Are fast food jobs (McJobs) just starter jobs anymore??

Time was when fast food jobs --- yes, soda jerks in my day - were starter jobs for young folks looking for their first serious work experience.

Then along came tax increases, regulations, and forcing American manufacturers to move abroad with those jobs to be able to stay in bid'ness.   Then in 2008, along came Obama, and the loss of millions of well paying American jobs because of green industry failures,  affordable health care -- and even loss of the forty hour work week. 

Moms and Dads can't support a family on $7.25 per hour - that's for sure -- and neither can their 20 year old kids afford to move out of the house on that wage and limited to 30 hours per week. 

But if there is no UP, what does one do? Even a recent grad with a Masters degree in languages can only offer these language skills to that job:

• ¿Quieres papas fritas con eso? (Spanish)

• vous voulez des frites avec ça ? (French)

• तुम उस के साथ आलू चाहते हैं? (Hindi)

Meanwhile, on Labor Day, our community organizer and chief instigator in this nation gave a stump speech regarding "Taking our Country Back"  (note - he din't say from whom) Biden gave a similar rallying speech....

Now today's headlines are that ORGANIZERS have orchestrated strikes, sit ins and civil disobedience in 150 cities across the fruited plains.   To what end? If their product or service was worth $15 per hour they would already be getting it ---- and are in some places actually.  

So who is to benefit from this new discomfort across the voting population?  Mom & Pop fast food franchise? I think not!   The workers? I think not!  The buying public who are just as short of spare change in this economy as the workers? I think not!

Nope, the way I see it is simple. The unions are hemorrhaging members, the only large groups they have are gob'mint workers that you and I pay. The Dims are hemorrhaging sympathetic voters....

So why not  foment unrest and start public demonstrations and even rioting in the streets..   What's to lose..... it ain't like a Kennedy, a Pelosi, or a Biden is going to go to Mickey D's.....   

Interesting to see how this plays out -- but I believe that it's gonna be ugly and the same 'common folks' will get hurt that always do when unions and gob'mint join hands to pit one class of Americans against another...   Like they did with race bating in Florida, Missouri and elsewhere -- that kinda failed......

Surely, America can do better than this!!!
