Yes, entry level jobs. Thanks to our in bed with the corporations politicians all the good paying jobs are gone. So the entry level jobs become permanent.
I spoke with a provider the other day, she borrowed 160,000 bucks for her education. Her notes are 1300 a month for loans, some at 8 and 9% interest. She provides for a living. It just aint right, the banks are making billions off the backs of our kids. AND no way to get out from under the loan, no bankruptcy, and garnish wages. Fukin politicians

You are right. That isn't right. What isn't right is someone taking out 160,000 in loans for school and not thinking ahead enough to remember that they ought to study in a field that will pay them well enough to repay the loan. Hey, there is nothing wrong with a community college followed by a state school while working part time and finding yourself with 20,000 in loans instead of 160,000.

Sadly it's been that way for a long time.
Ike warned us about it when he said be wary of the Military Industrial Complex who calls all the shots on GOV spending.

Some get it and some don't, preferring to be tools and shills fer the MIC...... Originally Posted by Celso

Raising the minimum wage to $15 is clearly a case of being careful for what one wishes for:

why not skip the gratuitous raise in minimum wage and just cut everyone a check like they're proposing in Switzerland:

I might have to consider taking a lesser job than I have now so I can get some of the freebies. It might net me more money in my pocket. After Uncle Sam and Uncle Andy (Cuomo) fleece me every pay day, all I'm left with is $0.59 out of every dollar I earned. WTF !

It's sad and scary kids today don't have these opportunities avail in the past.......
