An employee at a major bank in Florida was so grateful we passed 15 an hour min. She makes roughly 19 an hour and her son works in retail. She said how pleased she was that they would earn more money. I stated "how we going to make more money"? She went on to explain her 20 years of service is worth a lot more than min wage. I responded the 15 an hour is like food stamps, designed to help the poorest among us. She than asked the manager when they raise the min wage 1.5 will she get more money. To which she was told no, just the annual raise if available. It was at that moment she understood. Telling me if she could work at the zoo for 15 an hour why would she work in a high stress office. To which I responded "you wouldn't". In hind sight I should have said those making 100k would prolly get raises.

It's always after the fact that they realize that maybe their ideas weren't so good after all.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The Highway to Hell is played by AC/DC.
Joe Biden stares in the mirror and asks, Who made who?
Paved with bad retarded ones too. It's really an inability to perform basic satirical thinking and opt instead to make change at any cost for the sake of making change. It's Idiocracy.
Why do they think society is the way it is? It came from years of trial and error. Stuff that didn't work was discarded.
In our society though? Maybe I'm missing some key points but when I think about it for a second it seems to me like we have discarded the good and replaced with the bad. The stuff that doesn't work is what we have now.
I meant the conservative society that worked before clownworld. People with skills were hired and promoted. Students had to sit down, shut up, and do their work, and were taught facts instead of asked how they felt about the material. People have been brainwashed by communists to "change the world" but when something works, there is nothing wrong with staying the same - they just want us to destroy the good we have built over the centuries and start from scratch so they can rule us.
Even after the fact these commies will blame capitalism and claim that it has failed, not their retarded policies.
