Honestly I get where you're coming from, the 15 min is a inflation nightmare waiting to happen, but don't take it out or demean the people who are still doing the job you're looking down on. Some jobs you could consider "easy" or "non important" can still be putting food on the table or keeping some kid's student loans at bay.
I'm not saying you're wrong but your rhetoric and your lack of respect for the starting worker, or at least people in low level positions doesn't make you any more right, it makes you look like a pompous elitist. And if you're on this site I'd like to imagine you're a hard worker like the rest of us, and not one the spoiled rich assholes that have pushed our country to its breaking point.
Take a step back, start an actual conversation, and realize that the world isn't us vs them, and that the people "scanning your bread" might have very little options in the working world, and the only job that a crumbling LA job market available really could be just "scanning bread" Californians may be damned fools but they're still human, still have kids, and still gotta eat. If you're really working class like the rest of us? Don't look down on the working class for decisions made by elitists that are trying to kill the working class.
You're just part of the problem at that point.
This is what happens when your citizens are raised from their youth to love their country, their brotherhood, and are shown what it means to defend it with mandatory military service. It's not a perfect nation, but it's a damned tough and unified one for a good reason.
Honestly I wouldn't recomend college at this point unless you're a really bright kid. Pull out, whatever loan you took out pay pack what you can now, go to a trade school, etc. I'd hate going to college in this climate.
You get what you deserve
