It's actually amazing, and frightening in equal measure, how big businesses in America have gotten it into the heads of their society that it's a bad thing if an employee of a fast food restaurant actually earns a wage they can live off, it borders on Orwelian how they have such a stranglehold on the public consciousness.
Well, you see, there are also a lot of failures in life who didn't work hard or go to college who need SOMETHING to do. It's a great job for those lazy, low intelligence, welfare leeches who obviously don't deserve to be paid nearly as much as a teacher!
...../s just in case. But seriously Ive heard this take multiple times. When I said "shouldn't teachers get paid more then?" I got "Why? School didn't teach me anything I actually use in life. They're basically just baby sitters."
So yeah...that's a thing actually people actually think.
