Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Although I sound altruistic I didn't mean they were exploiting the "lesser" humans, they're exploiting the programs and using them in a more covert way to their own benefit. Walmart encourages people to use programs who will then turn around and use them where? Buying their shitty stuff in their shitty stores. Walmart is a shithole now, with strange people inside that don't pay with their own money. It wasn't a shithole 10 years ago. The only ones that aren't shitholes are in rural areas and small towns.
Do fast food workers really need $15/hr to fug up my drive thru orders?

Percentage wise, far, far less than even 20 years ago and dollar wise, inflation factored in, they're actually earning about 6% less today than they did 20 years ago.
There are more people with college degrees doing jobs that were considered "blue collar" than ever. Meanwhile, those without the diplomas are finding less and less jobs with any type of a future and forget trying to find a job once you're over 45, gods help you if you get laid off from a job you've held for more than 10 years. Even if you can find another job in the same field you're going to take a huge pay cut because there's plenty of college grads who are willing to live with mom and dad and do the job for slave wages -- meanwhile you've got a mortgage, medical bills and maybe a kid still living with you.
Manufacturing keeps moving overseas so all the suits in the boardroom are seeing record profits because now they don't have to pay a living wage to their employees. Heck, they don't even have to provide a safe work environment or humane working conditions.
You're married to a doctor and you have a career, you have little to worry about, relatively speaking. I have chronic pain and haven't worked in two years, can't find a job that I'm qualified to do now, am married to a man whose been with the same company for 39 years, is about to turn 60 and has a "blue collar" physical job. We can't afford LTC insurance so if he gets hurt on the job we're basically fucked, he'd do better to get killed outright. We have no family, our house won't be paid off until 2030, his pension was frozen and we can't afford to pay into his 401K. I really do hope I die within the next 15 years, seriously. One major health crisis for either of us, cancer, bad auto accident, whatever, we'll be destroyed.
This is not where I expected to be 10 years ago. One layoff, a few costly health problems, kids that needed financial help, a couple of major required home repairs and now we're completely in the weeds.
I have 1 part timer detailer right now, just recently hired him. It's his second job and he works late afternoons evenings for extra money. He approached us for the job and we could use the additional help so we hired him.
We don't currently offer a health plan. We lost our group policy last year when we bought my uncle out, but my are currently working on getting it set back up.
Everyone participates in the 401k and we match up to 5%.

So all you really need is to fire or make full - time that one guy, and Institute a Barry - compliant health care plan and you'll be Cindy - approved!
Cindy wants you to implement a zero - deductible plan tho.
