It’s an extremely popular opinion among middle and upper class white people.
Also, aside from this completely uneducated reasoning as to why minimum wage was created…
I can guarantee that there are tens of thousands of teenagers who have to pay bills and help support their families or are the only financial supporter to their family.
Not to mention, if these businesses are only being run by teenagers, then they wouldn’t be able to function or run during school hours.
From now on, all McDonalds can only operate between 4:30pm-10pm on weekdays.
Someone already shared this on Facebook, and sorry, but I have to disagree. At least partially.
Here in Missouri, minimum wage is definitely enough to get by on. I’ve been surviving on a part time minimum wage job for almost two months.
Now - I’m in an apartment with a few other guys, so rent/utilities are split up between us, and even though Missouri’s price of living is dirt cheap - it leaves me very little spending money. But regardless, we shouldn’t be saying it’s impossible “anywhere in the US” when it’s plenty possible to live off of minimum wage in at least one place.
Easy? No. But possible.
With multiple roommates. So you arent actually covering the rent with your minimum wage job. Its taking multiple people in one house to do so. Thats the point.
lol, that went right over their head. “i have to live in an APARTMENT with 3 other people on minimum wage so this post is cancelled, im alive and breathing with my part time job” unless you live in a heavily populated city like new york, sharing an apartment shouldn’t be commonplace. and also… thats not really living. wouldnt be surprised to find out that guy doesnt have a car or pets and is still on his parents insurance.
Feinstein: You’re a big, powerful man. Why didn’t you [gestures pushing motion]?
Crews: Senator, as a black man in America [sigh]…
Feinstein: Say it as it is. I think it’s important.
Crews: …you only have a few shots at success. You only have a few chances to make yourself a viable member of the community. I’m from Flint, Michigan. I have seen many many young black men who were provoked into violence, and they were imprisoned, or they were killed, and they’re not here. My wife for years prepared me. She said, “If you ever get goaded, if you ever get prodded, if you ever have anyone try to push you into any kind of situation, don’t do it. Don’t be violent.” And she trained me. I’ll be honest with you it was the strength of my wife who trained me and told me, “If this situation happens, let’s leave.” And the training worked because I did not go into my first reaction, I grabbed her hand, we left, but the next day I went right to the agency. I have texts, I have phone conversations, and I said, “This is unacceptable!” And I told them how -you know- I almost got violent, but I didn’t. And I said, “What are you going to do about this predator that you have roaming your hallways?” And -you know- I was told, “We are going to do everything in our power. We are going to handle this Terry. You’re right. It is unacceptable.” And then they disappeared. Nothing happened.
Look at the faces of the black men behind him it says it all.
This is real fucking infuriating. This shit isn’t funny. Fuck them and anyone who makes fun of Terry Crews speaking out and taking a stand.
dude fuck the dumb bitch judge who asked him that in such a fucked way. you can tell it bothered him too, when he responded he started with “big” and stopped himself because he knew he couldnt attack that type of prejudice that way. 200% proud of him for keeping his shit together both the night this happened and in court.
Don’t let people make fun of you for liking japanese culture.
I am living in japan right now and let me tell ya:
There are people here who can’t speak or understand English who play nothing but Missy elliot and ludacris, even in businesses like housing offices and restaurants.
There are people who have cowboy hats and dead cow skulls in their home because they idolize what they assume American homes are like.
There are people who learn English strictly through music videos and American television shows.
There are entire karaoke bars with english songs often sung by people who have no idea what the lyrics mean.
Japan often takes American shows like the powerpuff girls and make japanese versions of them.
They often mistake common Americans for celebrities. I have been mistaken for Micheal jordan, tiger woods, Shaquille o'neal, Tyler perry, and saddest of all: queen latifa.
The act of sprinkling English into your japanese sentences is considered cute and cool and is popular with teenagers. Bonus points if you happen to use it correctly.
Japanese stores sell shirts with english on them and people buy them not knowing that most of those word combinations are nonsense.
Don’t let someone shame you for singing an anime opening, using japanese in your sentences, wearing clothing with japanese on it, ect. If anything, this is just one more thing that you have in common with them.
The American/Japanese cultural exchange is so pure and wonderful and I love it so much
OK BUT RESONATE WITH THE SHIRT THING THOUGH
My Chinese relatives buy me shirts from China with English letters on them hoping I think it’s cool
I have a shirt that says “Hi Quality Uality”
It’s amazing
It happens alot.
And then what’s really great is Americans getting tattoos of Chinese characters thinking they mean one thing when they really don’t
Also a topic where the reverse happens.
cant believe there are 76k weebs on this ugly site. stop talking about asians as if we’re fucking aliens. we dont appreciate you for appropriating or making fun of us or our culture. anyone who reblogs this can FAT block me 😷😷
according to OP’s bio one of them are japanese but i’d just like to add that it took me like 2 seconds to find mad misogynist, white, straight shit on that blog too so…… u choose 🤷🏻♀️
and if you choose. if you actively choose that one person being japanese, excuses this kind of cheap sell out of japanese culture and japanese people, then i’ll be the FIRST one to tell you uglies that this DOES NOT apply to chinese culture. keep your disgusting asianboo hands off of us at least thanks i tried
1) I cant believe there are still people who jump to accusations of “weeb” when people bring up actions that everyone do.
2) no one on this blog is white. Maybe do the minimum research before accusing us in your response and tags. You essentially just threw out random buzzwords to try and attack us instead of making a good argument.
3) an asian person disagreeing with you (in this post’s case, at least a few hundred), does not make them a “sellout”. It makes them someone that you cannot speak for. Scary, i know.
4) if blocking people who have different opinions is your thing, i guess go for it. But watch out for the future when all of your remaining friends are nothing but parrots repeating what you say absent mindedly
honey is the only food product that never spoils. there are pots of honey that are over five thousand years old and still completely edible
i also want to point out we know it tastes the same even after thousands of years b/c archaeologists who discovered two thousand year old honey tasted it. presumably right after they looked at each other and went “what the hell here goes nothing”
I’m pretty sure they also identify human remains by taste. Archaeologists are straight up freaks.
No, no no… you identify bone from rock or other substances by touching it to your tongue. If it sticks, it’s bone. The taste itself has nothing to do with it. And most archaeologists won’t lick human bones if they know they’re human.
…and I realize that doesn’t actually do much to prove archaeologists aren’t freaks.
mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone
Sometimes they just put a small shard in their mouth to clean it only to reveal it’s poop.
if it was a white guy holding a glazed donut hamburger w/ a side of deep fried twinkies, i would take a wild guess and say that emits an ominously american aura
i’m crying, it turns out the photo this ask was about
wanting to reblog a post but not wanting the comments or random one friend tags at the bottom so you click on the guy who commented above them but hes deactivated so you go to annoying tagger’s page and click on the blog that they got the post from and then reblog it from there so you can have a Perfectly Clean version on your page
I’m going to share with you the story behind this photo, because I personally think it is incredible and inspiring. This is my grandpa. He was born in Šibenik, Croatia, in a large family. They were poor, but happy. In Croatia, the term used for the kind of work they did is “težak”. It means farmer or a day laborer, but none of the English translations can explain the term 100% because it has a lot to do with our local tradition. His two elder brothers died (one from an illness as a child, the other was a sailor and he died at sea), so he became the eldest of five. A lot of responsibilities came with that. Grandpa was the best student in his high school, which was the best school in our town, and he also played an instrument, which he hadn’t touched since childhood, because his father broke it against his head, saying his dreams were useless. Before his last year of high school, his father also took him out of school to work full time. He was working for him all throughout elementary and high school, but his father wasn’t satisfied with just that, as he thought grandpa needed to do even more and stop wasting his time with education, hence why he did that. It was cruel and horrible. Grandpa loved school, he loved studying, he was great at everything, and he was extremely hard working. His head teacher even went to their family home to beg his father to let him stay and finish it, but great-grandfather was having none of it. On his last day of school, grandpa turned around, looked at his now former classmates and just said, “I’ll come back one day.” And he did. For seven years, he helped his family and he worked, he worked and he worked. He worked for his father, he worked on the side, he worked any job he could find, and he saved money. Finally, he had enough to go back to school, finish high school, and go to university. Med school. He put himself through med school in another, bigger town, all by himself. He continued working throughout the duration of his schooling, and he graduated with greatest honors. This photo was taken after he graduated. He paid for a photoshoot himself, he wanted to remember that day. He went to a photo studio in a suit, brought a bouquet and said that he wanted to have his picture taken like that. So he did. Some people teased him about his vanity for that, but he didn’t care about it. He was a doctor now. He worked hard and made his dreams come true. Everyone could tease him all they want, it wasn’t important. He had made it.
