[quote=Anonymous]Oh geez.

What happened to the days when we believed everyone, even if the best job they could do was flipping burgers or stocking shelves, should be able to put a roof over their head, food in their stomachs, and gas in their car? In the last 65 years something truly terrible has happened to the American mentality.

Not everyone can go to college.
Not everyone wants to go to college.
Not everyone who goes to college can get a great job. It is now the 1950s equivalent of a HS diploma: mandatory for most jobs but no guarantee for a good one.

But we still need garbagemen, nannies, shelf stockers, and someone making your burger. We have gone from a country that manufactures to a country that serves but somehow, probably due to our British roots, we feel that working in the service industry isn't worth a living wage? And when someone points this out your response is "too bad so sad should have had more privilege"?!?

Gross. I know it isn't just DCUM but can't we start by being conscientious about the need to have a workforce who has enough money to put back into the economy?[/quote]
