Few working at Staples make a living wage.

164. I see I'm speaking to a wall. You don't want someone to get better...

you just want to shout ideology.

My point is:

Do SOMETHING. If nursing schools aren't a path (as they were not for me), then do something ELSE. Move (oh, you say they CAN'T). Go to a different vocational school (oh, you say they CAN'T). Get a second job (oh, you say they CAN'T). Get a different job (oh, you say they CAN'T). Can't, Can't, Can't. You are much too comfortable with that word, IMO.

But staying at Staples, which is what this thread is about, and hoping for profit sharing or significantly increased wages is a fool's game for an individual who is in a dire situation.

So you can sit there and spout your ideology. But it doesn't actually help anyone, now does it? We ALL sympathize with people in dire financial situations. I certainly have been there, as I'm sure you have. But sympathy and ideology goes only so far. It doesn't actually HELP.

Keep your "No, we can't" attitude to yourself, and quit telling people they can't do anything. I have faith in the ability of the ordinary person to do extraordinary things in extraordinarily bad situations.

Ideology is great for voting guidance. Not so great for helping people resolve a bad situation. Two different things. I mistakenly thought this thread was about HELPING people, when it seems it's only about ideology, for some.
