Lazy? Addicted? my daughter's experience - mini study of who we are throwing under the bus

[Lifelong Protester]

23. First, your daughter is lucky to have you

and second, I am furious that there is no such thing as a living wage for these young people. I think a lot of us 'oldsters', or boomers, would be glad to 'get out of the way' and let a younger person have a chance-but you know what happens? We hang on because of health insurance being a part of a job now (sorry, but that is an outmoded idea) and we are all now thrown into a pit of uncertainty. (Or what was being paid out in wages and benefits gets subsumed into someone higher up getting a bonus-or the boss gets to grin and say how much more productive the work unit is "Look how much we saved!"-and nobody is hired to replace you. So people get worked to death on minimum wage.)

And the rich just keep getting richer and laughing at the minimum wage service workers who keep the whole show running.

I'm all in for a general strike to stop the 'whole show'-there are way more of us than them (the 99% versus the 1%).
