You'e right, i did what I hate when others do it.

I agree with you that we should be fighting to bring back more jobs of all kinds.

However, I do disagree that we should exclude certain types of jobs like making burgers from the notion of a living wage. It is honest work, and for some people those kind of jobs are the only type of work available.

A fundamental problem is that business today expects something for nothing. Labor is as much a cost of doing business as rent electricity, supplies etc.
