Should a person making food at McDonalds be able to afford rent and groceries with their paycheck?

who said that ? like where is that in this thread ?
You implied as much and please don't try to now play stupid with me lil nikka. You said what you said.
I dont know a single city from san jose to sacramento that doesnt have small 1 bedroom places for rent

Oh you don't? Well shyt I guess that means I'm wrong and there's a surplus of affordable studios and apartments for young single Californians then. How bout you go ahead and show me a couple different affordable small 1 bedroom rental listings since there's apparently just so many....

Meanwhile the two lil links you provided did nothing to disprove my point. You linked some bullshyt about Richmond's rent ordinance and SF's alleged 305 vacant "affordable housing" units but it appears you didn't even read what you posted. Those units remain vacant due to absurd requirements NIMBYism and ignorance....3

Oh no, you're resorting to deflection and random insults when called out on your own bullshyt. How embarrassing.

Hey man, instead of further humiliating yourself how about you find a nice quiet corner to blow your brains out in?? I feel like we would all be better off....

This type of blanket terminology is the problem

Everybody ain't upwardly mobile. That ain't how societies work. That ain't how humans work

Y'all speak from this perspective where everyone is supposed to be extremely ambitious and a mega hustler and that shyt is fantasy. A society can't sustain everyone trying to be a certs/degrees God. There ain't enough demand for the type of work certain skills provide. Hell we've just seen tech sector realize how bloated they are as they continue firing nikkas by the thousands. We only need but so many engineers and HVAC specialists

But right now and for the foreseeable future, we need nikkas to load and unload these trucks, we need nikkas to flip the burgers and tell you what aisle the super glue is on. That Amazon package you got in 2 days didn't pack and ship itself. But y'all take every opportunity to remind those people that you barely consider them people in the first place. Again we NEED these people but that's hard to admit when you get off on feeling above nikkas:francis:

The rhetoric y'all use is adjacent to welfare queen, begging for handouts arguments being applied to some of the hardest working people.

And nobody's even saying a full time fast food employee should be buying BMWs. But they shouldn't be able to afford a home and groceries?:pachaha: just fukk em huh :francis:

These dudes have been engineered to live in a fantasy world where everyone one can get a tech job making six figures and if you don’t, if just means you are lazy and don’t deserve the basics.

shyt, a fast food worker feeding hundreds of people a day contributes more value to society that’s the douchebag stock trader moving numbers around.

America will destroy itself from the inside because hyper capitalism and delusional grind mentality has robbed too many of people of basic human decency and empathy.

I gotta get the fukk out of this country. It’s corrosive to the soul.

People who are working part time to supplement their salaries or people in retirement who need a few extra dollars or who want to still interact with people.

But any upwardly mobile adult shouldn’t be working here outside of managerial roles.

Most salaried jobs are 9-5.

You nikkas are retarded.

Yes they should and whoever has a better job than them should be able to live a life of luxury. Especially in the black community where getting kicked out at 18 is the norm for some reason.

No one's chanting USA!, but your "US is the Great Satan" BS, while happily living here for 20 years is tiring.

I wouldn't live in a state I don't like, let alone a whole other country :mjlol:

Yes, they should be able to and contrary to popular belief, most of them do with the help of government assistance such as SNAP, temporary assistance, subsidized housing, Section 8, etc 🤷🏾‍♂️.

People working jobs like McDonald's, Burger King, and most fast food restaurants/food service are eligible for those aforementioned programs and assistance.

Could they live off those checks alone, maybe but unlikely without the help of assistance.

See jobs like McDonald's and fast food jobs in general are supposed to be entry level jobs (think cashier, customer service, etc type jobs), meaning when you're young (teens to early-mid 20s) and just looking to get a taste of what employment feels like, similar to being a cashier or grocery store stocker and move on to something better in the work field whether it be in the food industry or elsewhere, you're not supposed to make a career of it unless planing to become a manger or owner of a franchise.

The issue is that most people in this country don't have the necessary skills to improve themselves which is why you'll see people in their 30s and 40s working Burger King (it's not their fault) when they should've been moved onto working something better in the food service industry.

You new nikkas different. I never thought I would be met with “Go back to Africa” on a hip hop site for advocating for better pay for fast food workers.

Next I’ll be met with “blue lives matter” for calling out police who kill innocent black people.

No one told you to go back to Africa, you cry baby. I'm asking how you as a person, who loathe capitalism and this country but have somehow allowed it to have you live in a country you hate on the other side of the planet for decades. Do you see how stupid you sound. You are the worst kind of hypocrite!
