This might be a bit offbeat for this thread, but...


In fairness, McDonald's seems to be planning to pay its employees better.

All that says to me is "I can't do math, so I'm gonna slacktivist it up and stick it to the man on this test that the man almost certainly will not look at."

Had it not been on a math test (and possibly if it hadn't said #yolo), I would have appreciated its merits.

EDIT: I get it now, huehuehuehue.

Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

If I were that kid's teacher, I would be beyond pissed off, but everyone who uses "YOLO" obviously have no shame in them.

My only problem with it is that even if you get a 4.0 GPA in high school through college, pick a good degree, and apply yourself, you're still pretty likely to get a minimum wage job at McDonalds (though that news about it seems interesting)
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

"Well, those students are just entitled shits who expect great jobs to be handed to them.  They need to work their way up like everyone else, even if starting wages are worth shit, because they're worth shit.  And if they never work their way up, they're obviously at fault for not trying hard enough."

Next time somebody says something like that, I'm going to call them a Social Darwinist.

They'd probably thank you and give you a copy of Atlas Shrugged.  Though, at least you'd come out of the exchange with plenty of kindling in case you ever go camping, sooooo...net gain!

I didn't know that factoid about Dick Morris. Surely he is the shittiest advertising executive of all time.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.
