Just in Case You Find Yourself Rubbing Your Stiff Neck, Sitting in a Cramped Coach Seat, Wondering to Yourself Which Presidential Candidate Still Experiences This

You know what’s a major pet peeve for me when it comes to arguments against raising the minimum wage? All the references to food service workers as “burger flippers”. Burger flippers are not a thing. You’re never going to see a restaurant post a sign that says “help wanted: hiring burger flippers.” “Burger flipper” is a term used pretty much exclusively to condescend to food service workers and downplay the real work and stress that goes into food service. It makes out like minimum wage workers are lazy people who are literally just standing at a grill, occasionally moving a spatula, all day, mindlessly, and that is their one and only responsibility, which anyone who has ever worked in food service can tell you is not what that job entails. It’s rhetoric used solely to designate them inferior. It doesn’t reflect the reality of minimum wage food service work. It’s annoying.

to put this in perspective, my job consists of:

prepping hundreds of pounds of vegetables alone per week, using knives, a heavy-duty meat slicer, and a vegetable chopper, any of which could easily take off a finger from a careless move

constantly refilling vegetables, cheeses, sauces, and non-perishables (cups, salad bowls, ecc)

cooking on a 200°-400° F grill for anywhere from 2-6 hours per day, often intentionally putting hot oil on it upon customer request

ensuring meat is not over or undercooked as to prevent food poisoning

quality control of every single topping on the line (freshness, consistency, overall taste and appearance), as well as making sure to regularly change gloves

being conscious and accommodating of any allergies or dietary restrictions

talking to a wide variety of customers each day, with a mandated Cheerful Smile, regardless of any events in my personal life or how they treat me

having to explain prices and menu options as well as toe the company line by upselling certain deals to every single person

and above all making sure all dishes and the entire rest of the store is clean and sanitary, as well as making it neat and orderly for customers.

every one of my coworkers does all of this every single day. every day my coworkers and i plunge our hands into scalding water to ensure dishes are properly sanitized, every day we take blades within an inch of our hands so that people have an enjoyable variety of food to eat. it is not uncommon to leave a shift at work with a second-degree burn at the very least.

what do i personally earn for this? $7.50 an hour, and that was after a 25 cent raise. this is an emotionally and physically taxing job. this job is non-stop customer service with concern for public health hanging over every move i make. what about this sounds easy? what about this sounds desirable for such a pittance? if i cared a little less about my job, hundreds of people could get sick in a single day if i served onions i dropped on the floor, or meat i undercooked, or if i sneezed and didnt take the time to wash my hands and change my gloves.

but sure. i guess i just flip burgers.

Today from Bernie.

He said nothing about his campaign in this statement, instead asking supporters to donate to the Emanuel AME Church community today.

Right now, Bernie is talking about the real issues that face people of color in this country. He’s taking a stand for the minorities and the people in this country who need a voice and a person in power to listen, understand, and help them. To make their struggles a priority to solve. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton tweets about meeting some white girls with a lemonade stand. We need Bernie.

PSSSSSST.

BERNIE SANDERS IS POLLING BETTER THAN THE TOP 3 REPUBLICANS NATIONALLY

BERNIE SANDERS IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE FROM BOTH PARTIES WHO HAS A FAVORABLE RATING IN THE EARLY VOTING STATES

BERNIE SANDERS IS ELECTABLE PASS IT ON

luciferandphilosophy

If you want Bernie Sanders to get elected in 2016...

Make these 2 things clear to everyone you know: 1) We MUST vote in primaries. If we do not vote in primaries corporatists, oil, and lobbyists win. You will be told by the under-educated that “A vote for bernie is a vote for the Republicans” - this is because they don’t understand the difference between the primary elections, and the actual elections.

The primary decides whether our *THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE* Bernie GETS to replace one of the 2 “parties”, with a man who is against the 2 party system. - That’s the most important part.

Second – Make sure that everyone you know understand this: The youth decide this election. – For the first time in history, there are MORE PEOPLE interested in a 3rd party person breaking the system, than are interested in supporting either of the two parties. 45% of american voters want a win from a third party. Which means that 1) They are within a 3% margin of a totally smashing defeat of the 2-party system, and the establishment’s ACTUAL plan to defeat it is: Hope that nobody notices. All the adults are trained into their stupidity.

When Barak Obama ran he almost doubled young voter turnout. We need just HALF of that to happen again, and for the 3rd-party believers to be united. United. From Anarchists to Libertarians, we need them all to agree to start out, by breaking the system.

THAT’S the primary. - If he gets the votes on the floor, and they REFUSE to give him the nomination? Then we’re at war. Period. We are no longer ruled by consent.

THEN, after he has the nomination, he will have a campaign team. A good one. We want to know who they are and then call them and ask them what they want and then do what they say. To the finish line. That’s about it.

Spread the info, guys. Bernie Sanders COULD actually change America. We need him. Please don’t take a lackadaisical approach to info spreading for the next year - get as many people on board as you have the time to convince!

Students Fed Up With Michelle Obama’s School Lunch Overhaul — Menu-Item Snapshots Spell Out Why

shybairnsget-nowt

Wow that is depressing.

realdowntomarsgirll-deactivated

okay but is that michelle’s fault for pushing for healtheir lunches or is it school districts’ faults for cutting corner by cutting calories but not making lunch any healthier?

let’s look into it.

muranette

^^^Agreed. She is trying. School boards aren’t.

shitgarbageoldblog

Yeah that looks like some of exactly the same shit they served when I was in highschool but less of it.

hands0me--jackass

DO NOT BLAME MICHELLE OBAMA FOR THIS SHIT.

Her heart is in the right place. This isn’t what she means by healthier lunches. She wants healthier options NOT less food.

Blame the school boards who’d rather take away food to spend less money because adding healthier foods costs more.

I reblogged for the commentary about school districts cutting corners

THE TRUTH OF NATIVE AMERICANS BEFORE THE GENOCIDE

nizhonibird

Gotta put this on blast. We never needed a white savior.

brown-likeme

I hate this country.

What I learned from this video:

100 million Native Americans died at the hands of white colonists

Instead of planting crops the colonists spent their days digging random holes in the ground looking for gold. They started starving and dug up Indian corpses to eat. They took Indian prisoners and forced them to teach the colonists how to farm

Native Americans had massive cities with tens of thousands of well constructed houses, intricate water canals and large merchant areas.

The Native Americans used soaps, deodorants and breath sweeteners while colonists never bathed or even took of their clothes

There was a delousing policy with the mantra Nits create Lice; nits being Native American babies, so their goal was to kill every Indian, including babies

In the 1700’s 80% of the Federal Budget went towards eradicating the Native American population so they could take their developed farmland

Colonists leaders went town after town killing men women and children under the approval of George Washington

"Pursue Indians to extermination" -Thomas Jefferson

California governor (1849-1851): “extermination must continue to be waged until the Indian becomes extinct”

The main factor which prevented Native American extinction was the fact they were used for slave labor. The most prized Native Americans were young girls who were said to be valued for labor and lust (that one white dude in your ethnic studies class that says he’s 1/36th Cherokee?)

In modern times children were forced into Indian Boarding Schools whose goal was to “Kill the Indian in them”. It was federal policy. They were beaten if they used their native tongue, they were forced to dress and style their hair like whites

This country was literally built on terrorism and mass murder. White people are savage terrorists.

Until, this is taught in schools everywhere- “history class” is merely a racism propaganda course.

Isn't this a bit counter intuitive? Isn't generalising an entire group of people based on their skin colour and the actions of some of their past ancestors and calling them savages kind of what the Colonisers did?
