Am I the only one really bothered by the fact that the strawberry and the blackberry are touching?

[harleys-hyenas-deactivated20230]

Let them touch, they don’t get to often because of their tragic forbidden love.

Long ago, two Elder berries got into a fight, the tribe split in two, the strawberries against the blackberries. Now, new passions arise between the new generation - could this be the end of the feud or will it just fan the flames?

If you can’t fucking survive on fucking $7.25 go to fucking school and get another fucking job. Those people who run the fucking restaurants and shops who fucking give out minimum fucking wage need to make a fucking profit too. Get off your lazy fucking ass and make way for the fucking high school students and college students who fucking need that job that pays $7.25.

Here’s the thing about the minimum wage, when it was first instituted it was so that one person with one full time job should be able to support a family (of 4 I believe, sadly cannot find the source for this info right now, anyone know?). Since then, the minimum wage has not kept up with inflation and workers now are worse off than they were four decades ago.  In fact, if it HAD kept up with inflation, right now it would be around $10.74.

Furthermore, the idea that people working for minimum wage are teenagers is complete bullshit - in fact, it is more like adults over the age of 20.

Also the whole “go to school and get a better job” thing is top-notch advice obviously, but how exactly do you see the logistics of that working out? Take a person who’s barely surviving and probably already has two or more jobs… where EXACTLY are they going to find the time or money to “go to school and get a better job”? I mean really, explain this brilliant plan in detail please.

There’s this attitude like “oh, if you’re on minimum wage just get a second job! Or just go to school! stop whining!” as if people living in poverty don’t DESERVE small things like - spending time with their family! Sleeping! Doing anything BESIDES work!

Finally - this whole idea of look at these poor corporations “but they HAVE to make a profit!” Well, newsflash - they are. They’re making a huge profit. In 2012 alone, McDonald’s in fact made $5,503,100,000 in profits, so forgive me if I don’t feel too terribly bad for poor old McDonald’s, they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. And why is this idea so terribly controversial? That it’s IMPOSSIBLE for companies to make a profit without paying their workers as little as possible? Well, whoops in Australia workers get $15 per hour and the McDonald’s there are doing just fine.

P.S. if you wanna read a gigantic ass academic paper on why increasing the minimum wage is a thing that is good, here you go

reblogging for that ignorant swines comment..

I would also like to add that just because you go to school and get a bachelors degree doesn’t mean they hand you a fucking job that pays better than minimum wage the minute you get your diploma. It’s a total shit show in the jobs market right now for everyone, college education or not so fuck thinking going to school just instantly allows you to make more than minimum wage.

[dykebrucespringsteen]

if you actually think like that, then you need to sit the fuck down because you sure as hell have never worked for current minimum wage actually trying to support yourself

i have 3 fucking jobs (and i’m in school full time) all of which pay about my state’s minimum wage (which is well above the national minimum), and i still have to live at home because with those 3 jobs i’m still straddling the poverty line

ABC just released synopsis for Pilot

Written by Joss Whedon & Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen.

Directed by Joss Whedon.

In the premiere episode, “Pilot,” it’s just after the battle of New York, and now that the existence of super heroes and aliens has become public knowledge, the world is trying to come to grips with this new reality. Agent Phil Coulson is back in action and has his eye on a mysterious group called The Rising Tide. In order to track this unseen, unknown enemy, he has assembled a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division). The group’s first assignment together as a team finds them trying to track down an ordinary man who has gained extraordinary powers. Powers that could have devastating consequences.

Guest stars

Guest starring are J. August Richards as Mike, Shannon Lucio as Debbie, Ron Glass as Dr. Streiten and Bob Stephenson as Gary, with special guest star Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill.
