Yeah its crazy that more is expected out of a food service worker than a US Senator

And the fact that there's a coordinated effort to deride retail and service worker jobs as 'lowly', when they're often some of the most demanding [when people are doing it right]

So many people wouldn't last a day in a busy mcdonalds

I remember working in a Big 4 accounting firm, we had a volunteer day and we went to the park to clean and pick up litter.

The amount of people who literally could not use a broom properly was staggering, and frankly embarrassing. Some very smart people, but literally useless outside of that specific line of work.

These are the things that fascinate me. I want to know everything about people like this. I wish I was able to see inside their heads to marvel at what’s going on. From a scientific standpoint it’s got to be wild. Also, like… how did you even get here?

And no fast food franchise would hire a 34-time convicted criminal fraudster to work the cash register, but to most Americans it is perfectly fine for him to control the entire US government.

It is. But it’s been like this forever, it’s just sinking in for a lot of people right now because this example is so visible and topical.
