In the 60's, the dude that was selling ice cream cones from a truck. yeah, he did that supporting a family of 4 as the main bread winner. It's ridiculous how much wages have stagnated over the decades. What's hilarious is how bad all the mega rich are yowling over people making 17 bucks an hour, and the temporarily embarrassed poors suckling their teat.

A decade ago is 2012. I worked at Kmart and Home Depot (and construction jobs) back through 1999 and 2005. I worked with people who indeed made it there "living" back then. What the hell is wrong with that? Not everyone is cut out to be career professionals, but the retail wage workers deserve fair compensation for their work.

You're enraged why? Because people want to be compensated accordingly?
