There’s anti-American sentiment at home too
Nah, that’s anti-fascism sentiment.
It’s the fact we love what America was and can be again that sets us apart from them.
My state is a traditional American state, where we uphold the values of the past from 1776 - 2015.
Yes but I think it’s that cost of goods increase and income doesn’t. It takes over an hour of work to feed one person with these prices.
When I first started working at minimum wage, you could buy 3 packs of decent cigarettes for an hour’s worth of labor
For the last few years the places I have lived, one pack of cigarettes is about $17. So over 2 hours worth of work at the minimum wage just for one pack of smokes
Now, this may sound like an old fogey story, but perhaps the point is that I entered the workforce when minimum wage was like $7.35 an hour less than 15 years ago, and I already have old fogey economic stories
Fast food is a similar story. It’s something bad for our health but was more excusable back when it was cheaper relative to wages. The fuck would I work myself to death just to be able to smoke a dart or eat a garbage hamburger?
I don’t know I’m a pretty anti-American American. Though that’s the least of my problems with Mackers
Maccas with a hard r? Where are you from?
America, unfortunately
I don’t know how we call ourselves free when we still have a Burger King
The reach of the Burger King extends the globe, but it is far from absolute rule. Most have democratic burger parliaments.
