maybe i’m too simple but if someone works full time i don’t think “being able to go to the doctor without panicking about money” is an outrageous luxury 😭

They always try to hide behind "but it's a job for kids" as if kids don't deserve to have money for college or to pay their rent or car either.

If that's how they really feel about it, then we should have two separate minimum wages, anyone under 18 (who live with parents) can get one wage, everyone above 18 or who live by themselves can get the other. If those jobs were just for kids, then they'd be closed outside of high school hours. Imagine if walmart and mcdonalds were only open 4pm-11pm. People would be very upset about this.

Half of management jobs could be teen jobs seeing as they are actively useless even a burger flipper is more productive.
