Kids have jobs and the crazy left is making jokes about sweat shops and disrespecting the President? WTF is wrong with you people?

Donald is celebrating on twitter right now about this.

I don't think this is something that anyone should be celebrating. Don't get me wrong, I think having a summer job is good for teenagers. It helps teach them a sense of responsibility, and it's healthy for them to start developing financial independence. But this isn't exactly the kind of metric that the federal government should be aiming for. If it happens it happens, if not then it doesn't. Ultimately, this is a matter for parent and child to deal with.

But if Donald's claim is true, it goes to show that many people who blast fast food workers are completely off the mark. They constantly say that only teenagers should be working in fast food, but with so many youth working it clearly shows that teenagers barely scratch the surface on the demand for labor in the industry. Our labor market has changed since the 1960s. Fast food employees are the modern day working class. They should be given the same respect as the work class was shown in years past. After all, the only real difference is that in the 1960s the working class were predominantly white, while in 2018 the working class are predominantly black and Latino.

16 to 24 is the middle class. You’re just starting out. And what’s a post without some racism. Have to get that in there.
