why do people go to college in the first place?
Student loans to live away from home while engaging in numerous reckless activities (sex, drugs, rock & roll) with refund checks.
Believe it or not, some people do go to college to better themselves.

They usually don't get the communications or liberal arts degrees.

We all know this country is severely lacking in Philosophy majors.

I'm not surprised 2 of the resident neocons think I'm a liberal though, "us vs them" mentality, etc.
misuse of the word neocon is also what makes you a liberal.
It's not misused at all.

So many Psychology majors too, and 99% of them stop well before attaining the Master's degree you need to do anything in the field...

Do burgers actually get flipped? I thought they just microwaved the patties, add some grill marks via food coloring and served it to us.

Except that doesn't work, as Russia showed us.

But forcing people to work themselves to death so they/their family can barely scrape by, HOPING something else doesn't hit the fan so that they have to sacrifice one necessity for another shouldn't be a thing in the developed parts of the world.

And these are the people doing those essential jobs as well.

"Hey, do this super important job to maintain our society as we know it! But we're only going to pay you in pennies. Enjoy living miserably!"

They think that anything that isn't "free market capitalism" (or their idea of it, as we haven't used it in a long time, if really ever) is communism, you can't rationalize with neocons.

Then there's just Chaos who's trolling as usual.

No, with the technology today there's no reason people should have to work to survive (food, shelter, clothes, mild entertainment, and possibly communication). Anything beyond that: sure.

The thing is we'd be further to that point, if we as a nation would stop trying to fix the rest of the world, or letting our money go to develop other parts of the world, with cheaper labor.

I mean eventually the whole world will catch on, but it will just take a *** ton longer.

All I know for sure is McDonald's hamburger patties are cooked by the dead stare of a 49 year-old mother of 6 in the Welfare for Work program. That's why their food tastes like a soulless husk and tattered dreams. (Cheese Extra)

1. what's wrong with a degree in communications? (I mean I can see ripping on the liberal arts degrees, and quite frankly I think they're a waste of tuition money, both by the people who get them, and by the school to "invest" in them. But that's me, and getting an actual skill.

2. Minimum wage should reflect a living wage, whatever that living wage is due to inflation (be it $15/hour or $50/hour) then so be it.

See, the illusion doesn't work unless she's got Fatty and Hogzilla in frame too. Then by virtue of comparison, she becomes passable.

The *** should they have to work to be allowed to live?

I think there's some confusion about "livable". I'm talking housing, food, clothing, water and some form of communication. I guess electricity by default? Cause cooking is a thing.

You might be including things like transportation because as things are, transportation is basically a necessity. Some people have to take jobs over an hour away from their home to support their family. Such as my uncle who lives about 1 hour and 15 minutes away from his job.
You remove the incentive of earning to survive and people will stop working. It is ludicrous to believe that people are willing to work for little to no additional reward, otherwise why do people go to college in the first place?
To spend a large portion of their adult lives paying back student loans because college is advertised as a necessity but priced as a luxury. And a degree only does so much when companies want 18+ months of experience in the field along with the degree.

Minimum wage should be about $5.75/hr. It's too high as it is.
