What about the kids that were stoned all the way through high school and did not challenge themselves enough to chase education or skills and now cannot advance beyond the lousy job. Or their work ethic is too poor to keep one?
The problem is that the balance is lost, for every good example you have you have there are bad example too. Now out of "fairness" and not taking sides or wanting to make someone feel bad, everyone gets the opportunity not to chase opportunity. it is not sustainable.
Yes - the company that shipped a 1000 jobs overseas is part to blame, just as the 1000 kids that never chased the dream.
Most of us have worked the $4 per hour minimum wage job and we worked on skills, education, or chased opportunity to move beyond that.
Used to be that if you worked hard enough on your self you could improve your lot & luck in life, that message is getting lost.
