And the $15/hr minimum wage thing is never going to work for the economy in general, never mind Target. Talk about skyrocketing inflation. Additionally, the people that don't get a proportional increase that are just beyond the $15 are going to get pissed and leave their jobs that they have a lot of experience in which is going to further worsen things.
I honestly hope McDonalds lays off AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE out in Los Angeles. Replace them all with machines. ALL of them. Have like 1 active employee at any given location at any given time. Those jobs are even less skilled than the jobs we have at Target, lol.
People shouldn't be entitled to anything. Life isn't fair. You can blame existence or God if you wish, but life isn't fair nor is it ever going to be. If you take away capitalism completely, you significantly reduce the speed at which new ideas and innovation are arriving.
If you can't afford to live in Los Angeles because you are working a shitty job with a shitty level of pay, then move somewhere else. You don't have to live in LA.
That's not to say that I don't care about these people, though I know it sounds that way, because I actually do. However, it's not the government's job to take care of you. Have some personal responsibility. And if you want to talk about the large gap and class divide between blacks and whites, that is a generational affair that can only be corrected through increased education. Raising minimum wage isn't going to do jack shit except make things worse in the long run. You have to correct these problems in the beginning... education, education, education.
