A longtime 82-year-old Las Vegas McDonald's employee hopes to retire, but like many other seniors, he cannot afford to.Edward Eubanks has worked at the McDonald
Or perhaps they could have applied their time to learning a trade or skill that paid more than a minimum wage, entry level job meant for teenagers?
Edit: This person I’d a Vietnam vet and we’ll past social security. They are likely eligible for a military pension as well as social security. They claimed they could not save for retirement while working what sounded like a solid job, but are they just unaware of the retirement benefits they already have??
Or maybe we can stop with the idiotic outdated views that “bad” jobs should pay badly and blame the workers, which is exactly what the corporations want?
If fast food is a job meant for teenagers, who works there during school hours?
I don’t understand how we got into this doublethink that a job’s responsibilities can be necessary while still somehow being beneath allowing those who do it to live.
Sorry friend but no one actually thinks this one through. Is McDonald’s closed when school is open? Who’s working when teenagers are at school? Same thing with any low paying “entry level” job. Who’s doing the work when school is open?
The article is light on details, but I am assuming he was a draftee in Vietnam, which means he served for about 2 years. You become eligible for a military pension after 20 years of service. I’m not sure what you mean by “we’ll past social security” - ‘well past social security’ ? If so, He is totally eligible for social security. The catch is, your SS benefits are based on what you contributed when you were working. Again, details are scant in the article, but it sounds like this guy didn’t have many high paying jobs during his lifetime.

Maybe not that shocked.
Yeah, if they wanted to be able to have a life after working full time for decades, they just shouldn’t have been poor. Duh!

Damn I should have kept reading down lol I immediately gave the same response as you about school being open.

A 19 year old?
So limit which jobs people can have based on age.
That’ll go over nicely in the land of freedom, eh?
Sorry, elderly lady who is struggling, you’re being replaced with 19 year olds because some internet dickweed can’t seem to think things through.
