as small as a world and as large as alone

People look down on McDonald’s employees but fail to realize that if all these folks left McDonald’s and pursued “better careers”  your ass wouldn’t be able to get a McDouble with an Oreo McFlurry at 3am. 

You can’t demand a service while simultaneously degrading those who provide it for you. 

This includes people in food service, cooks, farmers - all the people who make sure food gets to others.  And janitors and houskeeping staff.  And wastewater.

Right now, all these jobs are necessary for our society to function.  These people are the solid ground that the rest of our society stands on.  We should treat them right.

And if you say to one particular person who can’t handle the low wages and disrespect  that comes from being the foundation in this messed up society “You should go to college and get a better job”.  That doesn’t fix the problem.  Because someone needs to make the food and clean the place and fix things.  And that someone is a *Person*.

We need to treat *everyone* right.

Make sure every person can live well.

No such thing as a person who doesn’t need and deserve the basics of life.
