You people have a MAJOR ERROR in this video. You say that "unemployment benefits are not compulsory in America." That is wrong. Search for "unemployment benefits" and get the facts.

Let us stick to the facts: 7.2% of American workers hold 2 jobs. Some of them hold 2 jobs because the economic situation forces them to. Some of them hold 2 jobs by choice. The data does not sort out which is which. What we do know is that if the girl in the video works hard and proves herself, she can move up in the company and become an assistant manager and then a manager. Then she can quit the second job and just work one job. We call this "upward mobility." Upward mobility is a foundational principle of The American Dream. There was never any intention for a person to stay in an entry-level job permanently.

@user-we1ri Empathy has nothing at all to do with intelligence. The fact is that the United States government says that my intelligence level is among the highest in the nation. So you really do not need to concern yourself with my intelligence level, do you? Just stick with chatting and making your point. Why would you think that you could read two comments from someone and judge their intelligence level from that? That really was not a bright thing to do, was it?

Guy is losing his job and going to be out of work tomorrow and instead of going out to look for a new job he is standing on a corner holding up a sign.

@blackmaster999 It is not the government's job to build houses. Building contractors build houses.

@user-we1ri Okay. Well the way you bring prices down is to increase the quantity supplied. So pick a necessity and open a company and start producing more.

@user-we1ri Why wouldn't people "work to deserve food and shelter" ??? Are you lazy or a communist?

@user-we1ri There are 32.5 million "greedy" small business owners in the United States who are "capitalizing off of the workers" and earning GOOD money doing it. If you think starting a business is the "dumbest solution" you will always be one of the poor workers. Who is dumb and who is smart?

@user-we1ri I used to work as a stone breaker in a stone quarry. It would be interesting to see you try to do that job. When I was a teenager, I used to go out on the farms and work in the hot humid cornfields detassling corn all day. Would you like to try it? Of course I have a good reason why basic necessities should be earned. It is because working for them is the only way to get them: Imagine that you are lost in a forest with only your family. The first thing you need is some basic necessities, right? The first basic necessity is water. You are going to look for a stream and carry the water back to your camp. Carrying the water is work. But so is looking for a stream. And do not overlook that you may need to make a bucket first. You are working and earning your basic necessity of water. Then you need food. You can try gathering herbs or nuts and berries or you can kill an animal. Either way, you have to wash and clean the food and cook the meat or you may want to roast the nuts and vegetables. So you are working and earning your basic necessity of food. Your next problem will be as the sun goes down, the air will start to get cold. So now you need to go gather some firewood to make a campfire (and you need to get done while it is daylight and you can still see). Gathering wood to build a fire is working and earning your basic necessity of warmth, right? Then the sun is going down and you have no shelter so you start cutting down trees. More work and earning basic necessities . . . On this planet Earth, the only way to have basic necessities is to go out and work and earn them. It is the natural law of the planet. The question is not "whether basic necessities should be earned." The question is "how else could you get them?"

@LarryAlexander-hf3lc I will tell you: Entry level minimum wage jobs are for teenagers living with their parents. Instead of trying to work 2 jobs this lady should be living with her parents. Then she will have time to go to class. Then she gets a Pell Grant from the United States government which pays her college tuition and books. If she needs additional money to support herself while in school, she is eligible for a federally guaranteed school loan. If she chooses to accept that much money, she can borrow as much money as would be needed to live on until she has a doctorate degree and the government will guarantee the loan. A government guaranteed school loan can provide enough money to live on your own in your own apartment. But it is wasteful to borrow that much money and better to be roommates with somebody. And on-campus housing is cheaper than an apartment. Alternately, if she does not want to go to school, she can do a good job at her current job and get a promotion to manager and make more money (management experience is a job skill). But at the current time, she should be living with somebody and sharing expenses -- not working 2 jobs. American life is easy and we do not know why this girl is choosing to do things the hard way. That was not covered in the video. And, no. Americans do not believe anyone is "entitled" to anything. People are expected to go out and work for whatever they get.

@nikkijubilant We drink coffee and energy drinks for fast energy. NOBODY smokes for the purpose of getting energy. People smoke because they get addicted to nicotine when they are an immature teenager and then they cannot quit.

@LarryAlexander-hf3lc No we do not believe that working Americans are "entitled" to a living wage. We do not believe in entitlism at all. We believe that the opportunities are out there and "working Americans" need to get busy and go out and take advantage of the opportunities that are out there. Single women can live with their husband, their parents or a roommate to save money. Why would they need "a living wage" ?? If you check most countries in the world, families live together and share expenses. Every single person does not go off on their own and live alone and insist on earning "a living wage." Additionally, they can cook at home to save money and they can share travel to save money.
