  1.  @captnwinkle  Also working fast food is high pace, quick thinking, Get a grip kid. I grew up poor but I am more than comfortable in an upper middle income job. But I ain't stupid and try to educate myself on the issue before mashing the keyboard. Stop hating on the poor and look into, particularly in the US, the rich steal. Here's a clue: the top 1% of Americans have 16x greater wealth than the bottom 50%. And look up how most of England's rich descended from the Normans, who invaded and stole the land.

  2.  @captnwinkle " you were born in the richest country club" - in other words, you are out of touch. Work in fast food for ONE day and you will see. You forget all digital kiosks do is free up that labour to do other things. Employment numbers haven't dropped. You also forget that the rich do not pay their fair share **in regards to actual wealth**. I don't think I am "the top". More I grew up, DURING ECONOMIC AUSTERITY poor

  3.  @captnwinkle  it isn't replacing them. Maybe look into the issue of job mismatching i.e. no one is going to hire an accountant to do a marketing job. Not to mention circumstances with lack of mobility, particularly in the US with it's deliberately shitty public transport infrastructure. Grow up kid.

  4.  @captnwinkle  literally you - "One experiment by psychologists at the University of California, Irvine, invited pairs of strangers to play a rigged Monopoly game where a coin flip designated one player rich and one poor. ... At the end of the game, when researchers asked the rich players why they had won the game, not one person attributed it to luck"

  5.  @captnwinkle  Where I live, Australia, has the highest adoption of digital kiosks and self service checkouts in the world. And the highest minimum wages. There is record employment in fast food and supermarkets. For someone supposedly well travelled and been in business, you dunno much about the world or business reality. You do know if Trump literally stuffed the money in a bank account and literally did nothing, he would have more wealth than now. Do regular folks have the opportunity to fail many businesses and still be rich like him or did his daddy's wealthy allow him to get away with that? Same with you and your opportunities.

  6.  @captnwinkle  not one of the rich players thought it was luck. This is literally your thinking. That others don't work as hard despite you getting FAR more opportunities "One experiment by psychologists at the University of California, Irvine, invited pairs of strangers to play a rigged Monopoly game where a coin flip designated one player rich and one poor. The rich players received twice as much money as their opponent to begin with; as they played the game, they got to roll two dice instead of one and move around the board twice as fast as their opponent; when they passed “Go,” they collected $200 to their opponent’s $100."

  7.  @captnwinkle  you forget because you are rich, you get far greater opportunities. Look up the massive starting funding Bezos, Gates and Musk got.

  8.  @captnwinkle  I am highly likely wealthier than you...DUE TO STRONG LABOUR LAWS.

  9.  W.t. Bonsell  minimum wages have very little to do with grocery prices or prices as a whole. Australia has the highest minimum wages in the world. Inflation pre COVID was..... 1.9%

  10.  W.t. Bonsell  it literally costs society more. i.e. inherited. they DIDN'T earn it.

  11.  W.t. Bonsell  it isn't vs commodities and literally rent. It isn't unless your company is a labour subcontractor.

  12.  @Ozzie2398  you might want to look into the food crisis in poorer countries right now.

  13.  W.t. Bonsell  you expect people who are poor to be able to afford one?

  14.  @boomerpc  it is people WHO CONTRACTED COVID. Read it. not to mention that is only the REPORTED number i.e. it would certainly be higher.

  15.  W.t. Bonsell  the ironic thing is that America is failing you. The poor white male American. Watch this: https://youtu.be/qYAMjewwcPw
