Sitting in a restaurant today I realized how much trouble we are in for

Was looking at the waiter at a local restaurant today. He is the first male waiter I have ever seen in this restaurant. He is a good kid too. I like him a lot. Be proud to have him as my own son. That good of a kid. My daughter was a waitress at this same restaurant when she was 16 and still in high school. Doesn't pay anything. My daughter made enough there to live home at no cost and make a small car payment and her car insurance. That is it. Got millionaire farmers who come there and have their coffee cups filled and be waited on hand and foot for hours on end and leave a nickel tip. Those farmers are still coming in there. They still leave a nickel. Now I see this adult waiter doing the same thing my daughter did when she was a kid for that same nickel.

This kid is old and healthy enough to be loading hoods at an auto plant. That is what he would have been doing 30 years ago. Hard work. But good money and benefits. Now I see this kid waitering making shit money and ask myself is this who we are going to be depending on to fund social security, medicare for the old folks and pay our government employees and their retirement benefits in a few years?

Then it hit me. This just isn't going to work. No matter how bad we want it to work, it just isn't going to work.

Now multiply what this kid is doing times millions more kids just like him all across America.

See what is about to happen?

Don, welcome to a fundamentally changed USA and the an 0bamaconmy. I bet the kid would have had a good paying job before the demokrat party took over congress in 07.

Thanks United Auto Workers!

Thanks tax-and-spend democrats!

How much of a tip did you leave, Don?

[Freeper]

How much of a tip did you leave, Don?

I understand that grouchy old Don actually takes tips off the tables and takes them for himself. 

[BattleHymn]

Why is the Don primitive patronizing a diner that doesn't pay their employees a living wage? 

Isn't that their beef with Walmart? 




Well, Don?

     That tells me all I need to know. Don thinks kids should aspire to stifling manual labor building cars on a production line. That is the ne plus ultra of existence to a worthless ****stick like Don, if only because a union is involved.

     Don, maybe you're too *******ed lazy, stupid, and unmotivated to have ever done anything else in your life, but I am willing to bet that this "good kid" you identified is preparing for something much more interesting and substantial than "loading hoods at an auto plant." He could be working to support himself while he prepares for something better. He may not be willing to allow the arrow to stop on 'UAW drone" like you did.

     **** you, Don. **** GM. **** the UAW. **** old people like you think the goal of life is to pay dues to a union.

Actually Don is sort of on the right track. When you have kids going to college getting stupid ass degrees that have no marketability at all, how are they going to earn enough to keep the entitlements going?  Also, when liberal America want abortion on demand, how are they going to get enough sheeple to add enough to the "lock box" to keep it viable?

[Delmar]

Then it hit me. This just isn't going to work. No matter how bad we want it to work, it just isn't going to work.

There's a word for that, Don.  Unsustainable.

[jukin]

Once the congress is republican and Romney is president watch how the economy takes off and the DUmp will claim it was due to Comrade 0bama's economic policies.

[Skul]

Donny-boy wants the kid to work for union wages and pay taxes, so he doesn't have to.
Right, donny-boy?
Listen up, lad.
Your beloved unions are what killed the auto industry here in the states.
That's why "the kid" can't get a job.

The 47% is up to 49.5%. How do they, in their wildest drug induced dreams, think that we can sustain the current path that obama has the country on?

Raising taxes on the 1% isn't the answer. Hell, raising the tax on the top 25% won't cut it. The Government needs to put a cap on entitlement benefits, limit lifetime eligibility to 4 years and institute a drug test policy that will deem anyone testing positive for drugs to receive a lifetime denial of any Government services.

If we don't get tough now, some very difficult decisions will need to be made in the very near future.

Now you've done it!
Murdering the sacred cow!
Next, I'm sure you'll wany voter ID cards.

It ain't just the current political set's idiotic notions on taxation and mostly spending. 

It's the fact that assembly lines are automated ina way that they were not thirty years ago.  A guy putting a hood on a car at an assembly plant would take too long and would be a poor process point on a companies DFSS sheet.  The world is rapidly moving on from the day of a laborer except in fields such as mining, some farming, and some specialty designs and construction, maybe customer service holds out a little longer but even that is changing now.  Everything that can be done by machines is going to be done by machines.  Humans are going to increasingly have to be highly educated, very computer and machine literate, and creative to be able to compete.  The DUmmies are Luddites, this is how a new BMW-5 is built in North Carolina....

     I guess people got tired of crackhead and drunk UAW monkeys mis-assembling vehicles.

Well, Don? 

Because ol' Don is still trying to weasel his way to a chair at the millionaire farmers' table. And they won't let him in. Too bad, Don. I always sit at the farmers table where ever I go. It's an attitude.

Plus you gotta have a rolled bill seed corn hat. Y'know, one that looks like you stuck it in the mailbox looking for that subsidy check.

The BMW plant is in South Carolina

[NHSparky]

Notice how he never says the party affiliation of those cheapskate farmers.

A lot of liberals are shitty tippers.  Just ask anyone who has waited on them.

[Gwitness]

"waitering"?      morons..

[shoes off the couch]

Horrible bouncy. Horrible. 

[Karin]

BFDU, your earlier post.  I H5'd it. 

Isn't Don somewhere around Chicago?  Do you think anybody leaves a nickel tip anywhere near Chicago?  I can see that being hazardous to ones health.  Made up for drama and extra pathos. 

Why are you going out to eat, anyways, Don?  Don't you have to save every dime for those awful property taxes that your people, the democrats, keep jacking up? 

[Gina]

Um, so he is worried about who is going to pay the way of future people?

[DumbAss Tanker]

The BMW plant is in South Carolina

The logical outcome when a UAW worker, including penion load, medical claims, grievances, and workers comp fraud becomes more expensive than one-time-up-front million-dollar stationary robotic manipulator and its maintenance costs.

[Maxiest]

DON!!!!

GET A CLUE!!!

Thank the Union and NAFTA and over regulation.

And there is nothing wrong with kid waiting tables.  I mean I did in HS and College.

Oh and 0 bongs... Because nobody is going to leave a nickle tip.  Even a bad tipper.

A bit behind the friggin' power curve aren't you, DUmmie?  Doesn't it worry you just a little bit how the scientifically proven stupid Conservatives could see this coming about, oh, 30 years ago?  Doesn't it bother you that your party has been busy killing off the jobs that make a large tax base for so many years and you're just now realizing it?

Unlike you, I'm was not stupid enough to think that I was going to go straight from high school and into a unionized mill where I would toil for 30+ years until it was time for me to retire on someone else's dime and I planned accordingly.  Unlike you, I realized about twenty years ago that whatever I had paid into SS was not going to be there when I retired and I planned accordingly.  I have told my children that 40 hours a week with no further education or marketable skill is the minimum and they are coming into a world where the minimum will no longer be acceptable on any level and they should plan accordingly.

Glad to see you're catching up, DUmbass.  Reality eventually hits everyone, some are just a lot slower than others.  Sucks to be the DUmmie that helped create a world in which they can no longer afford to live, huh, Don?

And if you ever doubt your epiphany, feel free to look for the union/democrat label:
