And it is encouraged by natural demands as a result of barely making ends meet at that wage point. See the school system for why soley encouraging by word is not enough for improvement.
There *has* to be practical ramifications for people to have the motivation to move up. It's part of the wiring, for good or for ill.

That is so weird that in a place as expensive as Chi people would pay minimum wage. Cost of living is like half what it is there here and even 15 years ago you could not find anyone paying that little. Like 8.50 minimum for service industry shit.
I hope "fortnite world cup" was in the "paralympics" category

this was in the 70's, when it was okay to have military schools that taught you how to poison the local water supply, target the power infrastructure, and in his words "be a terrorist on foreign soil"
he didn't jazz with it
actually, doing the math again, it was early 80's
Yeah my buddy told me about a re-train he did between Afgan and Iraq. Stress cards and fucking cellphones. He was like, "It's not the kids fault Jym. They were fucked before they started."
Stress cards are an Army thing.. far as I know the Marines refuse such for the trash that it is.
Yeah he was army.
Yeah, when I went through Boot we mocked the shit out of the idea.
what even is this idea
