Qualifications are more important than gender

Took me a minute to figure out that your comment is saying almost the same thing as my meme, but from a different angle. :)

Tbh I was trying to think of a good comment and I guess I sort of accidently just copied your meme rofl.. Sorry 'bout that.. I do think you make a very good point, I had never thought of it this way before.

No it's good. It just means I should have "gotten" your comment sooner!

Who knows? But I'm glad you like it. :)

what if I told you he works for her and is taking the GOP for a ride to make her president?

Hillary also used to be a Republican.

this people do not care about ideology, they are in it for the money, they are not republican or democrat and don`t give 2 shit about me or you

There aren't any trolls on imgflip. The people you see arguing are serious.

;)

Just because you can see people sincerely arguing their beliefs, doesn't mean trolls don't exist on imgflip.

Submit that. Now.

Lol considered it this morning guess I will since you think so too!

Lol I considered this one too! I love bad luck Brianna!

I thought about doing an Hillary transformation to a man, but I am not on my computer.

Be more specific...

I heard he was also for poisoning old people, nuking whales, dumping raw sewage into the water supply, doing away with fire departments and sending the military in to Luxembourg. I really hate to see someone overstate their case halfway.

Lmao i heard he also wants to redo raiders of the lost ark and replace all the guns with walkie talkies

Lol wow

See the comments in the "boaty mcboatface meme for the proper accompanying image :)

Almost forgot about mandatory tanning until one reaches the required shade of orange;-)

New accusation: TRUMP SKINS AND EATS CATS! You heard it here first.

Don't forget giving babies "wet-willies" by the thousands.

Maybe so, but I'm pretty damn sure Trump would make a better president than Hitler.

Just stretched it.

Well I doubt his brain is full of untreated syphilis, so at least we've got that going for us.

Are you sure a dictator's the same thing as a president?

Dictator's lead the country, the same as presidents only dictators have complete control of the military and are allowed to kill whoever they want.

Both would be a disaster, but I would choose Hillary only because she's the disaster that is already happening. Donald Trump would just be chaotic as president, and chaos as leadership isn't the best idea. Just my opinion tho.

donald trump is better than her any day

U serious??? U do realize hes mocked disabled people at his rallies right?? There is SOLID PROOF he is a bigoted BULLY. All hed maybe run well is the economy and thats about it. He obviosly hates anything social and foreign countries hate him. GB did a petition TO BAN HIM for satans sake! Also I hope you have a bugatti in your garage. Cause if not, he doesnt like you. Your just a stupid poor person to him. At least hilary wants to raise min wage so people are less reliant on welfare! Cause you do realize some people have to work unappreciated MIN WAGE JOBS to FEED THEIR FAMILIES and PAY FOR FAMILY SCHOOL TUITION, TAXES ETC. And they have to have WELFARE from YOUR taxes because the min wage is SHIT. Maybe if consumers werent such assf**ks when shopping, good cust. service would acrually be available because people wouldnt be SCARED TO DEATH of the spoiled rotten CUSTOMER. Keep making it hard for min wage retail workers. You think theres little customer service now?? They already get paid 3$ more because its such a shitty job only cause again, of the spoiled as f**k CUSTOMER.

I would like to take you on a thought experiment.

You go to the store to purchase your favorite food item. Let's say it's a steak. But you're on a budget and money is tight so you save where you can. So you select a basic, unremarkable New York Strip steak and happy just to have a steak. The butcher informs you that it runs $7.25/lb and you gladly pay because you've finally go to a place financially that you can buy a steak this month. Next month, you return to the same store, select the same steak, but this time, the butcher informs you that the price is now $15.00/lb but at that price, you could also get a respectable low end Ribeye with nice marbling... but it's still a Ribeye.

Now if the store you went to is the job market... and the steak you are looking to purchase is an hourly employee (commodity in exchange for currency), and the minimum wage increases, would you hire the basic, unskilled worker or the skilled or educated worker with experience? Additionally, at the current minimum wage you could have two employees for the same cost as a skilled employee. If the minimum wage increases, you can have just one employee... but you have to make what turns out to be an easy choice... skilled... or alive.

I'm trying my best to explain economics, resources, and cost/benefit analysis to a layperson so hopefully this will reach you. A higher minimum wage will hurt the unskilled worker AND the skilled worker AND the business.... and the only thing that will definitely come of a higher minimum wage, is more people on welfare.

If you want a higher wage, become more valuable. Learn a skill. Go to school. NO! A college education isn't necessary to become a skilled worker. Check out Mike Rowe WORKS. Welders make a lot of money because their trade is a skill. Joe Blow off the street can't walk in and just "Ta Daa" weld because they are breathing like the 7/11 clerk can (and sometimes just doesn't) show up for work and mash buttons and take money.

Lastly, minimum wage is not, nor was ever meant to be, a living wage. It is a wage meant for the unskilled and juvenile. I do not have a degree. I make $60,000/year. I'm not rich, by any means... but I realized a long time ago that the only way for me to thrive as an ADULT is to learn a trade and be a skilled worker and be the Kobe grass fed Ribeye that's worth $25/lb.

That's all I have to say about that. Thanks for the read. And all the TLDR too.

Ok. I get your point. What u have to realize though is I realize that stuff but here are things to consider for the point of view of somebody who has actually worked in retail
1. Have you ever worked for min wage dealing with customers and mangers constantly grating you like shit? Not just a lower end job but MIN wage and dealing with CUSTOMERS and not just being like a cook or night stocker. If not, you can't fully understand it ever because you just do not know.

2. Don't judge your example of a 7-11 clerk so harshly because for all you know, he/she came to the country as a raped immigrant with kids they want to raise right. Let's say its a mom who has little education has very little and has to in fact live partially on welfare. The father of course doesn't wanna help. She finds a job at 7-11 as a desperate attempt for money so she can afford for her and her kids to live. She barely makes enough from welfare and 7-11 to get by. So, while the super rich people at the top of 7-11 blow their money on trivial things like a 5,000 wall painting of their butlers ass or the latest Lamborghini thats never actually used and just sits in the mega garage just like 10 other super cars, the working mom at 7-11 doesn't just come in very day and push buttons, but also acts as a sort of security and stocker since there is no other employees there. She also keeps the store spotless s
And is super friendly even though she's been yelled at by multiple customers for that 1 cent they lost cause of pricing error or because the gas pump malfunctioned. She thinks oh well and keeps on so much that eventually she becomes assistant manager and then manager while her kids exel at school and get all sorts of scholarships to Yale haverd etc. But theres a problem. She had to take out a loan b4 getting the job to be able to get to work with a car since there are no buses and her bosses would yell if she wasn't 100% on time every time as well as move out of the shelter she was in that she got robbed and almost raped again in. That min wage she lived off of wasn't near enough to pay back the loan and interest so her kids could have side money besides scholarships. Now what will they do? The kids get min wage jobs too so they can get enough money and do their jobdiligently Is this fair? Cause shit like this is real. No offence but if you never worked in cust service like cashier cart pusher etc, then u really have no clue
More arguments to come

To respond:

1. In retail, what skill do you have the justifies higher pay? What skill do you have that someone can't be dragged in off the street and perform your job adequately enough? Customer service is a skill... but it's a skill that nearly everyone with good manners can master in less than 10 minutes.

2. Props to the single mom working to support her family at 7/11. While she's doing that, if she's smart, she's finding ways to advance herself and add more desirable skills to her skill set. The idea is to become better and leave the 7/11 and move on. As far as the 7/11 execs... They've earned that lifestyle. They have kicked their own a$$es and played the game and climbed the ladder. Cleaning, being yelled out, being responsible for your children and personal matters... again this isn't a special skill (although nowadays it's starting to get that way). Everyone can clean. Everyone can be yelled at. And everyone SHOULD handle their responsibilities such as caring for their children. In our more and more progressive and liberal society, however, more and more people believe they are OWED something for nothing. "I'm alive and American and I work a non-skilled, not in demand job but I DESERVE to be paid the same as someone who has a skill or a trade because I AM ENTITLED!" This is in harsh contrast to "I don't like where I am and I will kick my own a$$ until I get to where I need to be because no one else will do it for me."

Remember, on our Declaration of Independence, it says "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Pursuit is the operational word here. The federal, state, county/parish, city governments have no responsibility to guarantee anyone's happiness which extends to income, possessions, job, etc. That's up to the individual. And the only way to provide those things for yourself is to WORK. Either work towards learning the skill you need or work towards getting the education that's required, or WORK the job you have and sit down, shut up, and quit whining about what you don't have.

Essentially, my point is one of the biggest problems with our society is that the youngest generation who overwhelmingly identifies as "progressive" or "Democrat" have failed to remember what one of the greatest Democrats said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." They are all DEMANDING free healthcare, free extra pay with no justifications, free education, and "the wealthy" to pay for it all.

Also... "the wealthy" is a very dangerous label. Where do we set the cut off? If you earn more than $500k/year? $1mil/year? You pay how much in extra tax to support John Millennial? 75%? 85%? So you tell the Chairpersons, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and other executives, entrepreneurs, and highly skilled individuals (programmers, doctors, etc) that there is NO BENEFIT to achieving that status or having that level of skill and they should be grateful to work for a maximum pay of $200k/year regardless of their actual earned income? And even more dangerous is telling an individual that's considering going into business for themselves or inventing a new product that there is nothing to look forward to in achieving success. Would you play a lottery that cost $100k (investment & startup capitol) that only promised to pay $200k/year (heavily taxed profit) IF you hit the lottery (succeed and become profitable)? As I said, I earn approx $60k/year but pay $15k/year in income taxes. That's 25% of my income already. I take home $45k/year and yet I am judged on the $60k/year by those that work minimum wage and demand their free stuff. And that doesn't even count sales tax, property tax, education tax, etc

So when you see a good ol' Constitutional conservative like me that gets all angry when people scream "tax the rich." it's not because most of us are rich. Again, I'm anything but rich. It's because I realize what's good for the goose is good for the gander, that nothing in this world will EVER be free, and the only way to sleep soundly at night is in a bed you made. And because most of us have spent the time and effort to learn economics and the valuation of a dollar based on those who don't have that dollar instead of the ones that do. Yep... that's right. The less common something is means the more valuable it is. As soon as the minimum wage is raised and everybody has more dollars, that also means the value of the dollar goes down and a loaf of bread will soon cost $2-$3 dollars instead of $1 like now.

Remember when your grandparents told you how bread used to cost a nickle? Wrap your mind around this: The price of bread went up shortly after the minimum wage went up. Check it out. :-)

Ok. You are a welder. Cool. That doesnt really have much socialization though as cust service jobs. It just doesnt. Cust service jobs show u literally evryone from everywhere with all kinds of mindsets and cultures. But with customers the way they are, good luck finding a cashier because there will be none left. NOBODY will want a cust service jobs if people keep looking down at it. Evrybody will demand to be a stocker or cook. Then good luck returning something. Cause you may have to wait a while.

2. I dont exactly support wages that are too high. Just enough to survive and move on. Like 10-12. Also, I think small businesses shouldnt be as forced with it as big ones or they will in fact shut down. I think just providing more traing and resources to move up can help a TON. But most companies ignore that and dont even do basic safety training, ethics training, or even how to work a cash register. (Becauae beleive me, its not learned in one day) I think if companies at least invest in training and helping people rise within the company can make up for the wage, but companies are so wealthy, they say f**k that as the ceo rides to his vacation to the ritz in the carribean. While all his workers work. Work hard. Work harder. Dont move up. Work even HARDER. Struggle with bills and hunger. Cant make a car payment. Live in a shelter. Cant pay a loan. And yet... They have a Yale degree... Of course theyre frustrated so therefore TURNOVER.

Actually no, I'm not a welder. I work for Uncle Sam in one of the "Initialed" agencies. I have face-to-face contact with the least favorable segment of our population on a day-to-day basis. The brand of "customer service" I must deal in is even more unique and multi-tasking than a retail in environment. I can say that with confidence because in high school, I had a retail job.

Continued below your next response.

Ok. Pretty impressive responce but I still disagree.

1. Dealing with customer service nowadays is a lot harder than you think because most people have your mindset that people there are less of a human than you.

2. Yes, they are temp jobs. But I know people with DEGREES working there because the degree is hard to use. They have to make money somehow.
Not everyone in retail is some random person off the street. Some are actually really smart. The ones off the street either learn smarts and rise or get fired quikly.

3. Again, you still dont realize that because YOU havent worked in retail, YOU don't truly understand. I know a manager at the store ex army. He had a similar mindset. He was in charge of overnight stocking and he waa always on top of it making sure everything ran efficient. He had the same thoughts about the front end. Hows it that hard pushing buttons? Cant be that bad right? WRONG. Its alot of multitasking actually. Do it wrong and everyones bonus is affected and people could get in trouble. He quikly realized it wasnt as easy as he thought. He admitted that. Keep in mind, Im prerty sure he was a pretty hard fighter or commander when in the military. Hes not stupid.
Therefore, you will never win this arguement. You havent worked that kind of job. You dont even try putting yourself in somebody elses shoes therefore, you do not know.

4. The wealthy (and yes even "upper middle class") shouldnt be wasting their money on the newest bmw or maserati and then complain when their taxes go to peoples welfare. As much as people abuse welfare, richer people abuse money. Ive seen steady middle classers waste money on private schools, name brand groceries, mercedez, beamers, oversized houses, etc. If people are middle class or rich, they are NOT entitled to that shit. That is LUXERY. There is nothing wrong with a gently used hyubdai honda kia, or toyota or a small house or even public schools since yes the system can be bad, but the socialization can really teach alot private Schools cant. It discusts me also how much is spent on private religious schools. Its really not necessary. Sooner or later, the chold will have to socialize with people different from him or her and that will be a lot harder than somebody from a public school.

5. The wealthy are not just wealthy. They own 95% of the wealth and alot by CHEATING and KNOWING PEOPLE and NOT by skill. Smart wealthy people dont show off their money cause it can be lost any moment.

This statement: "If people are middle class or rich, they are NOT entitled to that shit. That is LUXERY."

First, it's luxury. Second, they've earned it through hard work and they are much MUCH more entitled to it than people who do nothing for it or continue a dead end job without working towards a skill or trade.

THIRD... I can't even read the rest of your response because you just told me the money I earn from my hard work isn't money I deserve. That I don't deserve my new house and new car. To that, I can only say enjoy your fantasy world, sir. Because YES, I earned the right to have those nice things. And NO, you don't deserve a cut of my salary because you work in retail and think your job is "so hard."

That's all I have for you right now. I'm actually at a loss for words because you truly seem to believe you're entitled to my something to compensate for your nothing. Wow. Just wow.

Retail was different back then. And still, you get paid more. Also, govt cust service jobs are in fact WAY diff from regular ones. Where did you work in hs and as what? Also, like I said, NOTHING WRONG with a gently used hyundai or ok sized house. If you can afford better, fine, but its better to save up because you do not know what will happen.

Which usually that spoiled as f**k customer prefers TRUMP. See what im gettin at?
