Do My Ears Deceive Me?

Hello My Dear Friends! As you may have realized by now, the world according to Me can be very different than the world according to others. The good news is that I am generally right. The President says that we, with them help others, will diminish ISIS to a "manageable problem". Mr. President, with all due respect, you "manage" your weight; you ELIMINATE your enemies. Grow a set, will you! Enough is enough! Contrary to what you seem to believe, golf balls are not the most important balls a man can have. Okay. Now, with all eyes on ISIS, are you aware that Libya has reported that they have 11 commercial airplanes that are unaccounted for? It's true. When rebel groups overran Tripoli, including the airport, they made off with 11 planes that have not been seen since. That's a little terrifying, don't you think? The good news is, with our post 9/11 technology, those planes would never make it to the United States. The bad news is, most of Europe doesn't have such technology. You'd think we'd be hearing a bit more about this, wouldn't you? I guess Justin Bieber's latest arrest is more important. So, as I write this, hundreds, maybe thousands, of fast food workers walked off the job to demand a pay increase to $15 an hour. Good luck with that. That would work out to about $31,000 a year to flip burgers. Consider, if you will, that the average Bank Teller begins at about $24,000 a year. A Soldier in the US Army, reaching the rank of Private First Class (E3) with a minimum of 6 years experience can expect to earn $24,400 a year. The average Police Officer begins at $28,000 a year. Anyone silly enough to want to work in radio can expect their first job to pay about $23,500. I think you know where I'm going with this. Obviously the above salaries vary by state and such, but the point is the same. $15 an hour to work in fast food is ridiculous. I understand that you can not raise a family on $8 an hour but, guess what, that's not McDonald's fault. That's your fault! I know, shocking right? Did I actually just say that people should take responsibility for their own future! Yes I did. Perhaps, before you start a family, you should think about how you're going to support them. What!! If it is your lofty goal in life to work at Burger King, that's your right. Good for you. If it is your goal in life to buy a home and raise a family, then maybe you should aim a little higher than the King! I know it's a crazy concept but it just might work! Why not get an education, work hard and earn your future instead of sitting on your butt in Times Square with a sign that says "Gimme More".
