So because you beat the odds, other people aren't worth a living wage?
There's no odds to it. I had years of failures, but I never gave up. Most people give up because they're not willing to fight through adversity.
My GF is a manager at walmart, who started at a time in the company when 7.25 an hr was the minimum. She saw Walmart go from that to 10 an hr and now to 15 an hr, and still, the same people who complained and stuck through the increases remain with the same poor work ethic and attitude. This is my criticism towards those complaining about payrates: their work habits and culture didn't change, despite some nearly receiving almost double their previous rate over the past few years.
