If it's not obvious, I write this from first hand experience. I was a convicted felon and am well versed in the struggles, spare me the stories. I already know, I lived them personally.
Many, not wanting to put forth the required effort, use their status as an excuse to quit trying.
This demonstrates weak character and that individual deserves little more that "would you like fries with that?"

Sidebar: Ordered just fries once, I was seriously asked if I wanted wanted fries with my fries.
Another time, my total was 4.16, I give the kid a 5 & 16 cents... With the most bewildered look he told me I gave him too much. 😒 Just gimme a dollar.

I want to throw out a couple of thoughts I have about the mis-use of the term 'progressive' as a euphemism for 'liberal'. I've addressed this in public talks before but never put them to written media and would like feedback.
During the run up to the Iraq war and later, during #Occupy, I always considered myself a liberal, since that was the derisive term used by Rush, Hannity and others that I fundamentally disagreed with. It was a label I wore with pride.
I'm not sure exactly when "progressive" entered my lexicon - it was probably during the @BernieSanders campaign, and it seemed like every "liberal" politician was using the word to describe their positions.

Women are the majority in America.
Stop calling issues essential to our survival #identitypolitics.
We are paid 3/4--or less--than men are for the same work.
We are 80% of the minimum wage workers.
We are the majority of the working class & the working poor.

Single mothers and women over 65 are the poorest people in America.
So when you talk about "economic justice" and the #FightFor15 you're talking about WOMEN--not the white guy Trumpers & Berners the MSM keeps writing about.

The claim of #identitypolitics is meant to shut down discourse on #ReproJustice--but nothing contributes more to women's economic inequality than being forced to have children before she's finished school or is financially ready.

if you have off from work today, btw, thank a "violent" "leftist" protesting the "wrong way": en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman_S…
Labor Day exists because Pullman rail workers got fed up of high housing & living costs in the company town they were forced to live in.
If you don't know what a company town is, it's hard to find a good overview today. Why? Because history is written by the ruling class...
