Yeah, how dare they attempt to get by with a shitty minimum wage job? Everyone knows they should bust their asses even harder going to school at the same time while working so they can maybe have a chance at something that pays better and works them even harder.
Seriously, if at this point in your life (30s & 40s) you find yourself in a job like that, you're probably just really down on your luck. It took me FOUR YEARS to find a decent full-time job, and in that time I only managed to work part-time and/or go to school. Anything else just didn't work out.
Ouch.... now you completely lost..
Since it's the absolute opposite. It has everything to do with man hours. Without them, you wouldn't work..
In order for anyone to have work, someone has to create the man hours for it.
Your boss did that. He has a company, that company has a product called man hours. To get them covered, your boss hires people. Exactly as many people as he has man hours available.

I'm working my own full-time job, living on my own, and buying my own shit now. All I said was it was hard and took a LONG time for me to get here. You know why? So maybe you could see through your blinders and realize that sometimes 'pulling yourself up by the bootstraps' takes a lot of time and effort, and just because someone is in a shitty situation RIGHT NOW doesn't mean they're not trying.
Wow you really are an amazing person. If only more people could be like you, we could avoid all these economic depressions and stuff.
You are derailing a thread that is about a lawsuit where a company failed to uphold basic human rights... this thread isn't about you. Moving up. Salary or whatever not. Stop derailing.
Edit: Before I catch myself derailing it myself, I had written a reply was getting upset:
Walmart is gonna drag this as far as they can just in hopes they can outlawyer them and tbh I can even see them getting away with it - unfortunately that's what big corps can do nowadays, nobody ends up paying for the crime but the people at the bottom.
