$20 an hour Minimum Wage coming to Oklahoma?

What happened to joining the military to get money for college? That’s the only reason I joined. Figured money for college and 4 years of job training and life would be good. All these kids complaining about paying back a loan. Nobody forced you to go to college and get a degree in Political Science.
As far as California goes. I remember living in Oceanside California in a 2 bed 2 bath apartment (800 sf) for $1100 a month. That was 21 years ago. I left California as an E8 (second highest enlisted rank) living from paycheck to paycheck. A 2 bed/2 bath in Norman with 900 sf costs me $970 a month today. The same apartment that I lived at while in California now costs $3500 a month. My advice to conservative Californian’s, move to a red state. For Democrats, stay where you are, it’s where you deserve to be.

Nothing “happened to it”. Hundreds of thousands of young soldiers sailors and marines are serving for that reason among others as I type. Just like you did, I did, and my son is doing.

Things aren’t nearly as bad as this board makes it out to be.

Fast food is not a career, it’s a stepping stone. This is ridiculous.

Being a short order cook can absolutely be a career. Making sure the tables are wiped, filling the napkin holder and making sure there are ketchup packets in the bin definitely NOT. There is no skill needed to wrap a burger. In fact I’ve eaten at McDonald’s three times in the past 4 years with the last being a week ago because I get a craving for a Fillet-O-Fish now and then. The service was abysmal and the food looked as if someone used their feet to assemble. No ketchup, no Tea and the girl that brought me my tray had enough attitude for three people……and for half the price I could have had a nice burger at Braum’s and the people there would have treated me like they appreciated my business.

I’ve pretty much written off all the fast food joints in my home town.

McDs is probably the least horrible.

Taco Bell is Self-Serve ordering. Nope not doing your job for you.

Nobody at Braums will wait on you and their white shirts are all tan to grey in color from not being washed in weeks.

Boomerang is too expensive for the average food and the kitchen staff is suspect.

Taco Mayo is too expensive. Yup ours is pricey.

Sonic is falling apart. The drive thru is broken/closed 3 times as much as working. The girl who takes orders has a horrible speech impediment and you can’t understand her over any of the speakers.

The two pizza joints blow.

Fortunately there’s some Mexican restaurants options that are still okay.

Neighboring communities aren’t any better.


Yeah they’re worth top dollar.

All honest work is honorable.

A lot of you are snobs.

Gripe about those not willing to work, make fun of those working the jobs that are “beneath you”.

Sad but true Bell is the worst
