You say, "no matter what happened to them in their lives, even if they are ex-convicts, can surely do better," and you're probably right, they can. But they're here now, doing what they NEED to do to survive, whatever the reason that got them into that position. That's why I admire them. They haven't been beaten, they're still fighting. Sometimes in life you simply need to reboot. Sometimes that means you'll end up at the bottom of the ladder. That's life, it's tough - but that's the way of things. I've been there.

Sometimes in life you simply need to reboot. Sometimes that means you’ll end up at the bottom of the ladder. That’s life, it’s tough – but that’s the way of things. I’ve been there.

I really doubt anyone loves working in a fast food restaurant though. You, my friend, are underpaid. Its not about the pay really, its more about, who the fuck wants to pick up trash?
