> The real distortion is when you started having adults working in McDonalds. It was never a job to support a family - it was a minimum-wage job for kids

Nonsense: Fast-food chains never had a business model of closing during school hours! They remain open, and that shows each role has always required some adult employees with adult budgetary needs.

One can argue minimum-wage jobs are only for kids in school, or one can argue that a regular-businesses-hours company can have min-wage positions, but both together is incoherent.

Indeed, in what universe were all these store front businesses open only from 4pm-9pm when high schoolers were available.
