SPORTS:
ALEX RODRIGUEZ STRIKES OUT ON HIS OWN CAREER....
"D" Speaks out....
How can you call yourself an athlete, if your using performance enhancing drugs?
That's a disrespect to all true athletes, if your talented let your natural abilities take over...
Why do you need to take performance enhancing drugs, thus giving you an edge? That is cheating in my book!!!!
Don't we teach our children to follow rules, play nice, and obey laws??!!! We teach them NOT TO CHEAT!!! (I did and still teach my grandchildren this)
Well, performance enhancing drugs do exactly what they say!!!
ENHANCES YOUR PERFORMANCE!!!!!
There is nothing "Talented" about that!!! Our children and grandchildren look up to these athletes, some of them have dreams and aspire to be like them, and this is what their teaching them??
Really, their needs to be serious consequences for athletes that take performance enhanced drugs!
None of this, three strikes YOUR OUT BULLCRAP!!! First time, warning, second time, "YOUR OUT!!!!" Tough Love!!! ❤
GAME OVER!!!
Drugs are bad!!!
Disgusted!!!!!

"D" NEWS: Where's the beef....

Where's the beef? Fast food workers in walkout to protest low wages....

"D" speaks out....
Sounds like a plan, but in reality, you have to be logical and weigh the facts. How much do you think your burger or fries would cost you, if the average worker was making $15. per hour?
The economy would be thrown into a tail spin...
I personally can sympathize with the workers, as I have also worked in fast food and the retail industry years ago!
But from a business standpoint, I cannot see paying $15. per hour, to a fast food worker, or any other retail employee...
For one, the cost of fast food would rise, making it unaffordable for people to eat out, and those that can afford to, will choose higher class food establishments, compared to fast food at comparable prices!
Here's a perfect example, I can go to Applebee's
for 2 for $20. and get better food choices, and a nicer atmosphere.
Fast food is fast food, you get what you pay for....
Now, no disrespect, if your going to make $15. per hour to work @ McDonalds or Burger-king, when myself, and others went to school and earned a degree or certification, then why bother, we can all just work at McDonald's or Burger King!!!
However, there are geographic areas that have a higher cost of living, and in such cases, each state should make moderate adjustments in their minimum wage.
Thus giving the average employee the equal opportunity to be able to survive in an ever struggling economy. Balance is what we should be striving for...
Sometimes relocation is necessary, if you cannot find satisfactory employment, to meet you financial needs.
The bottom line, some jobs are what they are, and when you take a job that starts off at minimum wage, such as McDonald's or Burger King, or any retail establishment, you can always try to work your way up, and advance to managerial positions.
This is sure to increase your pay! Otherwise, don't expect too much....
So, unless the minimum wage was increased across the board, making it a FEDERAL WAGE INCREASE, then I see this as an imbalance causing a bigger problem, in an already strained economy...
In my opinion, if the fast food job or retail industry is not for you, It would be best to use that job as a stepping stone, to get you to where you need to be...
Now, with that being said...I find it ironic, after all the minutia with the above article and the assistance
of local community groups, clergy and unions, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), that backed the strike.
"AND NOW"
I find it interesting...
Obama unveils new "Grand Bargain" and stated "We need to Raise Our Minimum Wage"
"As He Spoke On The Economy At The Amazon Fulfillment Center in Tennessee"
Imagine that!!!!
I personally feel we have needed a minimum wage increase for a long time...
However, the economic future of this country relies on a balanced structure, and it takes conjoined efforts by all parties to unite to uniformly work together to find that balance.
Therefore, the motto United We Stand, Divided We Fall holds true till this day and all the days to come...❤
I'm just saying...
