Pissed my boomer folks off good when I told them that working at McDonalds pays more - and better than what some private contractors do for laborers, and they just sass me about "growing in my industry"

Yeah I'd love to but I ain't standing out in the sun for $18 an hour for 10 hours in the fucking hot ass sun, when I could just get a security guard gig and sit on my ass for eight hours and get paid $17.
