Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job....
Particularly if that second job is McDonald's. Nothing wrong with that job, just not the best job I'd think a president could get.
With the price of McDonald’s these days, she may be just doing it for the employee discount.
Oh, that's probably why conservatives fear her. Not the legal background.
She doesn't just relate to millennials and younger, she's suffered like millennials and younger
She’s gen-x
Gen-x got fucked over big time in a way we millenials didn’t, but only because the expectation for them was so much higher. They got almost the same raw deal we did without the previous generation to buffer them.
They shouted and raised the alarm bells about what was being done to millenials and younger.
Lots of gen x slipped right in with the boomers and have their life, but many many more are out here struggling with us millennials except they didn’t grow up in a world where it was apparent it was slipping from them.
Gen-xers are gonna be huge for us honestly.
Younger gen-x here. You nailed it.
My parents and my girlfriend's parents were both gen x. Mine bought a house in the 90s and lived the middle class dream. Nothing fancy but regular camping trips and occasional vacations. Girlfriend's got destroyed by the 08 crash and grew up in borderline poverty. We are in vastly different places financially and it's pretty fucked.
She jokes that I tell my parents "mummy look, I've adopted a poor" in an English accent.
The worst part is my mom recently told me to invest in real estate because it only goes up. I'm like "yeah because old fucks like you hoard it and reduce the supply so nobody my age can afford one." Love them but damn they're boomer brained sometimes.
Contrary to trump, she actually worked in her life.
Now she's making a hamberder out of Trump.
Yikes. I wouldn't even feed that to pigs.
But Mr. Wu would feed trump to his pigs.
Swearengen! Cocksucker!
Times are hard when you have to work two jobs by running the country and flipping burgers.
Everybody got a side hustle these days I guess
TIL. Those who have worked in the food industry, will always have way more respect for somebody else who has worked in the food industry.
That shit is hard. I wonder if she had that moment many in that industry have had crying in the cooler.
As an non-american that seems very patriotic.
Wait, the MacDonald's? The one I saw featured prominently in 1988's Mac and Me? Radical!
No, you're thinking of McDowell's from 1988's Coming to America.
Aw, that's not fair to presidents elected prior to 1955 that never had the chance to work at McDonalds.
George Washington would have made a fine Big Mac.
Glad to see a colleague in the Oval Office
People go there to get down with the rock music.
If she were from the east coast, we could have a "from White Castle to White House" slogan.
Makes it sound like a downgrade tbh
I've spent my entire life on the east coast and, to my knowledge, never been anywhere near a White Castle restaurant.
Though I would love to go to one. The frozen sandwiches are fantastic by my low standards.
Why can't she go to the white house? Why would a president need to work out of a mcdonalds? ...
The American dream, it's still alive. From dishes cleaner to president. /s
"oh yeah, well i played at a McDonald's commercial!"
— some old weirdo, probably
A president will work at McDonald's? Cool!
They really are just like us, come look, she even worked at mcdonalds.
