      Well, the returns could be higher but I like to sleep at night

    Younger people all over the world get paid less. Mini-Jobs and working unpaid overtime is becomming the norm. So poverty is really the driving force behind Second hand.

      @Garrison R even if someone is working at McDonald’s that person should be able to live of the salary they get.

      @Salentino Why? Why make someone with no skill comfortable? If they want to live a comfortable live, they should get more skills. When robots take over chains like Mcdonalds, they’ll have no leverage at all because they had no skill.
