Gen X is the first generation where we got paid minimum wage to
Do 12-15.00 an hour jobs, where cost of living went through the roof. Everything, gas, food, rent went up 4-5 times what our parents paid and that’s BULLSHIT. She is absolutely right BTW about McDonald’s and being basically a big real estate and products company. I can’t believe Kmart went away when that happened i knew brick and mortar stores were a thing of the past – MOST MALLS ARE CLOSED i can’t really believe that and that’s sad it shouldn’t be that way
