    His job isn’t good enough, his employer, Burger King, treated him like shit for 27 years paying bottom of the barrel wages to the point where he couldn’t afford a down payment or mortgage on a house.

    It doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a house, anyone who works full time should be able to afford a house. It doesn’t have to be a big luxurious house, but they should be able to own a place big enough for themselves and their dependents a reasonable distance from work.

      I wonder why he stayed there for 27 years, instead of finding a better job. He obviously has a great work ethic.

        He may not have had a better choice which is why we need legislation that increases the minimum wage.
