    Uhhh… looks at her age

    UHHHHHHHH

    The child looks about two but the fetus gestates for 9 months, this woman likely got pregnant at 14 and gave birth at 15, that rarely happens for consensual reasons, so I’m pretty horrified.

    I’m guessing they didn’t want to pay an agency worker more to cover her shift.

      No such thing as agency at fast food jobs here. You call out and your shift either works short or calls in someone else who is supposed to be off. Having 0 labor protections is amazing.

      The crowd clearly agrees with you on that, but many people are able to continue thinking even after they feel outrage.

        Who said I’m outraged? Don’t project, please. Also, implying I’m not thinking by disagreeing with the sentiment that this is heartwarming. Gtfoutta here with that bullshit take.

      This is literally what “black excellence” is, but calling it out makes you (internally) racist, a pick me for the nazis, or a black person who is white on the inside.

      This post is inspirational and any problem you have with it is racially motivated.

        Interesting point, but I think meme culture is also programming people to stop thinking the moment their outrage is triggered. There’s a group consensus that acknowledging any other factors besides the evil in a situation is a defense of that evil.

          Anything labeled as “black excellence” often has the person in an unhealthily overworked and vulnerable state, with the message being if this person can work at McDonald’s with a baby then all of your problems are non issues and you have no excuse to be suffering.

          The black community defends this abusive shit because they take pride in being “strong”. They’d overwork their children to near death for a high school diploma, and when the children have zero energy for anything else in their lives they’re so lazy. They are power hungry dictators as parents because they believe the trauma will make the children “strong”.

          If any other race did that it’s abusive, but when black people do it it’s “empowerment”. The mother takes pride in being a Strong Black Woman and the baby will 100% use this upbringing to flex on their peers for Having A Hard Childhood.

          Oh, right, I’m white on the inside. I should go back in my lane playing animal crossing and listening to Taylor Swift. There is no toxicity in the black community.

            I see. Thanks for explaining. I am not familiar with this concept as there really are not many black people where I live and also the whole work culture is quite different.

    it takes a village to raise a child…

    it takes a Corporation to exploit a family for their personal gain.

      but for many (and we know who) your misery cancels out THEIR misery.

      as long has YOU are suffering more than they…They win. which is why “Owning the Libs” is to them desirable. and a sufficient reason for self harming behavior.

      it is an insane point of view…but there you go.

    We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet in a technologically advanced civilization.

    Everyone needs to understand things are only still this absurd because we allow a small percentage of people to live better than any kings from the past ever lived off the backs of the rest of us. Hording the vast majority of our wealth.

    We absolutely have the means to prevent people from having to take their kids to fucking work with them but we choose to let billionaires do things like dismantle our government and destroy our international relations instead.

    I like that “it takes a village” means bringing your child to work, and not having the support to either have someone/some facility watch your child if you chose to work, or having actual paternity leave. Nor does it mean being paid enough that if you had to just not work, you and yours wouldn’t be in the street.

    How inspiring.
