I would never point out a similarity between you and FS. Not to your face, anyway.

One for the category of THEM: People who get in tizzy about raising minimum wage to semi-livable levels.

Yes, there are factors to consider in what it should be, to be of the greatest benefit to us all, but THEM are them who say right out, or say discreetly, that their problem with it is that the prices they pay for things might rise and mostly... that it might interfere with their precious bull market. Gawd forbid someone should be able raise their kids a bit better, or get themselves a nice vacation, but the bull market suffers.

This also plays into inlightened self-interest. People on the dole are not the only ones who might be interested in revolution, or who pose some danger to the uppers.

Revolution step one: All fast workers go on strike for a week and see how the country holds up.
