So long as profit prevails over decent wages and lazy-ass Americans refuse to do the "dirty jobs", there has to be a steady stream of SOMEONE to clean toilets and pick strawberries.
Right along the lines of what I think as well. We've got cleaning people in our building too, and I talk to them about all sorts of shit (thank God I still speak Spanish well enough to converse). It's great to hear that people our age (and older) still have aspirations, because it's rare to find that in the average, everyday American. No one wants to scrub toilets, especially since there's a ton of people who don't even know *how* to clean a toilet.
This is why I should not listen to NPR. I hate fair and balanced asshattery. :|
