Don't disparage the free trade of contract labor. Most people on this 
list probably still make their living off it, and probably most are 
relatively well off for it. Just because there are abuses, those are 
not the defining quality.

Most people that work at McDonald's are not trying to support a 
family of four and those that are and are serious about it, will work 
themselves to positions of management in relatively short order (that 
was a pun).
