Yes, they work hard, but many of them are f*ing idiot bigots who won&#39;t listen to a therapist who tells them what boundaries are, which is why they can&#39;t pull their heads out long enough to unionize.

This is why 80% of restaurants go under within 14 months. They&#39;re built on loans.

Prep is not paid work *anywhere.&#34;<br/><br/>What we need to be looking at is how we can have an educated society with people engaged in work they can stand, living in adequate housing and eating clean food sustainably.
