I have news for you, 20-something who wears a numbered shirt to work, you aren’t Rosa Parks. You’re not even Occupy Wall Street.
You’re rich, entitled, spoiled children who have a dispute with your boss.
But hey, spit on the country that brought you all the prosperity you enjoy and abuse. That’ll fix it.
Disgusting.
