But seriously though, this episode was really cute and fun and I think it had a nice message.

In a way, Ruby and Sapphire are kinda like childhood sweethearts who’ve been together so long that when something rattles their relationship they don’t quite know who they are outside the context of the relationship. They may or may not get back together, but they certainly benefit from exploring themselves alone so they can feel more confident in themselves.

I really love Ruby’s decision to reconceptualize their relationship to be really purely theirs whereas before they hung so much of it on Rose. Now it’ll be theirs alone and stronger for it. Love that.

I love that Greg is a great listener and great at helping people through tough times. He’s a sweet and supportive guy and knows when people just need time and space to work stuff out. A+ dude.

Also, I love how much Amethyst committed to the role of being a majestic horse.

It’s an extremely popular opinion among middle and upper class white people.

Also, aside from this completely uneducated reasoning as to why minimum wage was created…

I can guarantee that there are tens of thousands of teenagers who have to pay bills and help support their families or are the only financial supporter to their family.

Not to mention, if these businesses are only being run by teenagers, then they wouldn’t be able to function or run during school hours. 

From now on, all McDonalds can only operate between 4:30pm-10pm on weekdays.

Someone already shared this on Facebook, and sorry, but I have to disagree. At least partially.

Here in Missouri, minimum wage is definitely enough to get by on. I’ve been surviving on a part time minimum wage job for almost two months.

Now - I’m in an apartment with a few other guys, so rent/utilities are split up between us, and even though Missouri’s price of living is dirt cheap - it leaves me very little spending money. But regardless, we shouldn’t be saying it’s impossible “anywhere in the US” when it’s plenty possible to live off of minimum wage in at least one place.

Easy? No. But possible.

With multiple roommates. So you arent actually covering the rent with your minimum wage job. Its taking multiple people in one house to do so. Thats the point.

Minimum wage was supposed to allow you to afford a house and take care of your entire family. Not live in an overcrowded apartment splitting rent with multiple earners.

also, please  keep in mind that when they say “doesn’t cover rent,” what they actually mean is that rent is unaffordable on that wage, which is a slightly different thing. If you make $750 a month and your rent is $725 a month, you can technically “cover” rent, but what the fuck are you going to eat? Pay for gas? Transit? Clothes? Medicine? Bills? Buy the thousand and one other consumer goods that desperately need to be bought to keep our economy going?

You said yourself that even with multiple roommates and “dirt cheap” rent, you have “very little spending money.”  Rent is not supposed to cost more than 1/3 of income. Because you need to rest to live on.

I find it ridiculous that we still use “Horsepower” as a unit of measurement in this day and age. It means nothing to me. I have no idea of how much power a horse has and I’m frankly terrified to even contemplate it.
