Alameda McDonald's Seals Employment Records Over Kammie Questions

Staff at a branch of McDonald's have been sworn to secrecy about whether
Kamala Harris ever worked there after Donald Trump accused her of lying.

Employees at the franchise in Alameda, California told The Telegraph they had
been instructed by bosses not to talk about the vice-president, after claims
that she invented her summer job to appear more authentic to voters.

Ms Harris has spoken repeatedly about her time at the restaurant, and says her
job there during her university degree in the 1980s inspired her to support
working families.

"Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald's is because
there are people who work at McDonald's in our country who are trying to raise
a family," she told MSNBC last month.

"I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our
perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility
then is to meet those needs."

--------------------------

(1) No one should be trying to raise a family on a McDonald's salary. Those
jobs were never meant to feed a family of four and send the kids to college.
Shaking the fry basket or squirting the guac bottle is not valuable enough
labor to justify paying the wages required to buy a house and support an
entire family.

(2) "Meeting those needs" in this context is not in any way, shape, or form
the job of government in the first place, let alone the federal government.

(3) What's Kammie hiding? She claims that Trump must be hiding something if he
won't release his medical records, so by the same standard, Kammie must be
hiding something if she won't release her employment records. Just like she
won't release any of the paperwork on the gun she claims to own. It's likely
that she made up both stories to score political points and hopes if she
stonewalls long enough people will forget about them and move on to other
things.
