 This isn't an unpopular opinion, it's a
 complete misunderstanding of why a
 minimum wage was created.

welcometonegrotown:
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 minimum wage was meant solely for high school students how would the business survive when students are in school??  are they only supposed to be open on the weekend? this “unpopular opinion” makes no sense. 


Unpopular fact: in the 70s a minimum wage worker could pay for college with a summer job. 
Unpopular fact: minimum wage was conceived to be the minimum amount of money a person would need to support themselves and their families when working 40 hours per week.
Unpopular fact: minimum wage was created because working men and women in this nation fought–figuratively in the negotiating room and literally in the streets–for a fair working wage, with sweat and blood and tears and death. 
Unpopular fact: military service personnel are not the only people who have fought and died for your rights as American: labor leaders and common workers laid down their lives so that you could have a 40 hour work week instead of 80 hours; so you could have a 2 day weekend instead of none; so you could have lunch and bathroom breaks instead of going hungry and shitting your pants,; so you could have a three day weekend in September.
Capitalism would NEVER dole out basic human decency without literal human sacrifice.

 This isn't an unpopular opinion, it's a
 complete misunderstanding of why a
 minimum wage was created.

 Unpopular opinion: Minimum wage jobs aren't meant for people who pay rent, they're
 for high schoolers and such. If you wanna make enough money to pay rent get a big

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 minimum wage was meant solely for high school students how would the business survive when students are in school??  are they only supposed to be open on the weekend? this “unpopular opinion” makes no sense. 


Unpopular fact: in the 70s a minimum wage worker could pay for college with a summer job. 
Unpopular fact: minimum wage was conceived to be the minimum amount of money a person would need to support themselves and their families when working 40 hours per week.
Unpopular fact: minimum wage was created because working men and women in this nation fought–figuratively in the negotiating room and literally in the streets–for a fair working wage, with sweat and blood and tears and death. 
Unpopular fact: military service personnel are not the only people who have fought and died for your rights as American: labor leaders and common workers laid down their lives so that you could have a 40 hour work week instead of 80 hours; so you could have a 2 day weekend instead of none; so you could have lunch and bathroom breaks instead of going hungry and shitting your pants,; so you could have a three day weekend in September.
Capitalism would NEVER dole out basic human decency without literal human sacrifice.

 Seeing John Mulaney do his 'Robot Test bit
 has given me a strong desire to see him play
 a live action Riddler.
 But not like, as any character other than John
 Mulaney? Like, let's make a John Mulaney
 version of Edward Nigma. Just this socially
 awkward disaster man who somehow
 becomes a supervillain because of a
 misunderstanding he couldn't correct without
 seeming rude. And now supposedly he's
 committed to killing Batman but he doesn't
 actually want to be the cause of a mans
 death so he just obfuscates things with 'clues'
 and 'riddles' and 'battles of wits' until Batman
 inevitably defeats him and he's just like 'oh
 thank god please don't hit me
 Batman's like 'you need help Nigma' and he's
 just like 'yeah that's fair, I should probably look
 into seeing somebody at this point, I became
 a supervillain because of social anxiety and
 that might just be a red flag you know?"

     misunderstanding: Pit Bulls are often seen as
 dangerous and violent,But
 this IS a serious
 misunderstanding of the breed
 And here s afew.cxamples why
 1.When his owner was
 threatened with a knife
 duringa dispute,Cheko
 dived in tront of herto
 protect her.Here he is shown recovering
 from being stabbed 13 times
 Four intruders, one armed with a
 shotgun broke into a family home
 where the father was threatened to
 open the family safe, when the dad of
 3 didn't comply the indruder got
 ready to open fire where Lefty the pit
 bull jumped at him blocking the shot
 from his daddy and got a bullet wound
 to his shoulder. The intruder was injured
 by the dog and they all quickly fled from
 the scene
 Baby, a 10 year old pit bull woke up her
 family in the middle of the night to alert
 them of a blazing fire that had broken
 out. Managing to avoid the vicious
 flames, one by one she woke up each
 family member and led them to safty
 After putting her humans out of
 danger, she then ran back into the
 burning house to save the family's
 other five dogs, one of which was blind
 and too scared to go with her so she
 pulled the dog out by the scruff of the
 neck. The home was completely
 distroyed but thanks to Baby, no-one
 had a single burn.
 Cara was walking her dog, Creature one
 night and couldn't help but notice he
 had a lot of interest in a certain bush.
 Shrugging it of as he's just seen a cat,
 Creature carried on to pull and bark to
 alert his owner that something wasn't
 quite right. Cara finally went with her
 companions instinct and decided to
 check it out, where she found an
 elderly woman in her Pls on the
 ground, shivering from the cold. Who
 she found was Carmen Mitchell, 89
 suffers from Alzheimer's and had
 wandered from her home
 When Bella the pit bull mix was seen
 running into traffic and barking at
 pedestrians, she was thought to be just
 another stray. Teri was one of those
 pedestrians and decided the follow the
 mixed breed. Bella lead Teri to her
 home, where her wheelchair-bound
 owner was found on the floor with
 stab wounds in his neck while clinging
 to life. Her owner luckily survived and
 says that he owes his life to Bella for
 running to get help.
 I made this comp because the media only
 concentrates on the badly-owned pit
 bulls then blame their breed for it for
 their actions. There's hundreds of stories
 about heroic pit bulls that saidly never
 make it to mainstream media as people
 seem to love an outrage
 I have a pit bull who i took from a dog
 fighter when he was a puppy, even
 though he's been 'bred to fight' i've
 raised him right and in the 11 years of
 having him he's never hurt anyone and
 has given me nothing but happiness (and
 maybe a couple of chewed up shoes)
 Thanks for reading guys, i hope
 the world is a little more open-
 minded on this misunderstood
 yet lovable breed

     misunderstanding: sarah maclean

 Reminder that this is a question you
 should be answering on the regular
 while writing romance

File this under “super obvious yet I always seem to forget it.”
I don’t write romance (I totally respect people who do, though!) but this is also great writing advice in general! What is preventing the protagonist from achieving their goal? 
Why can’t these two people be together now?
Why can’t the mystery be solved now?
Why can’t they overthrow the evil overlord now?
If you don’t have a solid answer for these questions, that’s a good indicator that the plot could use some more work. 

Also test your answer a little bit. If it’s as thin as they’re just refusing to sit down and have a simple conversation, you might want to re-think how things are going.

As a beta reader/editor, I tend to ask this question a lot: “Why are they doing it this way when there’s a much easier path available?” That’s not to say that they should take the easier path, because that would usually be boring. Instead, the point is that the question needs an answer–either eliminate the easier path or give them a very clear reason for not taking it. (And if I’m asking the question, that reason isn’t as clear as you think it might be.)
I find it very difficult to root for characters who have a sensible option available and just don’t take it. If the only reason is “Because there wouldn’t be a story otherwise,” you haven’t actually found the story yet.

And this is why the Big Misunderstanding as a primary plot device is almost universally disliked.
