Strange but true

I am currently looking for work, and as I attempt to land with a good company, I cant help but notice the inequalities in pay between some profesions.
For instance an armed security guard is making $10 an hour but a barista.(overhyped coffee maker can make up to $15)

It just makes me wonder were our priorities are:

If your Barista has a bad day well you get bad coffee, but if your armed security guard has a bad day you get dead.
I would think that people would want more qualified people to carry weapons,or at least be more concerned with the mental and social well beign of those who carry weapons.
I would think you want to make the guy with the gun as happy as possible?
Or why would you temp fate and have a guy on the poverty line just strugling to get by bearly making it.
Just think about it if you made $10 an hour could you survive, can you live a happy
healthy life?
His dating life allready hampered by the fact that he is a security guard is probably not helped by the low income. So now what you have is an underpaid, undersexed, lonely guy with a loaded gun and a badge (granted fake plastic badge) or what I call a recepie for disaster.

But we dont care ...
I guess we just keep playing russian roulette until one day we push to far and our under paid overstressed security guard puts a cap in our ass.
Than I bet you wished we had payed the lonely guard a little more.

In the mean time why dont you just have some coffee and relax..
In a world that is getting stranger by the day..
