Let's suppose what you are saying is true. A Burger King job is only for those people with fucked up lives, and provides no option for them to unfuck their lives. Even if they work there for 27 years, their lives will still be fucked.

Supposing all that is true, then why do we allow them to do business at all? If a company exists only through the exploitation of desperate, "fucked up" workers, without any expectation of them "un-fucking" their lives, why do we allow them to remain in business, competing with responsible companies that actively improve society and the economy?

If Burger King actually operates the way you imply, they should be ejected from the market, so that non-exploitative businesses are not forced to compete with them.
