The pandemic exposed how horrible service industry is. Either pay people a better wage for the shitty jobs or revamp the economy through education. If all you can do is work for minimum wage at some shitty job. Look in the mirror. What do you see? There is your problem. |

User ID: 78179117 Canada 05/11/2021 07:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If these multi-billion dollar companies paid people a living wage instead of chicken shit more people would go to work. $15 is not even enough to get by in most places. Min wage should be $25 at least. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77408599 You idiots will never, ever learn. WAGE IS NOT THE ISSUE. BUYING POWER IS THE ISSUE. If a barely employable moron (check the mirror) is getting paid $25/hr to shovel a ditch, a loaf of bread will cost $11.99, a pint of milk 17.60, and your RENT on a loft apartment before utilities will be 8700/mo. These are simple facts - and at that point the minimum wage flunkies will have already destroyed the middle class and the "big corps" you talk about are STILL laughing all the way to the bank, but now with even MORE power and LESS opposition, because now you've made EVERYONE a wage slave, and there is no longer such a thing as upward mobility for 98% of the population. Suck it up and do what EVERYONE ELSE has had to do unless that silver spoon lives in their ass - get a frikkin' job and work your way up. Support YOURSELF so that others aren't paying for you to play video games because "I don't like the work I'm being offered, I'm worth WAY MORE." Well, if you're worth so much more, go get PAID that. Otherwise, you obviously have the skillset of a burger flipper. A burger flipper's not work $25/hr, and 15 is pushing it. Sorry if you have a hard time with FACTS, but how about this - you go explain to a highly trained person who's invested time and money in their future why someone trained to say "would you like cheese on that" should make as much, or nearly as much, as they do? The lazy stay at the bottom for a reason. You want to know why everything costs so much? Well, aside from BigCorp screwing us all, the tax revenue needed to support millions of lazy fucks is WAY up on that list. If you can survive on the dole, you're going to make MORE in the workforce - but then you'll need to get off your ass. See how that works? It's not about "I can't live on that - you're doing it NOW. It's about "I don't WANT to do that." Well, I don't want to support lazy asshats. Interesting how that works, innit? ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary. Usually best described by, “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” |

Work every holiday for slave wages. Then do like Bezos did - shovel shit and do whatever you need to to get ahead. You want money like his? Build a business like his. And before you say something stupid about how you would never become a crook like that, don't even bother with the bullshit. I don't know how many times this needs to be repeated - burger flipping was never meant to be a career that makes people rich. It's an entry level job to get you started. So if you don't like the service industry? DON'T WORK IN IT. Just WORK. ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary.

Minimum wage in 1965 was $1.25 an hour. The silver value of five 1964 quarters is now about $22. Gas used to cost 25 cents a gallon. It still does, you just don't understand. And speaking of blackmail, any scheme that uses tax money, or threats of force like a minimum wage law, well, the word is more like extortion. But it's ok if it's something you like.

Boumers don't care, they got the best jobs best retirements golden parachute and best interest rate. Working past retirement age does not entitle you to shit except wasting life. Working for someone else makes you someone else's man. I didn't even need the unemployment. It was available to me legally and I am eligible and that is all that matters. Got my wife a check too. And my brother who is also on social security for a mental illness. I employed half the family to give them unemployment. Fuck the boumer bootlickers. Every man for himself. Trading the security of having a job for your freedom. Ha! Cogs in the wheel. Just happy little Cogs baby. |
