This crap of ending unemployment because people don't want shitty jobs/shitty paying jobs
It's not much different than indentured servitude.

Take people with low prospects or desperate circumstance and basically blackmail or extort their labor.

Why not invest in reeducation toward new skills?

The pandemic exposed how horrible service industry is. Either pay people a better wage for the shitty jobs or revamp the economy through education.

Re-education has been tried and fails for the most part. Try to educate an out of work 50's something coal miner that was making 60K a year.

I used to feel sorry for these fucks, but no more.

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.

Jeff Bezos just bought a $500 million dollar boat.

Last year the U.S. added another 100 billionaires to its ranks.

But, fuck restaurant workers, grocery clerks or distribution warehouse workers. Work every holiday for slave wages.

If your crappy company can't pay a decent wage to employees and still provide a quality product or service and stay afloat - you lose the capitalism game.

Re: This crap of ending unemployment because people don't want shitty jobs/shitty paying jobs
all jobs are essential

but it is also true that not all jobs are going to be highly paid

personally I'd rather scrub toilets than take orders for junk food. (shrugs)

I'm sure some people would rather be the trash man than the real estate salesman.

and thats ok

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?

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.

I'm almost 40 years old

And supposedly I live in an industrial society

Yet there has never been a new factory built within a hundred miles of me

Only burnt out ruins of something that died before I was born

But it costs 300 k dollars to open a franchise juice bar, in a leased space one pays rent on

It sure feels like the delusion has finally caught up to us

Re: This crap of ending unemployment because people don't want shitty jobs/shitty paying jobs
I agree with OP in the sense that wages have not increased relative to the cost of shit these days but the shit the profiteers sell us increases at their leisure/over time and we just get stuck with an ever increasing bill. They are profiting more then ever and that's fine too but a cart of food used to be 40 bucks and today it can be an entire days work, or more for many people! I think they could pay people more these days no matter what the job is, except teachers. those fuckers get a platinum hand job on day 1 where I come from. Now all that being said, you still gotta and should want to, work your sphincter off to have things in life and as far as education, there is NO WAY people should pay 250k for school. Should be a matter of policy to educate freely as far as one can go and that includes trades of course, not some fucking business. it's not a hallmark of an organised society imo. It's about your people being dumb or not!!!

you need an education. 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.

And the people coming across the boder get a debit card which is auto refilled every month. And a US citizen is forbidden to get 300 for three more months. I personally cannot find a job. Any job. And I have applied to over 200 businesses in 6 months. I offer to do any work for any pay and they dont want me. Why you ask? Because I'm white and I'm 55 years old.
And those debit cards the crossers get are loaded with $3500.

I collected unemployment the whole time. They cut me off twice for fraud.

Legit claim.

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!

Minimum wage was NEVER intended for any one to live off of. Its a starter wage for fast food industry or apprentice type work.. If you want more than minimum wage get training.
