Fuck this argument but packing boxes requires more skill than flipping burgers?
Skilled labor… lol
Packing boxes is not skilled labor. Yet even burger cooks should make a living wage.
I’ve had great burgers and terrible burgers, so it seems to me that making burgers is skilled labor.
PS Burger flipping is skilled labor. Also, watch The Menu
Right, be mad at someone for thinking that their job should pay their bills instead of the CEOs that hoard all the money.
I wouldn’t go around just broadcasting my complete lack of knowledge of the financial or business world like that, but that’s just me.
Where am I wrong? Genuinely curious.
During the golden age of American economy, corporate tax rates were sometimes as high as 90%. This resulted in corporations giving back to their employees or investing in research in order to further their products. This allowed for the basic worker to pay their bills working just one “menial” job. CEOs and head of corps made a lot of money, but the gap was much smaller between exec and grunt.
Now, because corporations pay little to no tax, the profit sharing goes straight to the execs and shareholders.
Shit anyone working for less than $20 packing boxes is getting scammed cause I know for a fact several places offer more than that. It just goes to show the importance of having a union to bargain for higher wages.
He should team up with the fry cook to cook Bezos than pack him in a box then have someone else in the exploited proletariat transport him somewhere remote maybe a trucker or a ride share driver.
So the sentiment in the reply is real.
The very notion that any job, be it blue collar or white collar, gets looked down upon is apart of the systemic “you’re not good enough” strategy to squeeze more blood out of stone. A ditch digger vs a fast food employee? It’s come to a point where you’re not supposed to take pride in your work, but strive to become deeper engrained in the system, where success is assured - like a moth to a flame.
People need to get their priorities straight regarding safeguarding their best interests, and it’s not about turning against your neighbour. The idea is lunacy and disempowers everybody but those who profit off it.
I think he is being sarcastic.
Judging from the skilled labor comment.
