    What we really need to do is become a European-style cradle-to-grave welfare state as soon as possible.
    We may need to "cancel" some uncooperative types first.

    Really? How much skill does it take to work a cash register? How much skill does it take to pluck chickens in a processing plant? How much skill does it take to pick strawberries? The l;ist of unskilled jobs is long. So it begs the question, WHO IS BEING FORCED TO WORK A JOB THAT REQUIRES NO SKILL?

    I know you Marxist driven leftists can't answer that question without blowing up your moronic lie filled claims.

    The market is the rightful "decider" of what is fair pay. Not some faceless bureaucrat in Washington DC trying to buy the votes of morons who think they are entitled to something for nothing.

    You want a higher paying job, get a college degree or learn a skill that is in high demand and requires training.

    I am amused that you think it takes a high level of skill to operate a cash register. I am quite sure that Wolverine would learn the job in a very short time and find it repetitive and boring, as do most who do that job.

    Is the topic Wolverine?

    I worked in an Amazon warehouse briefly in 2019. I was demeaned if I dared to take more than a couple of minutes in the bathroom. People got fired or let go at the drop of a hat. There was no kind of safety protocol in place, and because you had to maintain rate all day, guys would constantly sabotage each other.

    It just wasn't worth $14/hr.

    Because it's often the highest-paying job one can find at the time. I've been there and it sucks. Your inability to consider the circumstances of those less privileged than yourself doesn't mean that the less privileged don't exist.

    Translation:



    The funny thing about your type is that, while you espouse a rich man's philosophy, you live a working man's life. You believe that the stockholder is justified in living off of the dividends created by the working Joe who can barely afford to get by.

    Taking from those who earn it and giving it to those who do not earn it isn't "socialism." It's called capitalism and you've been so brainwashed by the right that you willingly degrade yourself so that the wealthy can maintain their status quo.

    Consider this fact about "unskilled labor." The most valuable commodity any person has is time. Someone who has to spend twelve hours a day, six days a week "picking strawberries" for fifty years is sacrificing their entire existence so some soft-handed rich fucker can continue relaxing.

    Once again, it's time to confirm our commitment to becoming a European-style cradle-to-grave welfare state as soon as possible.

    Again, no one is compelling anyone to work for less than they are worth. There is nothing preventing anyone from looking for a better job. The ONLY limitations to making more money are educational, and skill level. Don't blame the system for your lack of skills or laziness.

    So I would ask again, what nation ever spent it's way into prosperity?

    What privilege did I have? I worked my ass off to get what I have. I started out in warehouses, then as a machinist and then finally put myself through college and graduated with honors.

    No one handed me shit asshole. The only "less" privilege dumbasses like you have is called an IQ. Idiots like you think you are entitled to something you didn't earn and if you don't get it, you blame others and race hustle.

    The only people that are "less privileged" are lazy, uneducated assholes like you who don't think you need a degree or job skill.
