You have a great point.

100 million 6-figure jobs available for everyone to not be poor

While "100 million" was likely made up, there are 8.3 billion people on earth. Those 100 million jobs are enough for 1/83 of the population.

Unironicaly, I believe people do this to get ahead, and that is the only way people make it out.

"It's what the market will bare"

Burger Flippers Unionize, drive up wages

"They're making my burgers too expensive!!!"

Oh, do they also hit you with the "it's not meant to be a permanent full-time job, just for kids breaking into the work force for some pocket money" type shit? As if the supply of teenagers wanting to be exploited for pennies is infinite, while the lead is a 47-year-old who's been there for 12 years and gotten $5 in raises?

Yeah that's the talk show propaganda line. Designed to make the idiots feel good that they're better than the burger flippers.

We look at it and go, well who makes the money then the corporations? the CEO's? They say well they earned it, and we write them off as a lost cause.

At the same time they were probably arguing to pay the entry level less and by proxy setting themselves up to povery even as middle mangers.

Well the water is rising fast, but there's still ladder above me, go ahead and open the valve some more!

So he cleans the trash then?

They don't tell rich people who do unnecessary jobs to go do something productive instead.

Maybe they don’t agree the job is necessary.

If you're patroning the business, you are implicitly conceding the necessity.

I'll spot you there's a plethora of Bullshit Jobs, but they are far more likely to be bureaucratic policing or saturation marketing than retail food service.

Then why are they at McDonald's?

Ohh it's not necessary, it can be automated. Then a tablet can take the order/payment. then you don't need managers.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Unemployment. That's what our grandchildren will be left with. And maybe not cleaning if the design is done well enough.

If it is necessary, why are people working that job poor?

No person working a full time job should be poor. And a 20hr per week job should be able to comfortably split the median rent of a 2 bedroom apartment with another working adult and offer at least a basic lifestyle.

I don't give a fuck about judging if a job is necessary or not. If a buisness needs a job filled then they have to pay enough for people to live

Every shitty job is necessary to somebody to some degree or no one would pay for it.

It comes down to this. If you want something to be done by someone, but you also dont think people that do that thing that you want should be paid enough to live a decent life, then you are evil. Period.

thats the point
