what was the point of this thread

Yes.

Everybody can't be a billionaire, millionaire, six figurer, etc.

There's always gonna be ppl who will remain poor/low-minimum wage territory for most of their life until it's time to go (if you know what I mean) not necessarily because of their own faults but sometimes it's outta their control, why? I can't tell you, that's just life itself.

This sounds like something trump would say

except many people who are making min wage now are ones on the front lines, the cleaners at the hospitals, the gas station attendants, the stocker at walmart, cashier at your local grocery store

I would not exactly use that term lazy, if they all said nah and decided not to go into work day lets see how things would be breh.

Many people who work min wage jobs work harder than the average office schmuck who works for like a hour out of the 8

I didn't say or mean that all minimum wage workers are lazy. That's far from true.

I only meant that there exist people who don't care to acquire the skills to advance past minimum wage jobs, even if they're capable of doing it. I know people who work minimum wage who easily are more than capable of going to a cheap community college for a couple years and making more money.

Some are much smarter, and work harder at their minimum wage jobs than my friends who went to college and got higher paying office jobs.

I didn't make any moral judgement or any judgement on minimum wage workers' value to society. They are very important and hard working like you said.

Reminds me of a carlin bit, the rich people have all the money and pay no taxes, the middle class does the work and pays most of the taxes, and the poor are there just to scare the shyt out of the middle class.

That’s what I’m saying. I know so many CACs who are stupid as hell with high paying jobs. Mainly because of nepotism. But then I know brehs and brehettes who are ten times smarter and could do better than their current situation... but choose not to because they have no drive or aspiration.

shyt is annoying as fukk. I see so much wasted potential everyday.

But if the system needs people to be making minimum wage jobs what does it matter?

Suppose everyone in America had around the same level of "motivation" and possesed a baseline college-level education, complete with comparable skills. There'd still be a need for a working class who makes severely less than those who can make a average to decent living, and the few who can make an extravagant amount.

 

[duncanthetall]

No... it really doesn’t.

Minimum wage hasn’t increased since 2009. Cost of living has steadily increased since then. That’s a problem. For someone claiming to be so smart and savvy, why are you being retarded?

Me too. I don't even know if "lazy" is the right term, since like @Lord Scarf said a lot of minimum wage people work really hard at their jobs. Maybe "intellectually lazy" is the right term? Even that sounds a little harsh.

Some I understand it's tough for them to just go to community college because they have to look after family etc.

But the people I'm talking about are like one of my brother's friends. Dude comes from a legitimately rich family and is not stupid. Stepdad owns a home builder company, loving family and low stress environment, bought him a nice car for his 16th, his parents would throw him big ass half-birthday parties

Yet for some reason, dude is 28 years old, lives at home and working minimum wage even tho I'm pretty sure his parents easily would've paid for his college or community college if he wanted it. I know more than 1 person in a similar situation. They have a good home, parents willing to help them out, but they just don't have drive
