This is why wealth inequality is outrageous

[Michael's Black Son]

Packing boxes is skilled?

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

He won’t have to work in a warehouse stacking boxes for $16 anymore if $15 is the new minimum. His options just widened and he can walk into another job with less stress in his body. He should be happy he’s about being taken advantage of anymore.

It's not going to work like that breh. When $15.00 becomes the minimum you are going to see hours cut and spread around in a way where people still aint making shyt. McDonald's will have folks working 20 hours instead of 32 or 35. Just watch.

Buddy called packing a truck

"skilled labor"


Also I read the same sentiment by coli dudes on here


Acting like they some major aristocratics with their lil 60k shytty job
Talking down on paying minimum wage workers at least $15

Parking a truck??? please clarify because the little pallet lift isnt a truck...

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

That’s being able to do the work
A skill is something hard to replicate any able bodied man can pack boxes
The work involved doesn’t matter because the company can churn through as many people as it wants to since they can find another person to do it and teach him in 30 minutes
There are manual labor jobs that involve skills but this isn’t one

Is or is not the logistics industry a trillion dollar business so to speak?

Also, you say it ain’t a skill... but could you go and dig a grave in your backyard in 5 hours?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

It’s a skill if you can’t do it under certain circumstances

This logic


That would apply to anything
Relative to the people performing it

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

UPS drivers make 30 an hour in Alabama.... is delivery a skill?

no its not a skill

And any driver talking down on a fast food worker deserving more money is a clown

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Parking a truck??? please clarify because the little pallet lift isnt a truck...

Parking?


Also wtf is your point?
Regardless if it's a truck or a pallet
shyt is not a fukking skill


Please don't tell me u got the nerve to think minimum wage workers don't deserve more pay

Please don't

Cause if u do just cause u work for fukking Amazon u a whole piece of fukking shyt

Hence why those that can perform under those circumstances should fight for a check..... you still in college or some shyt?

 

[RARI_Godwind]

Simultaneously believe hard work and skilled labor are correlated with compensation when millionaires and billionaires exist brehs.

You’re only 30 years away from touching an M fam, keep grinding.

You might even see a B in 30,000 years if you maintain a strong alkaline diet and work hard enough

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

no its not a skill

If it’s not a skill... then why does UPS pay that much.... ? I got a young homie making 32......

 

[sfgiants]

The billionaire isn't "raping" anyone. It's a job. One that he and everyone else who works there voluntarily chose. No one is holding a gun to his head to work there for $16 an hour.

I'm willing to bet 98% of people in this thread shop at Amazon regularly. Enlarging Jeffs pockets but complaining about his business.

I need communists of the coli to come up with a new angle. This ain't it.

right on cue someone for billionaires


The “nobody is holding a gun to his head” angle is idiotic for obvious reasons, but I’m sure you’ll find a way to justify the readily available and documented hellish working conditions and lack of breaks, benefits and whatever else you will defend a billionaire from withholding from their employees because “nobody is forcing them”

you dumb fukkin idiot. No offense

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Never worked flipping burgers in my youth, but did alot of factory work, warehouse jobs and assembly line shyt.
That is very much unskilled labor
I would assume that flipping burgers is harder actually because of the speed at breakfsat and lunch times at fast food joints.

That much?
That's fukking sad​

U don't even know what point u trying to make

 

[Reno89]

Y'all do realize that the reason why a lot of these billionaires are as rich as they are as because we can't control our spending?

Let's say the minimum wage goes to $30 per hour. I can guarantee you won't be able to find a one-bedroom apartment 4 under 2500 - 3000. People are just going to be spending more.
