People assign subjective value to certain jobs claiming said jobs (top of the mind are service industry jobs) hold less “value” than, let’s say, a corporate email job making shareholders millions, and therefore do not deserve a wage that covers basic living.
What is funny about this make believe value system, however, is that the very people who claim their barista or grocery stocker are low value and as such do not deserve a decent living, would have a meltdown if they couldn’t stop and have someone else hand them their latte every morning, and if they went to the grocery store and every shelf was bare.
Merely because these jobs do not require higher education doesn’t make them of low value, they hold value in a different way, but the people who would have you believe they are low value and low importance say so because if they put their barista and grocery stocker in a similar value bracket to them, they wouldn’t feel as superior or special. And their ego driven superiority complex that they go to work every day at a make believe email job making corporate shareholders pockets fatter is from where they derive their entire sense of self worth.
It’s kind of ironic how Bad Bunny was dancing on an electrical post at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Puerto Rico isn’t exactly known for having reliable electricity.
He could have highlighted the electrical grid crisis in PR and done some good with his platform, but he chose degeneracy!
Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!
NEW: A farmer says President Trump is reviving the spirit of Christmas for families across rural America:
"I was reading my little boy a story...he said 'Daddy? I don't want Santa Claus to come to our house for Christmas, I want President Trump.'"
"I think you brought Christmas to farmers."
The vibe on my TL is absolutely pristine right now. No empathy for someone who loudly proclaimed that he “can’t stand the word” and stated that gun deaths are “worth it”.
