@OddTodd32@Bolt_You (2/2) as much as it would be nice to "pay everyone more" its just not how it works. especially in an affordability crisis thats already horrific. i do think the minimum wage should be $15-20 depending on state though.
@OddTodd32@Bolt_You (1/2)just got my first job as a welder and i will be making $23.10 working about 50 hours a week, its not glorious but its my first job and not paycheck to paycheck, especially with OT. being a fry cook is not a permanent job or career, thats why the turnover rate is so high.
as a welder who just got my first job out of trade school this is such a truth nuke. the generation before boomers trained them and now boomers just kick the ladder. took me 5 interviews to get a foreman that was helpful on the weld test.
“For every eight guys who retire in this trade, only one guy picks it up. The whole industry is in danger.”
“Wow. Would you hire me? I’d love to learn it.”
“Absolutely not.”
@anondeguerre@Morpheus156 i dont idolize or even like the guy but from what i heard he legit had all his bank accounts frozen and had leftists trying to break into his home and kill him, i think id hate leftism if i was him too 😭
@NewJorkTimes the name John seems mundane but it means "man of God", Mark means "consecrated to Mars", Matthew means "gift of God", Joseph means "God shall add"
@Zaire3XVI@septimius_sev_ i literally just told you secular spaces have the exact same issues, if not an even larger one and you said "why would i be angry", do you hear yourself
@Zaire3XVI@septimius_sev_ you dont even understand the words im trying to say to you, so to argue with a fool would only make me one. ressentiment at its finest.
