@errictheviking@omgsidewalks You’re the one who made the bad faith argument that people are paid for the value of the labor they produce, which is fundamentally untrue. Don’t move the goal posts now!
@TheLanceManyon@omgsidewalks He is literally not saying people in “low skill” jobs should have a lot of disposable income, just that full time work should earn them food and shelter??
@errictheviking@omgsidewalks This is stupid, if people were paid for the value of the work they provide, that would mean workers had an equitable share in the means of production- which is Marxism.
Capitalism depends on paying people Pennies on each dollar of value they provide.
@tolerateshay In June I went for dinner with my partner at the restaurant we went to on our first date the last day before it closed forever, I knew he had the ring already- when it didn’t happen I cried openly at the nest for about an hour and when we got home… we got engaged in August lol
getting real sick of conservatives using leftist pro-worker talking points to promote their anti-worker-corporation-trickle-down-reaganomics ass policies
@Zone3Garden@JustinDart82 wages have not increased with the cost of living, there aren’t enough better paying jobs or available hours for this to be a real solution w corps replacing us with AI, the existing low paying jobs need to be done and the people who do them don’t deserve to be in poverty.
@DividendDaddy1@Miaoftheshire@JustinDart82 the measure of poverty has been purposefully manipulated by the ruling class because necessities used to cheap and luxuries used to be expensive- poor people had homes but not tvs, now everyone has a smartphone but cant afford food and housing. internet access ≠ wealth/stability
