It's not a narrative that people don't want to work and be on gov't assistance. Plenty of people would rather be on gov't assistance than work. That is a fact. If you don't want to work for 12/hr. than sharpen your job skills. It's pretty simple. And I don't want to hear a damn thing when people have to pay $50 for a fast food meal because employers are paying their hamburger flippers $25/hr. It's economics plain and simple! Far too many people think if CEO's didn't make so much money that all of the sudden then employees could make so much more money...........it doesn't work like that at all.
Exactly- he's spouting bullshit about people have to change with the times when you can make money from home instead of manual labor!! Such a load of ****- I mean that people that can make money from home- good for them- however the world still needs mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, etc. When young people turn down other types of employment because they want to be lazy and make money from home or doing something easy is when I get pissed off. They think they are "entitled" to make easy money instead of working for it! Some as every damn college athlete these days- they all think they are going pro and are going to make big $$$. The fact is 99% of them will ever play professional sports but they feel they are entitled to being paid now!!
You obviously missed the fucking point of what I was saying. People worked for 12/hr because the economy was so fucked thats all they could get even with their master degrees. You obviously have zero clue how business works. Price doesn’t increase because you pay worker’s more, price increases because of supply increase.
Perfect example, I worked for Delta Airlines for 10+ years. When I started we topped out at $22 and hr. Now it’s $34 and hr. Flights prices have actually dropped in the last 10 years. Please explain how paying us more (every hourly employee for the company saw wage increases)
As far as college athletes are concerned, again its an old skool way of thinking that has to stop. These kids make the university millions, MILLIONS, and can’t even make money off their OWN life. They can sell a jersey and make millions off it, but if I sign a jersey and accept $20 dollars so I can F’ing EAT then I forfeit my ability to play? If you think thats fair, then whateva man. Kids nor their parents ever said pay me to play. They said I should be able to make money off my name, while im playing. Some of these kids go to school for 4 years, struggle to feed themselves, blow a knee out, and have nothing to show for it, yet the school make untold amounts of money off them. Thats never going to be okay for me.
NO BUSINESS, CORPORATIONS, GOVERNMENT, OR SCHOOL SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE INSANE AMOUNTS OF MONEY OFF A PERSONS LIKENESS WHILE THE PERSON THEMSELVES CAN NOTHING!!!!
You can scream bullshit all you want to but it doesn’t chance reality. Of course the world still needs tradesmen, NOWHERE did I say we didn’t. But if I can make 100k from home, working for myself, instead of going to work for 8hrs a day making someone else 100k, you best fucking believe im doing it. Its not lazy. I work just as hard now, as I did when I took mechanic work, welding work, hvac contacts and etc. Difference is I get to be at home, spending time with my family, and making more money in 6 hours than I did working 14+ hr days. Anyone can do it and people should have that option. As
@BigT said, shid has been f’d for a long time in regards to student loans, and the govt f’ing people on those student loans.
People have been turning down jobs for decades. Get pissed as you want, but fact of the matter is, there ARE easier ways to make money now. Where I will agree with you and
@BigT is, no one should be turning down work when you have no job to begin with. That’s just plain stupid. Any money is better than no money.
