The quote is even worse than TC is implying

"If you had to work more than one job to have a roof over your head or food on the table, you probably shouldn't have taken the job that's not paying you enough. That'd be a you problem"

He's taking like jobs are fucking buffet choice. Tens of millions of people literally have no choice, it's a shit job(s) or no food on the table at all.

And no table to boot

Guys like him think we all have the same, equal opportunities. They can't comprehend anything that fights that viewpoint since it would mean they have to acknowledge that maybe they had advantages for certain aspects of their life.

No I just mean that I assumed his logic was going to be "You should have gotten an education that would get you a good job, not gone to Mcdonalds!" rhetoric.

Not "You shouldn't have accepted a job that doesn't pay enough"

Like guys in downtown Detroit are offered part-time mim wage warehouse work or $150,000 a month to make public speeches and went "Hey... I ike warehouses."

The sad thing is, its boomer logic..(Just pay back your loan/get a part time job to pay for college/etc!), and these younger people have such little life experience that they just parrot it...

This is why conservatives have made no inroads with young people and why conservative politicians and parties are probably gonna be in some trouble in the coming years

When you consistently hear from a group of people "you're not working hard enough and everything is your fault" when you're saddled with student loan debt and working two jobs, that's bound to breed some animosity

Well this is why the rich get richer, people in lower positions keep lowering their bar.

People constantly take on jobs that don't pay them enough, hell immigrants accelerated this problem by doing jobs at a much lower pay than it's worth and everyone else gets punished because of it. People love to bitch how "McDonald's employees don't deserve to make 15 dollars an hour." but that's not the question you need to be asking. Chances are that your well stable 40 dollars an hour job is actually worth about 65-70 dollars an hour. Think about that.

Its as it always has been with his fans.

Instead of branching out and listening to people worth listening to they instead stumble onto Ben and go hey, ya I think that way too and then fall in love with the guy.

Hes the poor persons philosopher so it makes sense his fans think hes deep and insightful, they have little to nothing to compare it to (by choice).

Goes both ways, if youre a project manager whos main skill is delegation odds are youre 60+k job is really worth about 30k.

Yeah seriously f them.

I mean, I'll acknowledge that some poor people are just lazy, but many many more had bad luck, weren't born with many advantages, or made some bad choices (and I'm not talking drugs necessarily, it could be something as innocent as major choice) that they can't recover from...

That's the fucked up thing about it.."I DID IT SO YOU CAN!"....No man, not everyone's situation is the same. The way we have things set up now makes it difficult unless you are already at some sort of advantage...Yes, some people are able to come from nothing but they are for more the exception than anything. These people working 2 or 3 jobs to support themselves or a family can't "EASILY" just go to to school and get a high paying job....and that doesn't even factor in that a high paying job doesn't just magically appear right after you graduate....But you know what does? Student loan debt and interest, rent payments, every other bill....To basically sit there and say "Ummm, hey idiot, just go get a job that pays more so you don't have to work 2, DUH!" shows a complete lack of understanding about how literally anything works...

He's right though. If you need two jobs to support your wife and multiple children all while covering rent, that's your fault. You and your wife should've learned to manage money BEFORE having kids. Imagine if you were single and working only one job. not to mention the debt a lot of people have (student loans, car loans, Amazon purchases, etc).

Who has it worse?

Don't get married and don't reproduce.
