To be fair, the levels of traffic that would mandate having dedicated baggers really only occurs at hours that wouldn't be school hours either. --- It is more important to use your anonymity to upset other people than it is to do anything productive. <cite>Solid Sonic posted [p:956796742] in "Esse...

Blue_Dream87 08/05/21 9:16:35 AM #58:	I worked fast food ("essential worker") for 8 years before quitting, and there were like two weeks into the pandemic customers would express gratitude about us working. Owner didnt do shit until turnover became ridiculous and offered an extra $1 to everyone, which McDonald's/Wendy's/Jack in the Box were already doing. tbh there should've been a general strike, but at least in my area Ive seen places start to unionize because the pandemic woke people up to their conditions and their actual labor value --- Peace Love Dope <cite>Blue_Dream87 posted [p:956796812] in "Esse...

rexcrk 08/05/21 9:23:18 AM #60:	I love how people are like lol just get a better job, bro But you dont know everyones individual situation. Some people might not have time after work to dedicate to studying. Some people might not have the money to get a better education. There might not be better jobs in the area where they live you cant expect people to just move their whole life at the snap of a finger.

ButteryMales 08/05/21 9:24:49 AM #61:	CHM_Punk posted... The minimum wage was lobbied into existence in the United States because (prominently) white labor unions wanted to disfranchise black Americans from being employed over them. Going beyond that, it is a glorified tax on employers to leave employees wanting jobs worse off and hurts far more people than it actually helps. If shit was easy as just mandating wage hikes to fix problems, Venezuela and Zimbabwe would be the kings and queens of the universe with living standards higher than the United States. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carriesheffield/2014/04/29/on-the-historically-racist-motivations-behind-minimum-wage/ "who were willing to work for less."
