Full time work should entitle someone to enough pay for rent, food, bills, and leisure activities. Full time work for a full life wage. You put in your 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? You should be able to afford the basic shit you need in life, no matter where you work.
pisses me off that this is considered a radical statement.
I do agree with this but from economic standpoint if you are working at a job like McDonalds as someone flipping burgers and making fries you are getting paid for the amount of skill needed for the job. But if its any other job that requires you to have an actual skill that you can make a career out of then yeah you should be getting paid enough to live a standard life.
If you work FULL TIME you should be able to afford to fucking live. No, it doesn’t matter if it’s flipping burgers, these people contribute to our fucking economy and they MATTER. They should be allowed to be alive.
Jesus fucking Christ do you people hear yourselves?
People like this are why we can’t move on to issues like reducing how many hours is full time, or working out UBI.
We’re going to need to do that. Most people just don’t know what’s coming down the pipeline, without a major change to the structure of the economy, we’re looking at large scale permanent unemployment, even in the “skilled” labor force.
Also? Making food is a fucking skill. Running a fast food kitchen is a fucking skill. Operating a drive-thru is a goddamn fucking skill.
I do not know how to do these things. I have a masters degree and I have no fucking clue how to operate a deep fryer or make coffee drinks. I’d probably not be very good at it, because that kind of hands-on, fast-paced work is very hard for me.
But thankfully, there are people who are good at it, so I can do my job, and they can do theirs, and we can benefit one another by putting our skills to use in different areas. People who work in fast food are not less deserving of comfort and security in their lives just because their skills aren’t valued like they should be. That is a myth developed to deprive people of rights.
My friend works as a medical assistant and I’ve worked at McDonald’s and Starbucks. You know there’s a lot of things you gotta learn in this typa job?
Like in addition to it being physically demanding (standing up for 4-6 hours straight, carrying heavy ice/coffee, constantly getting burned by boiling water and an oven, a lot of reaching and squatting (like a lot a lot I lost 40 FUCKING pounds in a year okay this job demands a lot from the body)), there are actual skills required. Also your skin splits from using so much antibacterial soap.
Do you know what temperature different foods have to be to prevent contamination? If it’s a “cold” or “hot” plate?? Do You know how long food can be out before bacterial contamination can happen?? Do you know the difference between say 1% and heavy whipping cream? Can you teach a chemistry class using milk????? That’s p much what you gotta learn to be able to do. My friend who works as a medic was surprised, because I do more in my day than they do, and THEY told me that. They were shocked how much I actually do; I am on my feet more, talking to more people, I have a working knowledge of food germs food born illnesses and chemistry, I gotta do the same shit with sterilizing my tools the same exact way a doctor sterilizes theirs. Etc etc.
There’s no such thing as an unskilled job. There are only undervalued skills.
“There’s no such thing as an unskilled job. There are only undervalued skills.”
You should get a fair share in the wealth you are producing instead of most of the wealth your work produces, goes straight to the owner of the business AKA the fucking capitalist suit and tie asshole at the top of the pyramid.
even while flipping burgers, you do not get paid your full value, you get paid as little as possible, and you do labour for someone else.
i worked 100x harder in retail for longer hours than i ever have in my higher paying office setting
It kills me that people undervalue jobs that they benefit from everyday. The amount of fast food we eat, the amount of time we spend sitting in the drive thru for coffee, the fact that we practically have an entire day dedicated to shopping after Thanksgiving to the point that people camp outside retail stores… the fact that anyone can say, “Eh, they don’t deserve a livable wage cuz it’s just flipping burgers,” is insane, E S P E C I A L L Y when these kinds of jobs are the FIRST JOBS people point at whenever someone is out of work. “Have you tried McDonalds? You must not be trying hard enough if you haven’t gone there yet. You should AT LEAST GO WORK THERE!!!”
Oh? Really? But didn’t you just shit all over it?
Introducing magical girls gettin’ down to business! We have Galactic Purple powering up her signature “Cupcake Bomb.” Not only does it explode, but it has acidic frosting. Next, we have Prism Pink using her seamstress abilities with “Sewn Together Symmetry.” She uses her threads to tie down her opponents, and if they try to move they learn the hard way that the thread is razor sharp.
This art will soon be available as prints of the girls and will also be included in the first book of the magnifiqueNOIR series: I Am Magical.
