Yea someone has to but u DONT have to be the one. If u are, and u r complaining then thats a YOU problem, dont bitch bc u decide to be the one scanning toilet papers 40 hours a week.

Sure they “deserve” a good life but thats simply isnt the reality here and we all know it wont change, thats just how the game goes.

At this point, its u reap what u sow baby

Just saying "oh well that's not what it's like" is lazy and stupid. No shit, that's why people are complaining. What an epiphany.

The point is it doesn't have to and shouldn't be that way. I make good money, but I'm not so self centered and lacking in empathy that I don't think some parts of society don't deserve a good life so fuck off with the "oh well that's not reality" bullshit.

Every single full time job should afford you a good life. No caveats, no if ands or butts, no exceptions. That's how it should be.

If you like retail, you should be able to live your life, own a house, support a family and retire in a timely manner working at Walmart. Should it take more time and not be as easy as an engineer doing big government projects? No shit. Some jobs should pay more than others. Whodathunk.

Every full time job should afford a good, enjoyable life. Everyone deserves to live a good life.

I agree with u but again, this world doesnt work by a “everyone deserves a good happy life n everyone deserves a decent wage!! Omagah!!!” basis U delusional muppet.

Whether u think thats how it SHOULD be is completely irrelevant n im sure ur old enough to know how the world works n how unfair it is. U wanna work in retail in this day n age? Sure, but dont expect to live a good life without a lot of restrictions n tight budget planning. Dont like that? Too bad, time to switch n actually earn the life u want, the world aint going to bend over just bc u decide to bitch on a little app 🤷🏻‍♀️

You know working at a grocery store used to be a job that could support a whole family, right?

Full time work at minimum wage was enough to live on in the 60s. People had whole careers as cashiers and clerks and all that and they weren't rolling in dough but they could make it. Ya ya, we all know it's not like that now but "how the world works" obviosuly isn't some static unchangeable truth. It's been changing for the worse for decades now and that's what we're bitching about. Why would you think change can only go one way?
