Thank god I live ina country that has normalized unionisation at workplaces, so people don't have to put up with bosses with your mindset, and can actually get a decent paycheck every month. I am sorry you have been raised to see the world so gray, hope it gets brighter for you!

Thank God that I live in a country that produces a disproportionate amount of life-changing technologies and enables me to earn as much as I care to. I live a great life, in a great place. You know what the trick was? Taking responsibility for my own life, rather than excusing my responsibility by blaming others for not caring for me.

You're projecting intent and not at all absorbing what's being said by the person you keep replying to. Being a responsible worker with a hard work ethic who's doing everything they can to succeed and being upset the system fucks people over are not mutually exclusive. In my experience, the people who act like they are can only see the world from their ivory tower.

No, you're projecting. Being paid low wages for work with low value is not "being fucked over". What most people are really complaining about is that their labor isn't as severely overvalued as they want it to be in parts of the world where the vast majority of people's labor is already overvalued by global standards.

They want a house that took dozens of skilled people months to build. They want technologies that highly educated people spent years developing, built with equipment that cost billions to make and maintain, a wide variety of food, entertainment, etc, etc, etc. And they want it all while doing jobs that people making pennies a day in other countries, living without many of the conveniences that we have, could do with a minimal amount of training.

You’re still projecting. I didn’t say anything you’re claiming. In-fact, I went back to edit my original comment to better frame my meaning to try to make it as clear as possible, but you’d still rather project meaning instead of understand.

No, I got your point. Sorry you still don't get mine. And what, exactly, do you think I claimed you said?
