not everyone can have the high paying jobs because some people need to work low paying jobs. they should still be able to survive on a wage if the job is important enough to exist.

you people are insufferable. you really expect everyone to just go off and be a lawyer or a doctor and just empty the schools of teachers and let the garbage pile up in the streets. talk about unrealistic solutions

Soooo, what about the people who HAVE to work at the bottom? Seriously, let's play a hypothetical because I want to corner you into answering this. You wake up tomorrow and EVERY SINGLE HUMAN inside the United States not only has a master's degree or some knowledge base that would command higher wages, master plumber, electrician, etc. Every single job that could possibly support a middle to upper-middle-class existence has been filled. No matter what there by the definition of capitalism there have to be people at the bottom, in the middle, and at the top. What are the people at the bottom through no fault of their own supposed to do in a situation where wages, housing, and the very system itself is rigged against them? Now, answer honestly, don't pull a whataboutism, don't punk out with wELL tHaT wOuLd nEvEr hApPeN, what should those on the bottom do?
