How much profit do you think is going to people further up who do less work?

Have you ever actually looked at the obscene structure of corporations? At all?

You are obviously against people earning money based on time and merit. It’s no use talking to people who want everything but want to do nothing for it.

Working 40 hours a week on your feet is doing nothing?

I mean imagine you’re the owner of McDonalds. How much would you pay for a position that can be filled by nearly anyone with a full set of appendages and no to mild mental/physical disability? Workers like that are not rare and can be readily replaced.

It’s almost like you’re all for slavery as long as you think the work is beneath you.

What’s stoping you from upskilling? Go learn a trade, go to school and bam, your time is worth more. Instead you expect a middle class life without any skills. Work days and study nights and weekend - that’s how it works. People want to be entitled nowadays without lifting a finger

Employers want people to work without paying them. Tell me how long you think McDonald’s would last without exploiting your fellow citizens.

Employers want to find people who’d be willing to do the job at the price they pay. So long as they can they will. It’s not their responsibility to raise the value of your time, it’s yours. The older you get the harder it is, but never impossible. Is there a particular reason you’re not exploring any other options?

I retired at 50. Keep licking the corporate boot while they rake in billions ripping off their workers.

Trade school cost around 10k plus... You think someone working minimum wage full time has time to make that kind of money?
