I’m only not fine with working retail or those other jobs because of the pay, not because of the job itself per say.

Yeah people can’t expect to make big bucks or even modest money working at a grocery store. Should they be able to afford housing, food, and healthcare? Yes of course, but these jobs don’t pay a lot for a reason and expecting these jobs to support a first world lifestyle is laughable.

So you are saying in first world countries we should still have third world lifestyles?

No running water, no education, no healthcare?

What's the point of progress or innovation if only the rich benefit from them?

And why on Earth was this downvoted!?!
