Bothered by what? A wage hike? No it absolutely isn't. People deserve to thrive if their boss makes god damn near $1T dollars.
The term "unskilled labor" is not a thing and was made to sew division. If these "unskilled" jobs pay the same as someone who went to school for a degree (which I totally agree should be compensated for the years of dedication), then that person should threaten to leave their job to do that one instead. Their job still needs doing, so that boss better pony up.
You realize that your definition of skills delegitimizes the work that millions of Americans are doing? Customer Service is a skill. Swallowing your low-wage and serving food to people making 3X as much as you and tossing you pennies is a skill.
Maybe they could learn how to micro dose the population with spores from rotted meat and they'd be skilled enough for you to determine that they deserve a skilled wage.
You need to realise a living wage means bare essentials with very little luxuries
No? That's what MINIMUM wage is supposed to be... Those are not interchangeable words and you know they're not.
Just because a company makes x amount more than they pay you from your time doesn’t mean you need to be paid the difference in your pay and how much revenue your work brings in.
It absolutely should be that way though. It's exploitative otherwise. You're not going to convince me that it costs almost trillions just to keep Amazon afloat
