the "they are doing jobs nobody wants to do!" argument is always 100% bullshit. They are doing jobs that working class people would do if the employers paid a fair wage but apparently that's so completely out of the question that it never makes it into this poo poo argument

The argument really is a load of poo poo. Nothing makes your point get lost faster than trying to argue that people don't want jobs rather than realizing if those jobs don't pay a living wage because there's an overabundance of people to do them.

Seriously I don't know how this is still a talking point. I really think it's because everyone is going off the complete loving deep end will extremism on both sides.

It's like watching rationality go down the drain with both sides equally poo poo in two different complete ways

A bunch of new hires at my company put theirs into the 2060 target date fund because, no surprise, they want to retire around 2060. Thing is, it's a new fund that's "just getting off the ground" so while all the other target date funds (including 2055) are around .012% , 2060 is 2%. 2 whole percents!!!!!! That poo poo could mean tens to hundreds of thousands down the line, depending on how long that fee remains.

John Oliver just had a 20 minute segment on 401ks after they went through the process of setting one up for the employees on his show. It's a good watch (available on YouTube)

2% is insane horseshit but at least target retirement date funds should prevent the situation like the hordes of idiots that were near retirement in 2007 and ended up going "welp, guess I'll work for another decade because I'm dumb."

But as you more or less stated, if you're not super dumb and can manage to devote a couple hours a year to paying attention to your 401k you can do the same thing, get as good or better returns, and probably pay less fees.

Seemed like Vanguard generally had pretty low fees but my new company uses Great West and there are definitely some high fee turds (over 1% IIRC) scattered throughout their offerings.

Have you fuckers Cromwelled the royals yet? It's the only way you're ever going to be civilized. That and dealing with your massive racial issues by actually confronting them instead of pretending they don't exist. Also you should apologize for the Empire and empty your poo poo museums of everything non-British never mind the jewels and poo poo you stole from India. Basically you're a bunch of thieving ravens pretending to be a nation. Thanks for permanently securing your place as a garbage tier country full of racists though, it's nice that the stupid British accent love thing America had going on will probably die down.

India was free to defend itself if it was the true owner of the artifacts. Britain won those jewels fair and square ! Mughals hosed India way more in comparison.

as I am reading this post there is a guy on NPR talking about how lots of the migrants from Poland etc. have blue collar skills and are loving over English plumbers, electricians, etc.

Vice did an amazing piece on this argument in the USA when one of the southern states went hardcore throw everyone in jail who hires illegal aliens during the recession when unemployment was higher. The fields went empty, so they put up signs everywhere, and Vice followed some typical white guys who needed jobs. They lasted half a day. It wasn't the low pay, the people needed the money badly. It was backbreaking work and they simply couldn't do it. The entire farming economy took a poo poo in that state, so they came up with the idea to have inmates do this. Well, the inmates did such a bad job, the farms had to try and hire people to try and fix their fuckups because, surprise, people that dont want to do the work, don't do it right. The farm owners went on explaining how white & black guys are just loving lazy who want breaks every 15 minutes, and want to work half days, where the Hispanics would actually enjoy and do a fantastic job. Ultimately, I think the state had to roll back the new laws because the economy was taking too bad of a hit.

yeah but that's just an extension of the "jobs nobody wants" fallacy. The white guys couldn't hack it because in order to even make minimum wage picking fruit you have to work like a loving machine because of the way the pay scheme is rigged by the employer

that Morgan Spurlock show "Inside Man" followed him as a fruit picker in Florida and it shows how the workers get hosed by the employers

Pay people $10-12 and hour to pick fruit and hold them to reasonable, humane productivity requirements and you'd have people lined up out the door to do the work. But god forbid someone that owns a farm might have to become slightly less profitable so that their neighbor can eat and live indoors
