HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS

Trig Discipline posted:

I come from a poor as gently caress background in Oklahoma and I still have a lot of friends back there. It's never the people who've done super-well who post this sort of poo poo, it's always the ones who are just slightly better off than minimum wage foodservice jobs and want everyone to notice how at least they're not doing THAT for a living. It's loving gross.

Exactly. I had to block a guy on FB that I've known for like 25 years because he lived in upstate NY and did nothing but bitch for months about that $15/hr thing for fast food workers. Of course, he works in a dog food factory and probably doesn't make any more than that. I tried once or twice to give him the old semi-Marxist 'workers, don't let The Man divide you, support your fellow laborers' thing, but it did no good.

And lol about the veneer micrometer guy, my dad tought me how to read those when I was like 10.

Yes, all of those minimum wage workers should work as machinists. If literally everyone was a machinist or programmer, no one would be poor.

The two questions that meme makes me think of.

What sort of machinist only gets paid $15 an hour? How many decades ago was that the going rate for one?

There is punching down, and then there is punching down.

$15 an hour is close to what they should be making if you account for inflation. Then I see people like EMTs and Paramedics bitching about them not deserving that much because that's what they make. Well, maybe you are the one who is underpaid considering you are, I don't know, helping to save people's loving lives?

It's easier to bitch at other people who are getting screwed than to admit there's a big juicy cock being rammed up your own rear end in a top hat.

When I was working as an entry-level manual machinist in the Silicon Valley, the journeymen were making like $20/hr. In 1985.

Of course, within a couple years, all the semiconductor work went overseas and 90% of the shops closed down, but free trade, right?

I'm not an EMT nor do I have any family or friends who are, but you're a retard to think this. I have tons of respect for those guys, regardless of their skill level or training, the poo poo they have to go respond to and deal with is hard enough.

True, taxi drivers get assaulted in every part of town for having money in their cars and also for being not white

lol saying facebook war reminded me of a picture my mom shared a few years ago. It was somebody holding a dollar bill with the word god crossed out and replaced with allah in the "In God We Trust."

The caption was "And you don't think we're at war? Spiritual warfare is still warfare!" or something similar.

I never ate dirt as a kid.

Also "squad" is really weird as far as modern slang goes, supposedly it's what "the kids" are using instead of crew or whatever, but the only times I ever really hear it being used is by older moms on FB like that image quoted above, and in poo poo like those Truth anti-smoking PSAs, which are the epitome of "well what do kids today think is cool?"
