"Jeremy, you're a wanker for suggesting that McDonalds workers should be paid more than nurses!!!"

"£15/hr! That's more than I make in my managerial position and I've got a degree and 10 years in post! Labour need to live in the real world'"

"£15 for flipping burgers? What, I suppose I'll go get a job at McDonald's and start making real money [row of crying-with-laughter smilies]"

"So the serving staff will be earning more than the junior managers? How does that make sense JEREMY!? You really don't understand economics do you? lol"

Just depressing how so many people have been primed to oppose things that would make their lives better...

Me: fucken burger flippers shouldn’t make more than a nurse!!! £15/hr lol what are McDs made out of money or what get outta here you don’t understand economics JERMY

Also me: this man who inherited a multibillion fortune simply by plopping out of the right uterus completely deserves to make a million pounds an hour simply by existing and we shouldn’t tax them or they’ll stop working hard to create jobs!!!

But if they pay macdolans more than nurses then everyone will stop being nurses and start flipping bergers unless they pay nurses more. Why do these untitled kids want nurses to have a bagaining chip to get paid more?

it wonrt let me check into my return flight because i dont have a flight out of the uk afterwards

i assume this is cause i have a us passport

When you say 'it' do you mean the computer?

Happens also to British friends who live in Country X where the return leg of the journey IS to Country X and they live there. Normally no problem at Heathrow but they sometimes get into arguments at smaller UK airports.

You'll probably have to check in at the airport and have a discussion with the check-in clerks.

gently caress that everyone in the world should be earning at least £50 an hour and then we make money meaningless

We absolutely are at the technological level where we can become a post-scarcity society and frankly it’d be the easiest way to stop loving up the planet but nah gently caress it, can’t feel good about myself if I don’t see other people worse off than me

Are we though? Scarcity still exists, particularly for tangibles, particularly food and housing. Not to mention environmental effects - I think post-scarcity is only a reality when we can deal with the environmental damage that production causes.

I'm pretty sure we overproduce food and scarcity is artificial due to capitalism, though whether that will continue is debatable given unsustainable agriculture.

Housin scarcity of course is entirely political.

Yes and no - exponential growth in housing will use materials that will be depleted, meaning that there is a point where they will begin to run out, or the environmental cost will be severe. There's a difference between 'artificially reduced supply' and 'post-scarcity'.

Look at all the loving trillions upon trillions of dollars loving around in VCs throwing literal piles of money at stupid startups because they don't even know what to do with it, look at the military industrial complex, etc etc. This is all indicative of an unfathomably enormous overproduction, all this product of human work could go back to all humans, and we could sustainably make everyone super comfortable. And that's not even getting into making all the third world countries in Latin America and Africa sustainably productive too instead of being resource exploitation areas.

If anything we have plenty of loving room to get there, it's just we don't seem to want to, at all.

But for some reason society decided that because I had an opportunity to go to uni and barely get a degree then fall rear end backwards into a loving good job that I "deserve" more money than people who work just as hard if not harder in "menial jobs"

I never went to uni or held down a job.

My purpose is to be forced by the jobcentre into some random industry with hundreds of others in order to keep labour costs down. My apologies to anyone in the security industry, that seems to be the focus at the minute: get everyone on UC an SIA licence.

Ah see but you obviously should have worked harder. Whatever the gently caress that means.
