Like I get people that are pro choice but don't want to have abortion paid for with tax dollars but lol at the folks enforcing their morality on others by saying all abortion is wrong.

Idk it also kinda hosed up that if someone kills a pregnant lady that person is tried for double homicide. I mean, should all life in the womb not count then if an unborn person doesn't have rights?

The $15 never made sense to me really. If you are working a job that doesn't pay that then why don't you go out get a sales job? There is a huge demand for sales people now more then ever considering millenials aren't applying for them like gen x and BB did. The demand hasn't waned, only the supply.

So whenever I hear people bitch about it IRL I ask them have you ever worked in sales? They sneer and say no. then I lol and tell them well base pay for most sales jobs is $15 per hour, maybe you shouldn't be lazy go get one.

But if you are a real man you'll take 100% commission one which you can live like a king when start selling.

These people do want a hand imo. Cuz if you ever worked a day in your life you would know it.

Do you mean like sit-in-an-office corporate sales type poo poo or actual retail guy-with-a-nametag because lol if you think the guy at Radio Shack or Best Buy or Guitar Center is making more than like $10-11 an hour, and that's including commission.

Also I'm not sure where this whole "lol millenials are entitled amirite" thing comes from, because most of the retail stores I go into are staffed almost exclusively by bored mid/late twenties people.

full-commission sales jobs also tend to be massive soulcrushers from what I've seen.

I mean sales, not retail. Retail is lowest of the low role that can be called sales. loving lol that you think retail sales is remotely in the same ballpark as enterprise SaaS sales, stocks, real-estate, credit repair, etc.

I'm talking about sales jobs that you can make real money at, where $15 per hour is crap and if you live off it, you feel ashamed.

Full Commission is also the only way to make great money. Its soulcrushing because many companies that have 100% commission are selling a poo poo product, which drains your loving soul to sell. If you work for a company that has a good product, that people should buy, and its 100% commission loving goddamn its loving amazing.

I don't think that, which is why I was asking which one you were referring to

I'm glad your job sitting in a call center pushing credit repair plans on senior citizens is so fulfilling to you though :)

I made $395k last year. Profit. After taxes, in my pocket. How much you make?

Let me tell you something I learned a long time ago. There is no amount of poverty that can help someone you care about. Poverty is disempowerment. Money empowers you. Ethics guides you.

If you want to make ~$30k a year, that's your dream, then so be it. To me that is Hell, and I refuse to live in it.

Cuz baby, do you know what that's worth? In Heaven love comes first and we'll make Heaven a place on Earth.

the issue isn't really that there aren't jobs that pay well out there, obv there are

the issue is that you're always going to need cooks and janitors and whatever the hell else so why not structure society such that those jobs aren't a living hell?

ideally society is one in which you'd feel okay about being placed into any position on the pyramid; obviously the top is more desirable but you'd still be able to do fine on the bottom.

e: also it's not true that there is a well paying job for every single person out there who wants one :shrug: For every decent real sales job that still exists there's like 40-50 scam MLM jobs and it's a job in of itself to land decent work (god help you if you have no connections to lean on).

Moridin, I agree with you. There will always be low paying jobs with people to fill them. That is their lot and choice in life. If they had any shred of ambition, drive, they would pick up a loving phone and sell. They would apply to every sales position that is hiring. They would learn how to sell, and do it. However, these people live their life as if LIFE happens to them.

You make your own life. You either make yourself a Heaven on Earth or choose to live in Hell.

Poverty isn't a virtue. It's a sin.

Shame on you if you have the ability, the means, and opportunity to become more wealthy than you are right now. Then CHOOSE not to act. Shame.

All train compartments smell vaguely of poo poo. It gets so you don't mind it.

That's the worst thing that I can confess. You know how long it took me to get there? A long time.

When you die you're going to regret the things you don't do. You think you're queer? I'm going to tell you something: we're all queer.

You think you're a thief? So what?

You get befuddled by a middle-class morality? Get shut of it. Shut it out.

You cheat on your wife? You did it, live with it.

There's an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what? If you think there is, go ahead, be that thing.

Bad people go to Hell? I don't think so. If you think that, act that way. A Hell exists on earth? Yes. I won't live in it. That's me.

I am with you, man, society would just go along if we just got rid of all nurses, cooks, street-sweepers, teachers and other low wage earners, because they're scum that deserve to wallow in misery. Now, if we all woke up and there were no sales representatives anymore it would be hell on earth in ten seconds flat.

There are two types of people in this world. People who believe life happens to them and the people that create their own life.

You just listed the creatures of circumstance. The people without CONTROL of their own lives. They all have bullshit stories about why they're where they are in life.

Salesmen. True salesmen. Create their own lives.

If you are tired of scrapping by or feeling incapable of controlling your own destiny, then pick up the loving phone and sell.

Yeah, if you don't suffer a permanent mental or physical disability (45%, average of 9 different conditions claimed per veteran), AND use your GI Bill to apply to any certificate or degree program (48%) AND graduate (52% of the 48%) and you're saying your best bet is to go roll the dice again, this time with a company you can't sue for continuing to gently caress over your body and mind and from whom it's incredibly difficult from which to extract benefits? I'd 100% bet there are more former porn stars teaching kindergarten and managing hedge funds than concussed jarheads

Not saying it's a good choice but most military roles do not involve combat or lead to ptsd. But the ones that do, if they are sociopaths, can make a lot of money in the private military sector. If you know this about yourself early in life, you can do quiet well.
