What does GC blame for his weight loss? Is it the lap band surgery he got?? Hmm I wonder. Doesn't sound like personal responsibility to me

Lid posted:Are we defining fat as overweight or obese, because those two have become partially interchangable in "fat people" debates and colours the view of who is saying them. "Fat" is a vaguer term and the people here saying they're fat i have been assuming mean overweight dads. no gatekeeping. self identifying fatties are valid

having worked at a tobacco franchise company doing stock and tech support for franchises, there is definitely a huge black market for tobacco. enough that we had to crack down on our franchisees to be like, look, stop selling chop chop you morons. most of it goes to selling single smokes, instead of by the packet, but a lot of the reason why you wouldn't know this illicit trade exists unless you look for it, is because the quality of the tobacco is poo poo, even for the price. unless you get some marlboros imported from indonesia or something

as an aside, the tobacco retail industry is an absolute nightmare, and anyone who took a serious look at how the tobacco companies bypass advertising laws by blatantly advertising-and-offering-kickbacks to retailers for selling their brand would be like, holy poo poo this is hosed

MysticalMachineGun posted:Also, may I just chime in here and say age based wages are the greatest load of bullshit ever. If a job is worth doing it's worth paying a 13 year old the same as a 20 year old, don't entrench child labour by paying them less and making it more enticing for companies to hire year 8s and turf them before graduation. lol "entrenching child labour" hahaha

The Before Times posted:it's because female labour is seen as inherently worth less than male labour and I'm sure it's similar with young people yeah exactly, its almost as if wages are paid based on the perceived ability of the person involved and not based on the difficulty of the job. it doesn't encourage people to hire kids over adults in any industry where ability is necessary, mmg's just mad that he got turned down from a maccas job at 23. it sucks that people aren't paid equally for a given role, but accusing it of entrenching child labor is pretty fuckin funny, considering most teenagers work to have some kind of income to spend, not out of some pressing financial need

Periphery posted:The gender wage gap is pretty different to the fact that we allow people to hire children at wages well below the minimum wage and I don't know why anyone here decided to conflate them and cause this stupid conversation. because their existence doesn't create some sort of labour class of preferential hires, depriving hard working adults/men of their jobs

why arent our 7-11s staffed by children if they're so abundant and cheap to hire, surely it would be easier to commit wage theft on them

keen to hear all your thoughts on apprentice wages, i'm sure they should all be the same as people who are not apprentices. they're doing the same job right

hooman posted:No, I'm saying they should be. I'm saying the exact argument for 16 year olds working for less than adults should also apply to apprentices, I'm saying I'm consistent on the case of "being paid below the minimum wage for work is loving bullshit". I agree here, nobody should be paid below minimum wage. I would go as far as to say that minimum wage should be higher across the board and indexed to CPI/median rent prices. I just don't think that paying children less because they're children creates opportunities to entrench child labour. If paying children less means paying them below a living wage, that's fuckin lovely and should be changed. It doesn't have any impact on whether adults get hired for jobs because as we've established, there are a whole range of industries that children aren't even allowed to work in because they (legally, physically, whatever) can't do some tasks that a person who is older than them can do.

hooman posted:EDIT: And if the tradie is also making the minimum wage? Well then that's not an argument to cut the apprentice's pay, that's an argument to raise theirs. yes, exactly. doesn't mean that the apprentice's pay should be raised to match the tradie without consideration for the broader picture

Birdstrike posted:The federal government paying an 18 year old less than a 20 year old less than an “adult” (at 21) for the same work is bullshit. i can get on board with this. if you're old enough to be able to make adult decisions, you should be paid as an adult. in my head i'm thinking 15/16/17, not the 18-20yo kids

Periphery posted:The fact that children can't work at servos has no impact on the hiring preferences of fast food chains, supermarkets or other similar unskilled jobs. The fact that those children get paid substantially less to do unskilled labour would seem like a likely factor that would impact those job markets. conversely, if adults and children were paid the same, what motivation would a fast food or supermarket employer have to employ a child over an adult? how do you propose young people enter the labour market when potentially competing with people with 10-15+ years experience than them in unskilled roles
