Re: What boring ass shite will you be up to this weekend

Well, the average age of employees at those places is 29, so maybe you're the one whose math is off. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2013/nov/04/bill-maher/bill-maher-average-fast-food-worker-29-most-are-pu/

And they mostly also aren't able to afford internet. So.

Dude, seriously? And what about library computers? Do you actually think poor people can't get internet access? Or have free time? We don't all have three kids, jesus.

Re: What boring ass shite will you be up to this weekend

[herpymcderp]

Yes, you have nailed the entire breadth of the insinuation from my eight word reply. Bravo.

Yes, you know more about people living below the poverty line than me, who's lived at that point for a good deal of my life, because you watched some documentaries on it.
Your head is so far up your own ass sometimes. Just admit you were wrong for once. I know it's hard for you, but you can do it.

Nah. I'll take population research over one person's anecdata any day.

have you ever tried to actually use a library computer? they don't work for shit, and most libraries are set up with rules to make them almost impossible to use even if you can find one that some little kid hasn't pissed on or something.

I work for minimum wage, and here I fucking am. Jesus, you pick stupid hills to die on sometimes.

Is it in fast food? Specifically, is it at McDonalds?

da
What difference does it make if it's fast food or not if you're still being paid the same wage?

Re: What boring ass shite will you be up to this weekend

[herpymcderp]

I just made a similar post upthread about why it makes a difference, but I'll paraphrase.

McD's/other fast food is unskilled entry level no experience required labour. Among wage slavery it's about the lowest of low tier. That means that in general adults over 25 who are doing it are immigrant workers; locals tend to already have had enough experience to move up to other tiers of wage slavery.

Sure, other employers can still fuck you over and offer you a shit wage (e.g. when tipping is involved, especially the way the US labour economy works), but you usually need some form of experience to get those other jobs.

That's important, because that's where the bulk of the assumption lies.

It doesn't matter if it's entry level or experienced work if it offers the exact same wage. A person who makes $8/hr working full time as a nurse's aid isn't magically richer than a person who makes $8/hr working full time at McDonald's just because you have to have more credentials to be a nurse's aid than to flip burgers. THEY'RE STILL MAKING THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY. They're still both below the poverty line. They're still both probably working multiple jobs.

You're being a fucking idiot.

I really don't care about the rest of this conversation except in a popcorn-munching spectator kind of way, but I'm curious to know how being a skilled low-wage worker vs. an unskilled low-wage worker makes any difference as far as internet access and such. If the wages are the same, then income is the same. Waitstaff and line cooks have to spend just as much time on their feet and get just as tired. I doubt they're less likely to have kids to support or more likely to have a partner with a better income. Requiring a bit more experience and intelligence to do the job doesn't automatically translate to higher pay or an all-around better lifestyle.
