You made my point. While it’s true that those types of jobs traditionally aren’t supposed to be jobs to make a living off of but markets have been distorted. They will not do what it actually takes like going after Fed or ending fractional reserve banking and that’s just the start. Importing millions upon millions definitely doesn’t help
If you aren’t making what you need to make you are going to have to either look for a new job or get something in the side. It sucks but if I am not making enough then it’s ultimately on me to do something. Some jobs simply aren’t designed to support my current life. When I washed dishes at a restaurant as a teenager I wasn’t expecting that salary to sustain me into adulthood
That's not what I was getting at. A full-time job should be able to enable you to get by without having to count every single penny you spend. If it doesn't it's either because your employer pays you a slave wage or what is usually the case the cost of living is far too high for which the government is to be blamed.
Work has to be done and it should be properly rewarded no matter what work it is. A cashier does a vital job for society. So does the guy who cleans the street. And people who work in the food industry. They need to be paid a living wage. Not everyone can work in high-paying IT jobs developing the next useless mobile app.
Hey, I’m a firm believer that everyone’s job is important. I agree the cost of living is too high but unfortunately don’t think most people are willing to do what it takes to do something about it along with inflation, fiat currency, etc. I completely agree you should be able to work a full time job and not have to work others. Granted some jobs are designed to be entry level but ideally working hard at your job should give you raises and promotion opportunities. No arguments from me about cost of living. My rent keeps going up and up
That's a fair point... But a lot of it is going to depend on if it's worth it.
Like... It makes sense for a full-time position to include more responsibility than cashier/drink making.
Or it's worth it if you have a store with HIGH traffic and the full-time cashier / barista is just excellent at their job keeping things flowing maximizing our profits and customer satisfaction.
I saw some dude with a simple fresh lemonade stand says he pays his guys 15-20 an hour just cuz they can knock out 3 drinks a minute.. profiting $12 a minute instead of someone slower profiting $4 a minute.
But honestly, these corporate stores probably aren't doing any of that.

How is a full-time job not a job that you are supposed to make a living off of?
