I’m more and more convinced that this kind of thinking is the kind of third-world mindset that destroyed America. (twitter.com)

David seems to be under the impression that the markets haven’t already been distorted by globalization to the point where we can’t have homogenous communities that are self-sufficient. These minimum wage jobs aren’t something to aspire to, but they serve a purpose and should at least be treated as a necessary part of a successful, capitalistic society rather than something to scorn. Malicious actors like Zohran will never fix this problem, because their entire platform is based around importing third-world filth that suppress wages and using the taxpayer money to fix a problem that was caused by globalization.

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

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

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.
