Raising the minimum wage won't help

[The Grand Nudger]

Until of course you raise minimum wage so high that it puts the slackjawed idiots into the same pay scale.

Idiots and slackers should not be well compensated 

You pay a doorstop, doorstop wages.

Why are these people having trouble with that concept?

Yes, we do agree that more skilled workers should be paid more than the unskilled. Thing is, I (and most of the people here) also believe the unskilled workers still should have the minimum amount of pay to allow them to support themselves.

Well, if we want someone to keep picking up our trash, we cant tell the trashman that his job doesn't qualify as a living.

Certainly more so, if we're junkyard operators selling 20 year old saturns.  The guy who says ridiculous shit like that...can go fully fuck himself.  He's the useless taker, not the burger flipper.  He couldn't afford a fucking burger unless someone else had been convinced to sell their labor at an unreprenstatively low price.

If I'm not being clear.  Biker, you...are a trash merchant.  The lowest of the low.  The burger flippers you deride are your betters - full stop.  You, and not them, should have less..because you, and not them...are worthless.  I'd pay for a burger, and do.....but I'd never buy your junk.

If the trashmen of the world all quit tomorrow, that would be bad. If the idiots who maintain saturns all quit tomorrow, no one would notice. Biker is the very thing, the very man, that he thinks should be ignored..and, for once, I think he's right. He should go fuck himself and starve to death. His children, if we're so unfortunate that he had any, can follow him to the grave. One day, we'll be rid of anything like him - by default...and at his own insistence
