Both work 48 hour weeks, who takes care of the baby? Who is going to give them the overtime.
His premise falls apart on its own
Actually, he does explain it in the replies.
It's so simple! ๐
Okay in a decent state whose to say that the best paying roles arent already all taken up? Its just wild that these guys get to sit around talk and be rich while shaming people to do the shittiest fucking jobs.
What about the obscene always growing rent prices or the absurdity of owning a car, do they both have cars? Its so lame i hate it here i cannot wait to leave
You simply murder the current manager and then apply for their position. If you lack the skills to get away with murder, you can save up a few thousand dollars and hire a hitman on the dark web with bitcoin. I am a very serious economist.
hello fellow very serious economist, i didn't realize so many of us were on the bear site. I think you're over-achieving a bit with the hitman though, you can just get them drunk and put them behind the wheel a few times until nature takes its course.
Brilliant! The amount you save on dark web hitment will accumulate over time and you can invest those saving into bitcoin!
The amount of store manager positions is always an order of magnitude less then the lowest level jobs. 90% of people would not be promoted, because there simply isn't any positions to be promoted to.
This something no capitalist is willing to mentally process. Every high paid job is indirectly subsidised by 9 or more underpaid jobs.
These people will really sit down and say "why doesn't every poor paid person just decide to get promoted and thus earn more???"
Ding ding, and let's not forget that managers are expected to work even more hours. Usually I see retail managers working over 60 hours a week. Granted it does spare your body because you get a chair and paperwork to deal with rather than back breaking lifting and hauling and walking constantly.
But most get to a supervisor position and get shit canned because they pissed off someone in corporate or they just can't move beyond there because typically only college degrees get to manage a store or move on to corporate.
the wife's 20 hrs a week isn't enough to pay for childcare. the husband now works 60 hours a week (straight time, no OT), for 2 bucks more an hour than peons, not 10. now with 'family' health plan, his insurance cost has more than tripled. their combined net take-home is less than it was before. they divorce 18 months later.
This is like slaveowner fanfiction or something, in what universe is any of this true. Oh yes the slaves are yearning to be store managers working 48 hour weeks for $25/hr (which is definitely not what the store manager is making), and it's just so easy to do, all you have to do is want to be the store manager and in 1 year you are! It's just so easy!
I work in a factory so maybe it's different for grocery stores, but, my team lead makes $2/hr more than me. That seems more likely after one fucking year - except I think getting there took him three lol
When I worked construction with my brother in law, he was making about $2 more an hour than me, despite being in construction for his entire adult life. He was basically a foreman and I had started that summer. This was over 15 years ago, but still that's not a justifiable difference with his experience and responsibilities.
Who the fuck is getting a $10/hour pay bump as a manager?
And like, taxes. Though maybe he could use it to argue there should be no tax. Which would be great IMO, as it would further delegitimize the US dollar and accelerate empire collapse.
But its definitely just hogwash
Just hire a nanny at a slightly lower cost than you bring home from renting out your uterus to a barren white PMC couple. Rent out your bathtub. Another tip is to sell a kidney for a quick cash injection into the household, or you put that into a global index fund at a 7% return (guaranteed). When the child is old enough you can start harvesting it for blood. It's just snowballs from here. Before you know it you're living large on a passive income.
There, I just gave you four income streams. Stop blaming capitalism for your problems.
