That’s why white people don’t work fast food any more. They underpay immigrants, who are then forced to live 10 to a house and white people complain about that too.

(I am a white person)

What? Capitalism created an oppressed underclass that got trapped in menial labor?

The market will fix itself no worries

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Not like that!

Yeah but you can sell this argument better to the rubes if you phrase it using examples they can see for themselves.

[-] LordFireCrotch@lemmy.today 13 points 2 months ago

Damn dude, why are you doing these things??

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

By “doing these things” do you mean “not working in fast food”?

Because it sucks and I was afforded opportunities to not have to be stuck there.

That doesn’t mean I have to look down on the people who are working a shitty job here because it’s still better than whatever they left.

These are smart, courageous people doing work us pampered fatsos don’t want to do.

About a third to a half of the fast food workers near me are black Americans.

This is also disproportionately high for our area.

Fuck corporations

They're so old and out of touch they don't even realize the burgers aren't flipped anymore, they're cooked on both sides at once.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Yeah in fast food restaurants. If you go to an actual sit down restaurant the patties are grilled on a flat top or an open flame grill.

[-] redsand@infosec.pub 17 points 2 months ago

2026: What do you mean AI can flip the burgers but not buy them?!

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 17 points 2 months ago

Good Burger. Welcome to the Good Burger. How may I take your order?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

"Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?"

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 11 points 2 months ago

It’s been 29 years. Bound to misremember something.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

I do it all the time! That quote's just seared into my brain.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 5 points 2 months ago

Do you remember what your father looks like?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

For now, at least!

[-] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 0 points 2 months ago

Every time I shave.

[-] Thorry@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago

2026: The bombs have fallen, at least I have access to boxes of frozen patties, for as long as they last.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

I want the 2022 job market back

[-] Dryad@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Last one should read “You need a minimum 5 years experience and AI will screen out your resume without a perfect match” and “why is it so hard for us to find qualified candidates?”

[-] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I just point out that Ghost jobs are a thing and apparently job application process is good way to get your data collected for free

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It misses the part where the person went to college anyway and still wound up "flipping burgers" because their field isn't hiring. Except now they have to pay off several tens of thousands of dollars of debt with that measly salary.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

This comic needs to be burned. It should be corrected to say 2024. That is the way

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Exactly this.

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 2 months ago

You're making me hungry. I could go for a burger now.

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I like flipping burgers so much I usually do it for free! Also I didn't go to college. I'm doing ok though.
