Not the same thing. An essential worker was somebody doing a job needed for society to continue. That includes both skilled (years of training) jobs and unskilled (a week or two at most before you can do it) jobs.
No that money needs to go to coke addled morons with degrees in cognitive dissonance who spend their days fucking children and gambling in ways that can crash the global economy. Also ceo’s that make the worst possible decisions.
People who feed you are doing grunt work? People who take your garbage away too? You gave just dismissed two groups of people whose jobs are vital to your wellbeing.
The problem with your thinking is it’s actually not thinking at all.
Yes. People who do jobs that take minimal training and who could be replaced in a week are doing grunt work. That’s the difference between skilled and unskilled. Do you need to go through years of training to do your job? Congratulations, you’re not as replaceable as the guy who was trained in 2 days by a high school dropout.
Although, what does a corporate lawyer, wall street gambler, CEO, or congressman really contribute to society? Except stimulating the therapy industry with all the kids they fuck?
I’m against genocide, and believe it should be stopped by any means possible as fast as possible, and the lives of those committing it should not be considered. They don’t necessarily all need to die, but enough of them need to die to stop it, and their lives are beneath consideration. I think ‘hamas’ are dicks who mostly don’t matter. They killed a handful of genocidal monsters, but they treat queer people like shit, so it’s about break-even morally. Doubt we’d get along.
Why are you bringing shit from other threads in here?
Was McDonald’s and Starbucks really necessary for society to continue? And if it is: They should definitely be paid a lot more just for that, let alone the minimum necessary to survive (which they don’t get).

If their job is essential for the continuation of society, maybe we should pay them more?

The problem is that ANYBODY can do it. Why pay a premium for grunt work?

Except “nobody wants to work anymore” i.e. you can’t actually replace them that easily.
rice is essential. should it be more expensive than caviar?
edit: I misread more as in more than the non-essential.
That isn’t the argument. The argument is that they should be paid a living wage, not that they should be paid more than anybody else.

ah I see. I miss read “more.”
I may have had a strong buzz at the time.
Ah, so you liken people you deem less than you to inanimate objects, cool
Not what the classist asshole who probably deserves the wall did here, and you know it.
That’s literally what he did, yes. You support Hamas so your opinions are invalid anyways.

Because it invalidates your opinion on everything, imo. Shows a lack of critical thinking and shows you think you know more than you actually do.
