If only.
In my experience, no matter how you spell it out doesn't work. You can get them to agree (common example a few years back was EMT workers making 15/hr) that EMT needs to make more. You can get em to agree that if McD upped their pay EMT be tempted to change jobs to something easier.. but then when you finally try to close the deal and get em to say "yes more pay!" They instantly melt back into their Fox/Facebook programming loop.
People whom I respected all my life fail this concept no matter how much I can make em agree on some details. Problem is they already made up their mind (shitty jobs get shitty pay) and will not budge.
Also if you wanna crack the simulation ask em who's gonna Flip Borger during school hours (it's a job for teens!!!) They've never came up with a response to that but can't agree with it either.
As for your last point, i feel it bears saying: young people deserve a real wage for their time, too. A job "for teens" is not an excuse to take advantage of people.
Absolutely. 1000% agree.
I love how many pro youth people I keep finding in the fediverse. I've gotten absolutely lit up for advocating for young people on the R.
Not least because paying younger people less means they can drive the pay for adults down.
If you want to crack the simulation break away from society and live a life of solitude away from societies influence
Capitalism is a prison that has turned people into nameless parts of an exploitative machine that produces lavish lives for the rich elite that gaslight the same people they exploit
