    The hardest jobs I’ve had have all been the lowest paying.

    Higher paying jobs tend to have higher entry requirements but it also means the employer actually values you (like, literally places a high monetary value on you because at the end of the day that is what capitalism demands)

    This idea that low paying jobs are easy is wrong. Being replaceable makes you vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.

      Yep.

      It’s the way market forces work.

      Markets aren’t moral. So while this is how it works, that doesn’t make it good. It’s so important for governments to protect workers for exactly this reason.

      On this front, America is a literal joke.
