Go for it, my guy! There’s nothing stopping you from taking that rugged individualist spirit

Knowledge and/or money I’m not stupid enough to walk out into the woods one day with 0 experience and wing it Instead of living off the land the land will live off me

Tell bear grylls to adopt me

So what you’re saying is that, in our capitalist system, it has been made too expensive for you to learn how to live the life you want?

How fascinating!

If only the people with knives drawn in this thread cared half as much about the workers they’re arguing over, as they do about scoring points in an internet debate.

You’ll find that people on the Left have historically cared about workers. Socialists and Communists are why we have worker protections, wage protections and standard workweeks in pretty much every Western country. Leftists in America are fighting to ensure everyone has healthcare, a living wage, affordable housing and affordable education. What are the people on the Right doing again?

@Nillah-uldaman

I wish we had some type of Follow function on the forums. I want to follow you so I can see some more smack downs handed out.

I honestly just despise ignorance and people who literally try to prop up their positions with lies and easily disprovable BS. They forget that the tax rate, when the country as a whole was doing its best, averaged between 70% and 90% for the top earners/corporations.

@Vodkanokers-bladefist

People get paid according to the value they create.

Capitalism really does work.

You want a living wage? Contribute something and create some value.

I don’t want to pay $29 for a Big Mac so you can make a “living wage” asking me if I want a medium or large fry.

Oh look, another uneducated Capitalist who can’t even do the tiniest bit of research regarding the CoL increases associated with wage increases. How shocking!

@Broflake-illidan

deserve to be treated like a human being.

A job and a wage are not a human right. You need to earn your way.

You choose not to go to college? Fine, that’s a legit choice but don’t expect lots of salary.

You do a job that requires no skill and can be replaced by a robot? Sorry, you aren’t going to be paid much.

You get out what you put in.

[Vaelys-alleria]

Not trying to silence anyone. Just voicing my distaste for hypocrisy. People can say whatever they want, i’m just not forced to like it.

[Haavi-barthilas (Haavi)]

Can we just point out that if we are to believe such statements the beautiful irony of your guild name “assisted living”.

[Tewa-hyjal (Tewa)]

I enjoyed that, too.

[Ruggi-turalyon]

Knowledge: I don’t know how to live off the land
and/or
Money: I don’t have the money (or knowledge of reputable places) to pay for someone with the knowledge to teach me.

Oh look, another uneducated Capitalist

Oh look another entitled zero who thinks they should be supported by others

[Broflake-illidan]

How do you know he doesnt?
I’ll give you an example.
Back when I worked a mental health facility, I received a 2% wage increase, escalating to 20% depending on how many years/experience/quality of my workmanship.
I received a whopping…$1.80.
That is about an extra 3k?

Now mind you, this was before i became a licensed medical professional, but that salary I was earning was bad.
More than likely the 50 cent increase was mandated in some way the same way my wage increased at the time was mandated.

@Vodkanokers-bladefist

Oh look another entitled zero who thinks they should be supported by others

So…people asking for a wage to ensure they have a decent life is entitlement?
It is amazing how much people such as yourself, will defend rich millionaires, solely because they’re worried about how they might need to pay more…

@Vodkanokers-bladefist

You do a job that requires no skill and can be replaced by a robot? Sorry, you aren’t going to be paid much.

Weird how those ones are some of the most essential, though.

[Sevenstorms-bleeding-hollow]

Meh, my quality of life is great in this country. I don’t want it ruined by socialism and communism.

All the more reason to build robots for it.

[Sloppynacho-thrall]

@Haavi-barthilas

It’s amazing how many people step up to defend one person earning $31 mil whilst others are making $30k.

Well in a way your right…but also the employee has some responsibility in this…no one is holding a gun to their head and forcing them to work there…

[Ruggi-turalyon]

@Broflake-illidan

How do you know he doesnt?

I don’t! That’s why I said

How do I know he deserves more than a 50 cent raise?

and

I need ALL the information.

[Vaelys-alleria]

Its essential but can be done by literally anyone. Source : 7 Years at Tim Hortons. Once i got my cards for my trade my salary is jumping by $10 an hour for a reason, and its just a Trade.

[Animaul-durotan]

Oh boy you’re naive if that’s how you feel the real world works.

Entitled because I want the richest country in the world to provide basic rights that pretty much every single other industrialized nation can? Maybe you should stop bootlicking the wealthy who would literally walk over your dying, starving body if they saw it in the street because I guarantee that you don’t even make 6 figures a year.

@Sevenstorms-bleeding-hollow

How funny that is, considering you have Socialism and Communism to thank for most of the good things in this country.

Nerf all the CEOs
This is way too unbalanced

So what do you do with all of the employees? Are there suddenly 30 million more spots open for doctors and engineers? How does one get the education to become a “more important” worker when the entry-level jobs are handled by robots?

[Vaelys-alleria]

I don’t know in the US, but here in Canada pretty much every essential trade is STARVED for employees.
