Way to get played by the big man. Making you fight amongst yourselves.

If it cost less to use machines to pack those boxes, you know they would be using machines and not people.

It’s really helps the system when our capitalist overlords give us someone to look down on though. People who get sucked in by the propaganda will fight when some is trying to take that from them.

Working class fighting among each other and Rich enjoy the benefits.

"Skilled work", please.

Image Transcription:

X/Twitter post by a redacted user with a profile picture of a man wearing a Santa Claus hat reading "I make $16hr packing boxes at the Amazon distribution center. I'll be damned if the niggas that's flipping burgers make as much money as me doing skilled labor."

A response by a redacted user with a red-haired woman as their profile picture reads "Bezos makes $150,000/minute and pays you $16/hr but you're mad at checks notes McDonald's fry cooks?"

If the skill set you offer is in demand and the pool of people is too small to meet demand you make a lot of money for that skill set. If the skill set you offer doesn't require much, something that anyone can easily pickup, and the pool of people to pick from is over saturated -- you get paid less for that skill set.

This isn't true in practice.

In actual reality, instead of hopeful, idealized economic bibble bobble, even skilled or in demand professionals get underpaid because the magical market for labor everyone conjures up in their mind palaces doesn't actually exist, and corporations collude constantly to suppress wages and even steal them.

This is correct. Almost no one is making what they should be, and we know where that money's gone instead.
