I got two replies and BOTH completely ignore that my entire comment was about just this. I wonder, why do you reply to a comment whose contents you chose to completely disregard?
About the "teens": Low paying jobs are taken only by teens (I would accept even just "statistically speaking")? Hardly. Bad argument since your premise already doesn't pass a smell test.
Nor does that argument make any sense at all. Pay low wages because of "entry job"? That is completely made up after the fact, in order to somehow make paying low pages sound acceptable.
- JesseWright 8y agoFWIW, I read through your entire comment a few times and did not understand that it was about having a surplus of workers for entry-level or low-pay, low-skill jobs. I see that you briefly mentioned it at the beginning, but it didn't seem to be a main point of your post. Maybe I'm just an idiot and missed it entirely, and maybe the other two commenters also just missed it completely, but it really seems as though you didn't convey that point clearly. In the future, it might be worth trying to take a less hostile approach when replying to people who missed the point of what you said.
- Firadeoclus 8y agoI don't think the comment is "about" having a surplus of workers, but pointing to how that argument is a distraction. Putting the cart before the horse, if you will. It simply isn't a valid justification for paying people poorly.
