What are these jobs good for then? How is society benefiting from having people doing this for so little, as opposed to them getting a proper job (that is supposed to support a family)?
- refurb 5y agoBecause not everyone needs to support a family? If a 16 year old needs a job are you saying the jobs should support a family?
- alphabettsy 5y agoThe people quitting their jobs to find a living wage and consistent reasonable working hours at McDonald’s aren't 16 though. They’re the people who these jobs aren’t “intended” for. Now that they’re gone where are all the 16 year olds that these jobs are “intended” for?
- refurb 5y agoThey’ll either find people at that wage or they won’t. I’m not sure I understand the handwringing. If some guy opens a used computer shop and asks $1,000 for an old 486 chip I don’t worry about “who is going to buy it?”.
