I threw a watermelon at a customer when I was a retail clerk way back in the day. And Im a pretty chill guy. I'm not a nazi with rage issues or anything like all of you.

That's why I got me a job at Subway. I make sandwiches that are now like $15 each. At 20% tip per sandwich, that's $3 per sandwich. I can make 20 sandwiches an hour. I make more than my brother who learned to code.

Lower wages is a function of more debt and interest rates.

Only way this keeps going is if you have some labor pool that is willing to absorb inflation and keep the lights on. In real terms the only way we continue going forward is if real wages keeps declining.

This is a reddit bullshit graph. It says hourly wages barely increased in 40 years but if you look up data you'll see it changed from ~$4/hr in 1973 to $16/hr in 2013

I'm fuckin sick of this reddit tier bullshit. Highschool dropouts think everything should be free and the billionaires should pay for it, but in reality that is impossible and will never happen, so they're just bitching over nothing. It's like an endless bitch factory

Wait until you realize pricing is mostly artificial and they are choosing to pay you peanuts and rape your wallet over simple groceries for record profits
