All sass no substance. Man, I'd love, just love for someone to say this to me while on the job, oh we'd go. It'd make my fucking year, I live for it. Man I wish we worked the same job smitty, we could put your words to the test, but alas, old man, we don't. Too bad.
If you could see how silly you look right now..

Killing yourself for shit pay is not impressive in any way. Billions of people have done it. I'm sure most of us here have done it. The last time you were in here signalling your value with all the jobs you were working, Nuke told you you were wasting your time on so many crap jobs, and that you'd be better off looking for one job that paid better. The key ingredient being a skill, not muscle.

Maybe no one ever explained this to you, but you want to work with your brain, not your body.

Does this "common man" you speak of try to advance his skillsets through certificates that make him a more specialized, adept, hard-working backbreaking common man?

I'm not saying respect shouldn't be afforded to folks who are upwardly mobile, but shitting on people who work hard, put in their days? I don't see any sense in that. Hard work is hard work regardless. Worthy of respect.

That's childish romantic thinking. You're supposed to grow out of that. Hard work that doesn't pay off isn't anything to be proud of.

Poverty in and of itself isn't a virtue. It has to be something that helps you grow. Every able bodied young person can work long hours of manual labor.

You're looking for a virtue handout to go on top of your minimum wage handout.

Making a shit load of money for doing fuck all, is the actual American dream
This is truth.

Perhaps I can't put it the right way, there's something wrong with America. We.do.not.value.hard.work.

People only respect making a shit load of money for doing fuck all. There's something seriously wrong with that.

Milk just jumped to 11.50 a gallon even though I only make 6.25/hour. I am in a bad spot right now. And jedi complains about spending less than 3.00 on milk. I only buy the most environmentally friendly, gluten free milk that was raised in an ethical way, which explains the price bump.

I know it's morning for the most of you, so what you drinking?

Roomates made some coffee before they went to work, so personally I don't know, but it's good. They like the flavored stuff but hey free coffee is free coffee.
