    You immediately changed the core of the discussion to fit your view not to actually discuss the matters at hand.

    “Unskilled labour” = job you can be trained in, in under two months

    “skilled labour” = decades of education and experience requiring acute professionalism in order to not kill people

    No one said the barista can’t have a house, I specifically said, IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, “you expect a barista to be paid as much as a surgeon or nurse”.

    No. Because you do not deserve the pay of a surgeon or nurse and you do not have the expenses of a surgeon or nurse.

    FYI medical school is extremely expensive, and so is post secondary education in any form. I say this because your clear illustration of ineptitude leads me to believe you have very little formal education, if any.

      Yeah, your argument is bad. I think the number of people who legitimately think, “a barista should be paid the same as a surgeon!” are in an extreme minority. What’s not in the minority, however, are the number of people who attempt to justify poverty wages for people working jobs that don’t require as much training. The person you responded to was justified in calling your argument a leap because it is

        It’s a leap for anyone who has poor reading comprehension and refuses to engage in the topic and would rather push a view.

          So sad that this perfectly describes what you are doing.

      You don’t understand the argument then.

      No one saying unskilled labor is really skilled labored because it hurts the unskilled persons feelings. They are saying by calling something unskilled it is justification for them not making a living wage.

      No where in the OP did they say all laborers should be paid the same.

        Every time that meme is presented (or any form of 'unskilled labour isn’t real opinions) there’s a foray of incompetent tools pushing the belief that communism or some form of ‘geared wages’ is going to fix the problem with monopolies and greedy billionaires.

        I, and most other comments here, are presenting a reality that ‘unskilled labour’ is real, and no one is trying to justify poverty wages, we’re justifying a reality that education does in fact make a difference for monetary gain
