Ever seen someone doing their “unskilled job” all their life? It’s just fucking magic!
The truth is that capitalists hate skilled workers, because those workers have bargaining power. This is why they love the sort of automation which completely removes workers or thought from the equation, even if the ultimate solution is multiple times more expensive or less competent than before.
Nothing is more infuriating to a boss, than a worker that can talk back with experience.
Thank you for making feel I matter when I was stuck in a “unskilled job”
You do. The most infuriating thing is that there’s people out there who would love to do some of these “unskilled jobs” and are very very good at it. But nobody does it out of choice when they would have to endure massive exploitation, not to mention humiliation.
In an ideal world I’d love to work some of those instead of a desk job.
Another World Is Possible
You matter.
And honest work is honest work. That deserves respect regardless of how much education or paperwork or luck it takes to start.
