    Thank you.

    I was going to mention the moving of the goalposts but I think you’ve done that nicely.

    I’m sure the inventors made bank. I shudder to think how many of those workers in this technological age are earning minimum wage.

    No matter how hard you grind, minimum wage is minimum wage and inflation is inflation.

    One goes up every year. The other does not.

    As to how I’m personally exploited? Well I live in Australia where massive tax breaks are given to wealthy property investors which allow them gentrify entire urban areas. Wealthy politicians own multiple properties which only incentivises them further.

    The people that grew up in those areas are priced out of their own market. There is a massive housing crisis down here in Australia and it’s all a result of rampant capitalism.

      The other user is definitely of the mindset that just because they got lucky enough to get a job that they enjoy and make good money from, that everyone shares that privlage and the same opportunities they’ve been given in life. Unfortunately some people just can’t understand that not everyone is born to the same level of fortune.

      No matter how hard you grind, minimum wage is minimum wage and inflation is inflation.

      This makes no sense, if you are grinding you should be improving, I have no idea how you got the idea that grinding means working 80 hours a week in a shit job to go no where.

      This is like pre-grinding: aim higher than a minimum wage shitjob? who seriously aims this low?
