    First, I don’t think “unskilled jobs” is used correctly most of the time and agree with you 99%. My quibble is that people often say “unskilled jobs” to mean “jobs that can be learned to do adequately without prior experience.” Some, not most, of the jobs you show fit that category. I wish we had a corrolary to this meme to express the benefit employers get from employees who become skilled at these roles. Purely economically, if I am a manager who can hire someone who has gained great experience and can hit the job running day 1 at an “unskilled” job instead of having to train and performance manage a truly “unskilled” candidate, it would easily justify a 50-100% pay increase as it reduces the cost of management by more than that.


  • I didn’t say high ticket prices was inflation. I was explaining my original “evidence” comment was to reflect inflation not “don’t be poor” and now I’m being critiqued for not re-writing the original story in the comments like people seem to want.

    I hate Ticketmaster as much as anyone, and think the DOJ should absolutely pursue them, but the fact people can’t afford ticket prices is also because people are stretched financially more than ever before, which is a much bigger issue than just

    I’m going to assume someone will now down vote me for not predicting some other third assumption that they will jump to. Great!
