They pay just enough to survive, but not enough to plan for the future, improve your position in life, or be finacially stable enough to be a thoughtcrime troublemaker.
The only people that benefit from the current system are the executive for fortune 500 companies. They buy junk to sell us made by slaves, they capture 99% of the profit in the importation step and then they avoid paying any taxes with legal.paperwork scams through Ireland, channel islands etc.
The people who work at amazon warehouses are slaves too. Being a slave is about being abused in a working environment. It has nothing to do with racism.
They make the crap, make slave wages, amazon flys it over and makes all the $$$. You should get excited about that.
If I had not bought a house, I would have no savings. Yay inflation. Jobs don't pay enough and social security won't be there when you need it.
Anyone that is thinking of depending of govt for your long term financial stability, should consider if the most important vulnerable years in their lives, should depend on random govt employees and funds invested in politicians friends scams.
Companies like this hire based on how much they suspect they can push the employee to produce beyond what they need to pay them.
Recent immigrants are fertile territory. They don't know the laws really and are just so happy to have a job in the new country etc. They will put up with a lot of unpaid overtime.
Our favorite globalist progressive companies with all the right virtue signalling about diversity, move jobs to country with fewer laws everytime something gets unionized. They do it for our safety.
It's classic divide and conquer strategy. The peasants are too distracted fighting about idiocy like whether a drug is republican or democrat. Meanwhile the billionaire's are carving up our assets to distribute to themselves.
Own nothing (rent it from us) and be happy with your new life as a serf.
You are talking about union construction workers here. They are only used on commercial jobs mostly.due to the price. All the good trade people work commercial and get paid well. Residential is left with people that can't get the good union jobs mostly.
