@ccolocho@cybre.space Counter-take: All people deserve to make 80K+ and just 'cause capitalism is killing some folks less than others doesn't mean those people aren't entitled to their wages

hot take 

@mawr @ccolocho I don't think either of these takes is contradictory as the "80k" in this question is mostly about how one task is artificially elevated and the other artificially lowered and in a (more) ideal world both programming and retail (and all other labor) would be treated respectfully and equally important.

@IrisKalmia @ccolocho@cybre.space I just don't think it's productive for the lower and middle classes to fight each other when the real problem here continues to profit while we're distracted

hot take 

@mawr @ccolocho A good point! I guess I just parsed it as talking about the artificial valuation of arbitrary but vital roles and didn't think about the underclass struggle.
