Thanks for the clarification, I had been under the impression that a military school was supposed to prepare you for the military, not try to 'reform' you for the public.

Now I know even more about a man I objectively dislike. I don't know how I feel about that.

The people that write laws and the systems that enforce laws are inept to an unbeliavable degree when dealing with anything cyber related so I have less than zero expectations that this gets reversed and actually expect a worse outcome should there be an appeal.

Because somehow only the most incompetent morons appear to be able to make it to judge or law maker.

It's almost like Nintendo had every opportunity over the last 30 years to release pokemon on pc and it's their own fault for pretending like we still exist in an era of console exclusivity.

Go palworld go. Not interested myself but glad there's real competition to nintendo's bullshit now

You are missing the point of what I said or are intentionally misrepresenting what I said.

I definitely thought his daddy bought his way out of military school using the excuse of 'heel spurs'.

I could be wrong though, I only heard about it in passing I was never terribly interested in DJT

The comment by 520 is pretty much spot on. In the event our office areas are attacked every single person in uniform is considered a rifleman, regardless of age gender or creed it is expected that you are to pick up a rifle and return fire as needed or assist with moving injured personnel to a safer location.

An example of medical qualification is wisdom teeth. A fun fact about the military I served with, every single person has their wisdom teeth pulled and gets a shop lecture on proper dental hygiene. The reason for this is so that we don’t have to send a team of 8-10 to return a person from the front due to wisdom teeth issues or hygiene issues causing health problems.

This article brought to you by someone who doesn't understand current era military technology and training and fundamentally doesn't understand warfare.

Former military here and if I get a 70 year old willing to do paperwork for the army so I can move one more person to labour intensive operations, you bet your ass that old man is getting a pay cheque (assuming he passes the medical quals)

A janitor is skilled labour though.

So the issue is already moot because people don't even understand the nuances in the job market.

A janitor can kill people if they don't do their job properly, or themselves, if they use any of their tools improperly. It can take several years for a professional cleaner to become well trained.

An unskilled labour position would be a cashier or barista. A farmer requires years of training and should be paid according to the amount of effort it takes to become a trained farmer. The cook (used to) require a red seal, which is several years training, now days it's microwave/fry/flip and is thus unskilled into robot replacement.

The examples even used in the meme suck. The landscaper and construction workers are absolutely skilled labour.

This is trying to 'equalize' the job market but you can't do that. Different jobs require different training and you should be paid accordingly. The only people 'justifying' poverty wages are the billionaires, no one else thinks that 7 dollars is appropriate, however, by trying to push this meme the OP and a lot of people in the replies are trying to pretend like 'any job that doesn't have a degree associated is 'unskilled labour' according to capitalists' but that's not the case, and even the investing market doesn't believe that, i.e. 'da capitalists'.

It's a leap for anyone who has poor reading comprehension and refuses to engage in the topic and would rather push a view.

Every time that meme is presented (or any form of 'unskilled labour isn't real opinions) there's a foray of incompetent tools pushing the belief that communism or some form of 'geared wages' is going to fix the problem with monopolies and greedy billionaires.

I, and most other comments here, are presenting a reality that 'unskilled labour' is real, and no one is trying to justify poverty wages, we're justifying a reality that education does in fact make a difference for monetary gain

You immediately changed the core of the discussion to fit your view not to actually discuss the matters at hand.

"Unskilled labour" = job you can be trained in, in under two months

"skilled labour" = decades of education and experience requiring acute professionalism in order to not kill people

No one said the barista can't have a house, I specifically said, IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, "you expect a barista to be paid as much as a surgeon or nurse".

No. Because you do not deserve the pay of a surgeon or nurse and you do not have the expenses of a surgeon or nurse.

FYI medical school is extremely expensive, and so is post secondary education in any form. I say this because your clear illustration of ineptitude leads me to believe you have very little formal education, if any.
