> they do the shit jobs! when wages for shit jobs are high then the white collar wages have to rise in accordance with them, if mcdonalds pays $20 an hour like it did in the 1950s adjusted for inflation then the local office can't try to hire on pencil pushers for $20, they have to up it to $30, and the managers also need to be paid more. i'm honestly amazed that this "jobs nobody wants!" thing got any traction, skilled labor is a pyramid and you only get it higher by widening the base.
