A tweet saying "100k a year to take someone's order at Taco Bell . Totally makes sense.". It has a reply saying "Where the hell did you get that number? If someone's working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year." the reply has 2 likes.

Could not get it through a coworker's head that there is something fundamentally wrong with expecting people to work at jobs lower than COL. They just say that person should get a better job if it doesn't pay bills... Not everyone gets that opportunity.
Fuck you-got mine mindset.
And someone else will have to fill the position they left behind.
People who argue that certain jobs don't merit a living wage are just admitting that they believe society is dependent upon the economic exploitation of a permanent underclass. This is the same exact argument the pro-slavery movement made prior to the Civil War.
They're just admitting that they think that the folk who put their food on the shelves, answer phones for them and clean the facilities don't deserve a good life.
They have no problem being served by capitalism's underclass.
