  1. A lot of minimum wage discourse today. We should prob take a step back and recognize how normalized the idea that some people don't deserve to pay the bills actually is in America

      There's an arbitrary set of jobs that we just decided make you a loathsome and unworthy human being. People legitimately walk into the grocery store or restaurant, look the bagger or waitress or fast food chef in the eye and basically think "I'm okay if you're suffering"

        And a lot of it is due to a capitalist construction of the self. Workers who are getting screwed over at $20/hr in an Amazon warehouse legitimately hate fast food workers getting screwed over at $8/hr more than they hate the people screwing them over. What a trick!
