I don't lie to anyone except my employer. They are not owed any explanation or insight into my personal life, and personally I feel that that is the only acceptable instance for me to lie at this point in my life.

Circumstances change, but I generally try and lie as little as possible.

And if you own a house that is being flooded, just sell the flooded house and move you fucking idiot.

Atheism just means that you have yet to find a reason to believe in God or some higher power. It is not a belief system, it is a lack of reason to believe in any belief system.

My parents spent most of their time getting drunk and trying to be 18 again. I wouldn't really call that a good setup for their kids.

I absolutely agree, there's skill in almost any job. But that's a whole other argument I didn't want to get into with this dude.

Tbh I imagine an actually unskilled job is being the CEO of a large corporation

The CEO could not do what a package handler or driver does. That is also a fact.

Unskilled jobs still NEED to be done. They are NOT OPTIONAL. That is also a fact.

Do you believe that unskilled laborers do not deserve to be paid a living wage? Do you happen to know what the living wage in your nearest major city is? I ask because that's where all of the ups part timers work. They are not able to live in low income towns and rural areas because that's not where the hubs are.

Mechanics make very good money with ups because of the union. This specific negotiation was for part time workers and drivers, negotiating higher base pay for all part timers and drivers, AC in drivers trucks, and better benefits.

The contract for mechanics and pilots will largely remain the same because again, these are some of the more lucrative jobs at ups.

The union ceases to exist without the companies that have unionized. What you are saying is antithetical to the idea and nature of a union.

The CEO of ups made $19 million last year. I think they can afford to pay her less and their actual workers more.

In the US we take like four to six years of Spanish and walk away with "donde estas la biblioteca" and "donde esta el baño."
