Yes Im aware of the difference. I guess the issue is that I dont see the people who are not making it being the economies fault, primarily because I have 3 adult children and 3 adult step children between 25 and 39 and they are ALL doing ok financially. One is just getting by, the the other five are already making more money and living more comfortably than I did at their age and they’re doing it on their own, with no help from us. So I have a hard time understanding why anyone cant make IF they want to bad enough in Canada. The opportunities are here (2 of my kids are self starting entrepreneurs) if you work hard enough. Yes, wages are stagnant if you’re working retail at a mall, but no one’s stopping anyone from upgrading their education and getting a better job. Our immigrants do it, Canadians can do it too.
So everyone within your very close, related circle is doing ok and that’s indicative of the diverse country as a whole?
Wages are stagnant for everyone. I’m an architectural technologist and wages are absolutely getting worse year over year despite it being an important, educated, in demand job. The fact that you think I’m talking about mall retail points only to your complete failure to have a shred of empathy for the poor and for any kind of job you don’t understand. Also, retail seems to be pretty fucking important and shouldn’t be thrown aside and allowed to have stagnant wages either, you broken twat.
Dude. one of my kids is a house cleaner. Give up your prejudiced opinion. But the difference between her and the average retail worker is she decided to start her own company and has now got enough work she can hire another worker. And she works her ass off scrubbing other people’s toilets, bathtubs and sinks for hours a day on her knees.
There IS a way out of the hole if a person is motivated enough. But I dont have sympathy for those who aren’t motivated enough to bust their asses to move up the ladder.
You think people aren’t trying? You think their problem is a lack of motivation? They’re doing a job we’ve deemed important enough to have and you have no idea what they’re going through or how much it demands of them yet you think they deserve shit pay because you don’t respect them. The only reason you treat your kid any differently is because you know them personally but you can’t extend that to a stranger because you’re broken. I can’t fix you and I don’t know what can, but I guess empathy just doesn’t come stock in everyone.
