[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just another example of massively overpaying for unskilled and uneducated labor.  The results will be predictable, which are to accelerate the use of automation as much as possible. It’s only a matter of time before they overcompensate themselves out of existence.  Why would anyone with an education and skills accept a lower salary than a UPS truck driver?   Is everyone will be asking for higher wages, which in the end causes a whole bunch of wage driven inflation.  The end result is that UPS drivers get nowhere in terms of real purchasing power as where they were before, and all the country did after terrible wage inflation is just ruin everyone’s life savings in the process.

Companies will also start pulling out of the US as labor becomes massively overcompensated for these simple jobs.[/quote]

Do you get equally upset with the overpaying of CEOs, upper management and in the banking/finance world?

How much revenue does UPS bring in? Who is responsible for that revenue? The people who do the work of delivering packages and doing a good job of it. Tired of people who think workers have no value.

I bet you don't care how little educated, highly skilled teachers make. So it's not the education and skill that you think deserves the big paycheck. It's how high up you are. Even if you're not the one doing the hard work. Pathetic.[/quote]

Are you really this dense?

Can you take any schmo off the street and have them play professional level football or basketball with a high degree of performance? No.

Can you take any schmo off the street with no education and throw them into the CEO role of a multibillion dollar company and have them perform that job without tanking the company? No.

Can you take any schmo off the street to push a gas pedal in a truck and lift boxes? Yes.

That's why sports players and CEOs get paid while uneducated, unskilled labor doesn't. There is far more supply of uneducated, unskilled labor, because the jobs are so mindlessly easy.

And yes, teachers should be making more than a UPS truck driver. That is the point - massively overpaying for unskilled, uneducated labor is pure inflation and will kill UPS due to labor costs. Other jobs will demand more salary than even the UPS  truck drive, because why should a teacher get paid a lot less and require more education?  It just sets off a huge inflationary spiral due to never ending demands for higher wages. In the end purchasing power for teachers and UPS drivers hasn't changed from 20 years ago because inflation has killed all the gains. You just ruined everyone's entire life savings in the process.

You're probably on here telling people who make 100k a year that they are the poors. That to live in the DMV area you really need 500k to be middle class.

Seriously why aren't you questioning the pay at the high end of things. Leave those workers alone. If you're so agog at truck drivers making 100k a year plus benefits why don't you sign up for it? Would you trade your career? Why  not?[/quote]
