These little summer jobs and flipping burgers are fine, but it's offloading all the menial grueling slave labor that Mexicans were paid nothing for off to the American youth and reinforced the idea that some jobs just have to be slave labor. The idea that it's okay to have jobs with shit hours, shit pay, no benefits is retarded. I'm not saying teenagers need perfect jobs, but it's creating that expectation that work needs to be grueling and miserable and dehumanizing so some boomer retard can afford a second condo to rent out and that's just how the system has to work. It goes back to the idea that if the system can't guarantee people decent jobs that they can afford to live on, own a home, support a family, what's the point in supporting the system?
It just doesn't sit right with me, there should be a push for workers to be paid what they're owed and worth instead of the continuing exploitation that the US loves because god forbid we talk about class.
