60%+ of the United States work force, roughly 78.6m people, is predominantly in fields with notoriously low wages.
What defines a "field with notoriously low wage"?

Because if you define a fast food employee as not making $20+/hour as "notoriously low wage" then you got your priorities wrong.

Jobs are paid the level they are due to the ease of entering, the level of education required, and mainly, the number of available applicants for said job.

If you have a job that requires zero post-high school education, can start without any training, but nobody wants to do, that job will pay more than one that have 5 billion applicants. It is simple economics (which I feel like you and a few others here have zero knowledge of).

Just testing. And only in certain locations, and only GMs.

The entirety of food service, outside of celebrity chefs, are notoriously underpaid.

Sous Chefs, in today's environment, are typically required to have a bachelors in culinary, with additional business classes having been taken, and 2+ years of practical experience outside of school.

What type of experience you need depends on the place. 5 years of steakhouse experience? Too bad, we needed 2 years of banquet experience. etc.

$44,674 average salary in California, maybe an additional bonus if you manage to stay significantly under budget.

Factor in that the demands of the job is realistically looking at 60+ hour weeks with no overtime because salary, and they're effectively making $15.50 an hour. No holidays off, scarce vacation time, etc.

There is no over paid, there is no under paid. People are paid exactly what they negotiate, which ultimately determines their value as an employee.

Don't like it? Tough move to a country that doesn't have a free labor market like North Korea. Everytime I hear someone complaining about low pay I can pick it apart a d it's a lack of motivation and commitment that is the root cause. They want the rewards of a high skill / high risk position without putting in the effort to achieve it. Yes a good job is an achievement in a free society not a right.

Amazing, white guy drives into a crowd, shoots a Black dude, threatens everyone near him, then runs to the police with a gun and gets arrested without getting the ***kicked out of him.

Unlike most people they've been maiming, he literally shot someone in front of them.

So, yeah, kinda. Can crack a harmless old dudes head open with no remorse, but gotta gently arrest the aggressive gunman.

Checks out.

Edit: you mean live rounds so they can miss the gunman and accidentally kill innocent civilians? *** no.

Would have loved a tear gas canister to the face though. They haven't been shy about doing that ***at point blank range to protesters.

I mean, an asswhoopin' wouldn't have been out of line. He attempted to murder dozens of people and shot someone.

walked up to cops, gun in hand and they didn't ***themselves? and then he ran half a block through the protestors that he just drove into. To turn himself in?

Nothing about that makes sense at all.

Not a "white guy" btw.

I'm assuming because they read the twitter post right on the link but didn't read down below. Probably jumped the gun on that sure, but also it's like.. real hard to do the detective work by all of you isn't it?

So if cops get physical with someone they are horrible pigs who should burn for an eternity.

If they don't, they should have...? It's getting blurry!

But yeah, that was all weird. Almost like Alfonzo there was trying to do the, suicide by cop and they just looked at him.

No, but you'd think the OP would be held to this same standard...

Corrected that for you.

The guy in question drove into a crowd and shot a guy. He's fair game.

There's reasonable force and excessive force.

Killed for a counterfeit $20 excessive force.

Shot with rubber bullets in the head excessive force.

Walk up to cops with a *** gun in your hand after shooting someone, I'm cool with you beatin his ***.

Better be careful or you're going to get tossed out by your like-minded brethren with the rest of us sodomites with that kind of thinking.
