It's almost like unskilled jobs that anybody can do aren't paid well... It's almost like when you've got a large supply and low demand, the price goes down... It's almost like skilled jobs that very few people can do pay more...
I give them my upper and my lower limits and have walked out of at least one interview where their upper limit for the role was $10k short of my lower limit.

No Poverty?
By what standard?
The poor today are INFINITELY better off than the poor of 50 years ago.
Hell - do you remember when owning a Colour TV or being able to travel overseas by Air was the sole domain of the super rich?
This line of argument I am seeing more and more often, to the point where I'm beginning to think it isn't just rose-tinted wishful thinking, but actual deliberate deception.

What you have written makes zero sense.
The potential Employer is under no obligation to give you a Salary estimate.
If they refuse to disclose, then you are under no obligation to take the job.
And you do know that you can ask upfront what the Salary expectations are? Especially if the job advert was vague and didn't specify.
"Excuse me, just before we continue too much further - My Salary expectations are in the $95-120k range, your advert popped up in my search filters but it was a little vague in this regard. Is this in line with what you are expecting for this oppertunity?"
And even before then, where I've applied for jobs that had vague wording as to the nature of the role, I've had employers come back to me and ask what my expectations are in regards to Salary - before the interview stage (in one instance it was because they were actually wanting a more entry level position, which I was waaaaay over qualified for)

Pommy Union Leaders and Award Wages....that brings back memories, can't say I miss those days.
" out the gate for 48" ( in a Belfast accent...yeah I know not really Pommy)
I ask the salary range on the first phone call, saves a lot of time.
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Back then there were no smashed avacado sandwiches either. Back then expectations were basic, and consumption reflected that. My first cellphone was a work tool for work use only. Now a 6 year old child has to have a smartphone, otherwise they are considered below the poverty line.
I didn't need a car of my own, I was happy to share family car. Now every 16 year old expects wheels of some sort from the parents or the State. Whats wrong with walking or taking the bus.
Yep ... some people made as much as $10.49 per hour ...
Simply because ... they're not fucking allowed to pay less to useless lazy pricks that don't want to work ...
It gives those employers a giggle ... with the ridiculous sums asked for. But those qualified ... and with experience to match ... usually get what they ask for. If not more ...
Yep ... 49 cents above minimum wage ...
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
There are people going hungry and living in exceptionally shite conditions and you dumb fuckers think they deserve it? If the poor didn't exist, the value of the $ would be absolute pants. Maybees you should learn how things work, externalities n all, coz ya'll are about as far from the truth as possible as is evidenced by your ignorant diatribe. There's plenty of food and resources to go around, the poor simply don't have the money. The average household spends 17% of its budget on food. 17% of $1000 is ever so slightly less than 17% of $100. End of story. Anything other than that is some form of false moral narrative that's been poured down your throat by your parents who also swallowed the same shit from their parents etc... "Insanity: Doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results." - Einstein. You dumb fucks don't learn anything, because your mum told you. Then again, at least we know that your parents were twats too and really shouldn't be surprised by the bullshit you spout as knowledge. Dumb fucks.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
