    I reject the entire premise. There are a ton ton ton of jobs that are way easier to deal with than working in fast food or retail. The “marketable skill” trope is just more classist bullshit so you can focus on the guy barely squeaking by instead of the record corporate profits and massive CEO compensation. I would be willing to bet actual dollars that anyone complaining about these folks making too much money wouldn’t last a single shift.

    Also, we’re talking about fucking California. Even in the low-cost areas of CA, $20/hr still means roommates and ramen.
