You know they're (a) thick as a brick because that kind of "street cred" only ever gets women in trouble and (b) are obviously men or some REALLY sheltered women.
You are seperating people by how much they earn, which is precisely why we are here. The sanitation workers retail workers and more deserve 60k, 80k salaries, which is what they were earning equivalent of back post-union-fixes and in a less horrible society.
They are salaried workers who do not own the output of their labor. Whether they are knowledge workers or not means little; "I can survive 1 year out of my job rather than 1 month like retail workers" means little. They deserve to be paid a livable wage.
Work is work. Talking about "unskilled" labor is just a way to pit us against each other instead of looking at the Capitalist who's making a killing off our sweat
the united states has convinced do many people that MLK day is a day of service. MLK wasn't interested in "service," he was interested in the redistribution of wealth to render poverty obsolete. Less service, more redistribution
