Working hard does not equal valuable work.

I could take a rock and move it around my yard 40 hours a week, yeah I'm working my ass off, but I'm not bringing value to anyone.

We pay for labor the most accurately way we've ever found, by individuals deciding for themselves how much they are willing to pay for the labor, and how much the individual laborer is willing to do the work for. If you have a better way to figure that out down to an individual level I'd sure love to hear it.

The government deciding how much to charge and pay for jobs they know nothing about doesn't make any sense though, that's why communism keeps failing.

All work is valuable? What if I take a rock and move it from one side of my property to the other, and then back over and over for 40 hours a week?

Not all work is valuable, and not all jobs are equally valuable.

Admitting to basic logic isn't traitorous no matter how badly you want to pretend. You sound like a communist lol.

You think people in the North are less shitty than the South?

I slid into a ditch the other day during an ice storm. I was a little worried since it was almost night, I was far from home, tow trucks were backed up for hours, I was low on gas, and it was approaching 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

Luckily I live in the South and had 3 different people stop to make sure I was okay and offer me a ride and one of them even pulled my car out. Everyone here is so nice, almost too nice sometimes. I've had similar turnouts when I was just pulled over on the side of the road not needing assistance. Constantly having to wave people on because they were so willing to help someone they thought was in need. It's not like I was some pretty young Southern girl either, I'm a middle aged hairy guy...

I lived in Baltimore for a couple years and got a very contrasting experience. Where I live, you make eye contact at the store, you smile, and you move on, maybe a nod. NOT IN BALTIMORE! These people act like you're some sort of psychopath if you even look at them. I made eye contact with this guy and started yelling at me asking what my problem was. I thought I was going to get into a fight with this guy just for being polite!

Obviously he didn't care too much if he's willing to show his face acting like this while they know his name.

If he doesn't want to be associated with this behavior, he shouldn't behave this way.
