Well given that you don’t seem to care about your neighbors well being, I pity them.

I’m not the one who started throwing around misinformation and miseducation about employment opportunities that impact my neighbors, you did.

You want an adult conversation? Go talk to someone who relies on those jobs you’re so fond of disparaging.

Take care Richard.

None of my neighbors work at Goodwill.

And you were the one who said you wanted an adult conversation. You've shown none of that.

Also, I'm disparaging the job for the same reason all the disabled people in the articles I pasted that you didn't apparently read are complaining about them, so it's pretty ironic that you're claiming I'm the one who doesn't care about the well being of the people who rely on those jobs... by saying they should be paid more.

None of your neighbors work at goodwill, but how many of them rely on it?

That’s the point. You can’t see two feet past the disabled argument & so you’ve taken to disparaging jobs that non disabled people benefit & rely on. Aka, YOUR NEIGHBORS.

Once again, I’ll refer you to your local goodwill for an adult conversation. Go talk to someone who has just reentered the workforce & tell them the job they rely on should disappear because you don’t like it.

Go on, actually interact with these people if you’re so certain they don’t need the help those jobs offer.

You don’t care about the reality behind those jobs, you only care about how good it makes you feel to prattle on about corporate ills on the internet, rather than truly get involved.

Like I said, take care Richard.

I'm pretty sure I never said Goodwill shouldn't hire people at all, so I have no idea where you're getting that from.

I just am saying, much as the disabled people who work at Goodwill are saying, that they deserve to be paid more.

Why don't you agree?
