o is that a fact? you know everyone on the internet? lol. Did you know, anyone that says people who brag about their salary are making minimum wage are actually just jealous?
The Irish had it bad in America during the potato famine. You'd never see a sign today telling Latinos not to apply for a job or housing today
Oh trust me Jopo, I'd never be jelous of anyone who sells themselves as a slave for a dollar amount per hour. Commission is the only way to be free to earn what you're worth
How is the potato famine today? You dont see a sign telling Irish people to not apply for jobs or housing today either.
I don't think Wednesday was more or less saying that us Irish never had it bad, but that we no longer face the discrimination we once did on such a mass systemic scale. And I believe she is correct in that notion, at least in North America. The discrimination the Irish face in our homeland by English colonists is another tale.
Sell as a slave, lol. Nah. I can call off whenever I want to, actually. Yesterday we worked 18 hours (with a 1hr lunch in between). I could have said "im going home" but nah. If I can handle it, I'll take as many job offers as I can.
I do demolition not construction lol. Pay varies from county to county but typically between $28-46/hr. Public school jobs are in the $60's
Oh I usually just group construction and demolition in the same job group in my head. But either way again, technically it sounds like a commission based job
Partially. But it is primarily (quoting wikipedia) Type of site: Crowdsourced funding I tend to think of commissions as something direct between 2 parties, with the commissioner telling the creator exactly what they want and only lending money if that is what they see. With Patreon people support artists doing their stuff. They don't demand that they do what they want in order for them to have money. It's different, though some may only subscribe for membership if the artist makes what they ask, then that's on them.
Ah. Most people I know use it as a commission site, typically artists. But crowdsourced funding makes sense I suppose. Broadens the possible userbase.
I imagine that commissions come on top of the membership and crowdsourcing you get. 99% sure creators on that site can't purely do commissioned work without getting crowdsourced money. But it's more than possible to get crowdsourced without doing any commissions.
My point is this, if Irish immigrants whom came to our country legally and stood in line for days to register as citizens after spending months in deplorable conditions in boats and were treated worse than animals once they got here. What makes y'all think the way we treat Latino immigrants is so bad? Even the ones who sneak into our country illegally and do not register as citizens are treated with respect and given opportunities that the Irish would've killed for. Change is a slow process, and we've come leaps and bounds in just 100 years.
You will never be worth more than your hourly rate no matter how hard you work. You've put a price tag on your time. You've put a price tag on your life. Some hours I can make $10, other hours I can make $20,000. My work is valued by what I accomplish. This is why you work 18 hours a day, and I work for 2-3.
But that doesn't cancel out other people's hardships. Saying, "Well other people had it worse" is such a weak counterargument. Like, no one is saying that the two issues are comparable in the severity. If Samantha broke her arm, but Jeff has cancer, you can't tell Samantha that she has no issue because Jeff has it worse. Yes, of course someone is going to have it worse. Black slaves had it worse than we Irish did. But that doesn't mean we didn't endure hardship, and thus doesn't mean Mexican and other Latine Americans are not enduring hardship either. Jopo works demolition and demolition is commission, too. His pay rate changes with which type of job it is and who is paying for the demolishing.
