I think everyone should be paid a lot higher than they are, inflation has been brutal and wages have been relatively stagnant for a long time, but I’m getting really exhausted of this Canada Post strike. They’re far and above the best paid unskilled workers, with pensions to boot. I don’t want to advocate for a race to the bottom, but when so many people right now are desperate for any work and slave away at shit jobs for minimum wage, the optics of Canada Post strikers screwing people out of passports and gifts during the holidays is just exhausting.
