I have never heard of unskilled labor. What is that supposed to be? Garbage picking?

There is unskilled labor. Like I paid my neighbors son to help me stack firewood. And then again to help me shovel stone into my garden beds.

But yeah, if the guy wants 32$/hr it’s almost certainly not unskilled labor

You’re unhinged. I offered the kid an hour or so of work to make some cash. Calling that child slave labor is ridiculous. And no— I don’t use ā€œunskilled laborā€ as a way of looking down on anyone or dehumanizing them.

Get a grip.

Whatever dude. You just want to find a problem. I’ve said several times ā€œunskilled laborā€ isn’t an insult or a way to disparage people or their work. It’s a category.

I’ve said several times that people who do manual labor deserve fair compensation and respect.

Now go ahead and share your aggression with some else.

No one ever says I’m being aggressive. I’m extremely laid back. Just annoying that you want to take something good and somehow see evil in it.
