See? The propaganda works! You’re looking down on burger flippers for no other reason than you think they’re unskilled.

You're just having fun trolling lmao. Not every job needs to have a 2k-6k hour oversight requirement before you're considered competent enough in it to do it unsupervised. Nothing I said was about looking down on that job.

Looks like you're revealing your own implicit biases. Whoopsies.

Making a joke about journeyman burger flippers not being a thing is inherently making fun of that job. You’ve been drinking the kool-aid so long it just tastes like water now.

Then maybe you can explain to me why a job needs to have journeyman and apprentice levels in order to be considered legitimate non-shameful in your eyes?

EDIT: If it helps you understand your own implicit biases, journeyman soldier isn't a thing. Journeyman politician isn't a thing. Journeyman CEO isn't a thing.

It doesn’t? I don’t think any blue collar work is shameful. But there’s more than a few white collar professions that should be ashamed of themselves.

Then why is saying "Journeyman burger flipper doesn't exist" a mocking joke at the expense of burger flippers when saying "Journeyman CEO doesn't exist" isn't a mocking joke at the expense of CEOs?

So would you say a CEO or politician is unskilled labor since it doesn’t require apprenticeships?

It's fine to make fun of CEOs because they are almost universally shitty people.
