And where, pray tell, did the resources that allowed those schools to be built come from, not to mention the materials, the fuel to shift those
materials around, the books, the computer terminals etc etc etc
You think they magically appeared, or do you think maybe that some "monkey" as you put it assembled them for your elitist self to use?
And who made you arbiter of what is or isn't an important job?
You think think the "monkey" who assembled some of the components for the computer you're using to be all high and mighty from does an umimportant
job?
Do you think that the person who dug the trenches for the fibre optic cables you're using is a monkey?
You think a sewage worker is below your conetempt?
(no, your spelling, however.....
)
Try doing without any of these and then communicate to the world how much better you are.
Because basically that's the worst argument I've ever heard and smacks of elitism and over-cooked ego.
"And who made you arbiter of what is or isn't an important job?"
You asked, I answered, so I guess the answer to your question is "YOU"!
Clearly you can not see the difference between work which requires education, training and time to learn, and work which anyone anytime can do with no
education/training.
Clearly you can not understand my reference, so I will explain.
My reference to any monkey can do means jobs which require no education, no training or real thinking.
(sorry if that was beyond your grasp)
Now, as for where did the resources come to build schools, it came from people like me who work and pay taxes.
Also, it came from my student fee's which I worked and payed myself.
"You think a sewage worker is below your conetempt?"
No, and I never said so, a CLEAR LIE from you.
That said, a sewage worker does not require years of education and training to do their job.
Therefore they do not deserve as high a pay as I receive.
BTW, same pay for unequal work is Communist Ideology.
I am not a Communist.
I don't support Communist ways.
