Typical politicians and other rich people who promote socialism, really what they want is to shut the door on everyone else so they cant reach the levels they are at in wealth.

Does such a system exist anywhere in the world at this time?
If so I will check it out.

Bull, the guy cleaning toilets at the arena is getting crap from the athletes.
Their contracts only cover their own butts.

don't get me wrong I agree he's a fraud, but this would have been very interesting if some CEO's actually showed up
FORCED anything in government always ends up bad, any non voluntary system is bad

Well first off clearly the jobs are not solely intended for students that just a common fallacy. You know this though because a student can't work at Wal-Mart at 10AM while they at school. Clearly an adult has to fill the position.
This is an important conversation to be having though isn't it? Or should we totally ignore the tens of millions of people making 32k or less a year and pretend they are all lazy losers?

actually although the janitorial job is hugely important to the success of the team and the venue they don't matter to the overall mission so really, they aren't important
I would totally go to a game if the bathrooms were never cleaned

the only reason this paradigm is able to exist is because there is an abundant supply of labor in the market otherwise the employers couldn't pull that off

These companies are no different than pimps the way they treat their employees, especially if you listen to the Amazon worker. He said that he always thought he was hitting his goal (for speed in packing - the number's he needed to reach) but whenever he looked he was always at ~ 80%, even when he improved his speed. I worked at an Amazon contractor at a distribution warehouse and they have a moving goalpost where if you can do 100 boxes per day, then your goal for 100% will be 120, so when you look at your 100 box score, it shows about 80% and they hope you will work harder and increase to the 120, which if you do, the number will magically jump to about 144 - which they will attribute to the fact that you are now experienced. Should you reach 144 (I recommend you don't), the number will jump to 174. The thing is once you reach one of these levels, it is now expected of you and you can't go backwards. So even if you hit for a few days, you will from then on be compared to these numbers.

What percentage of employees at Walmart, or at any company can move up any significant amount per year?
Most people dont even get an annual wage increase enough to much offset the inflation rate.
