    In my state janitors make $14/hour median. Not even a third of a first year kindergarten teacher.

    That’s not right but this meme is a tankie joke.

      Canadians are tankies… wot?

      Union jobs in schools get a decent wage. The bitter joke is how you folks got uneducated away from economic solidarity.

      Minimum wage is more than $14 an hour in my city in the US and you wouldn’t be able to find someone to do the job without paying twice that anyway.

            Your anecdote is pointless without comparing it to the average teacher salary in your area.

                You do understand that your anecdote wasn’t relevant to the conversation, right?

                The person you responded to said that the minimum wage in their area was significantly less than the salary of a teacher because the post was about janitors making more than teachers.

                Your response was basically just one upping them, which contributed nothing.

                In normal human interaction, people would ask a follow up to that, to try to get you to explain how your interjection pertains to the topic at hand.

                Most people would then expand on their point, but you choose to be an ass instead.

                  I realize that now. I’m so sorry. I’ll just fucking kill myself now. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways.

                You’re just off topic and being petty because you can’t follow a thread 🤣. Skill issue.
