Comments by "Mark Zuckergecko" (@markzuckergecko621) on "Nearly HALF Of Workers Have More Than 1 Full Time Job | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
@Jim yea it's called overtime, people who are trying to get ahead usually do it.

And it's complete nonsense, this is just a poll conducted over 1,000 people, probably not chosen at random. The first numbers I saw about the overall numbers of people working 2 full time jobs was 400k. That's not even close to "half" of all workers. Other estimates were 13 million people working 2 jobs, that's including full and part time. Again, nowhere close to half of all workers.

@AssBlasster I don't work in the restaurant industry, but I take overtime whenever I can get it. That's time and a half for doing the same thing, money in the bank. Working over 40 hours isn't that bad, the amount of entitlement I see in comments to videos like this is unbelievable. People have worked a lot harder than us, for pretty much the entirety of human history. Having a full time job is just part of adult life, it's not some unfathomable prison sentence like people pretend it is. I have plenty of time left to be with my family and do the things I like, it's about having a balance and managing your time and money. Like a grown up.

Are you being serious right now? 8 hours isn't that bad. Especially considering we're not typically talking about manual labor.
2
So what percentage of the overall taxes in the US do you think the top 1% pay? Go ahead, give it a guess.

Sounds like the degrees were a waste of time and money.

If you're underpaid, get a better job. If you can't find one, you're not underpaid.

@ronin3233 if you can't figure out how to make a decent wage, then that's your problem. Life isn't always easy.
1
@ronin3233 yea the economy sucks, but just giving people more money isn't the answer. Only a 3rd grader or a billionaire would think that's a good idea, because billionaires are the only people who would benefit from that.
1
Because this is a self reported survey of 1,000 people. It's complete nonsense and not backed up by any statistics outside of this one survey.

The irony of this comment coming from someone with "realism" in their username. Good lord.

@scifirealism5943 because I can't just open a lemonade stand in my driveway that's open 3 days a week and expect to live comfortably that way. And any attempt at top down market control has always ended horribly. There's a better argument to be made that the US economy is already too heavily regulated than any argument for further regulations. Job pay is based on market value. If you feel like you're not getting paid enough at your current job, get a better job. If you can't do that, then you're not underpaid, you're appropriately paid.
1
@scifirealism5943 lmao, now suddenly demand is a factor? That's exactly why you can't just mandate that every single job "pays enough", there's a demand value on your labor too. And that value if your labor consists of flipping burgers and washing dishes is not very high, because anyone can flip burgers and wash dishes. That's why those jobs don't pay enough to sustain a family, or even a single adult. Because you're not supposed to have that job all your life.

@scifirealism5943 so open your own fast food restaurant. Make a socialist fast food chain, pay your workers a "fair wage". Why hasn't anyone done that?
1
@scifirealism5943 but if socialism is a better system, than why doesn't someone just start socialist companies within the US economy? There's no law against it. There are plenty of wealthy Americans who support socialism, Bernie Sanders could do it, Hasan Piker could do it. Why do you think they don't start major worker co-ops, and show everyone how much better it is?
1
@scifirealism5943 and here's another question, in your little utopia where the constitution mandates that every job pays enough to comfortably support an adult, what happens when some smartass gets his burger flipping job that pays $50k a year or whatever it is you think is sufficient, and just says nah I'm not gonna do any work, y'all can kiss my ass?
1
@scifirealism5943 but what you're talking about is socialism, whether you call it that or not. Mandating companies pay their employees a certain wage is socialism, yes, minimum wage in it's very concept is a socialist concept. And lmfao, why the hell would a doctor ever have to take a min wage job? That's the whole reason they're a doctor. The supply of their labor is much smaller, and in high demand. If for whatever reason nobody wants to hire them as a doctor, that probably means they fucked something up pretty bad. Why are you even bringing that up anyway? We're not talking about doctors, were talking about entry level employees. And what about the smartass who decides to just not do any work, because his company is required to pay him a "fair wage" by law? What happens?

Yes, leftists are lazy. Everyone knows this.

It's a survey of 1,000 people, self reported. This is complete horse shit, and in no way reflective of the entire country. The most liberal estimate I could find was 13 million Americans working 2 jobs, and that's both part time and full time, not 2 full time jobs. Not anywhere close to half of the workforce. Kyle is lying, and he knows he's lying. He just knows most of his audience won't know any better.

@jasonruggles4622 the fact that you're mostly illiterate shows why you're not making enough money to get by.
1
@s0515033 sure, keep complaining about how we need to "change the system" because you want more stuff. See how that works out for you. There's always going to be people who outpace you. That's how life works. No change in the system will ever change the fact that you're a loser.
1
@Israel2.3.2 so basically, you want more money but you don't want to have to work hard for it. Yep. Sounds like leftism to me. And when people are willing to work more hours than you, you'll complain that they have more money than you.
1
@Israel2.3.2 yea let's conveniently leave automation out of the equation and pretend like that's honest.
1
@Israel2.3.2 you're conveniently forgetting the part where automation costs money too. Are you stupid, or dishonest? At least one of those things is definitely true.
1
@angelmendez2211 right, because the major corporations that fund democrat campaigns will definitely be held accountable to the same rules as everyone else. That's always worked so well in the past.
1
@Israel2.3.2 yea take a look at the total donations by major corporations by party. It's not a "both sides are bad" situation, they overwhelmingly favor democrats. But of course as we've demonstrated already through every comment you've made in this thread, you're a dishonest person.
1
@angelmendez2211 it's hilarious that you continue to think Republicans are the bad guys, while Democrat cities crumble.
1
So one poll, conducted across 1,000 people is what Kyle considers conclusive research? Yea, this is why nobody outside of the leftist cult takes you seriously, Kyle.

@bumblebeeyellowdragon Kyle is citing a self reported survey done of 1,000 people. This is complete nonsense and not in any way reflective of the entire country. The most liberal estimates I could find are 13 million Americans working 2 jobs, and that's including full time and part time. Nowhere close to "half" of the working population.

@dividedstatesofamerica2520 you're the type of mindless person who consumes anything that appeals to your confirmation bias without even taking a second to use critical thinking and actually question the claim being made.
1
@tigerlily1118 you mean people who are willing to work more than you, and get ahead? Yea, those bastards.
1
@dividedstatesofamerica2520 did you even bother looking at what Kyle was citing?
