Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

If you think you can just walk into any fast food restaurant and start working without anyone showing you what to do, you're naïve. No, of course it doesn't take as much training as working on computers. No one said it did. That doesn't mean it isn't a skill to be trained to use one of those machines.

You and the investor class may think that the only people who are skilled in the labor world went through four years of college, but that is not what a skill is.

That's also not what "skilled labor" means as a term of art, hence my first comment.

Yes, I know, and I am saying that term is wrong and should not be used. All kinds of 'terms of art' have been abandoned because they're bad terms.
