I know we've been over this before, but "unskilled" jobs are necessary, Mike. The people who do them deserve to live too, my guy. The poverty wages aren't the only thing motivating people to avoid those jobs, and that should be firsthand knowledge for you, pal.

And it's not like it takes a lot of skill to look down your nose at people for 10 seasons of television. With all due respect, kindly fuck off.
