    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.
