Discussion Do you realize how nonsense is that construction workers earn less than fucking service providers?

Title. A lawyer can make a lot of money and have luxurious houses. But yet the nigga who DOES build houses actually create material value cannot because his salary is shit.

Besides. Workers such as in construction and harvesting have to peel their asses brcause those jobs are physically taxing. Meanwhile nigga in an office earns more money without lifting the ass from the chair. And we are supposed to respect those individuals (because those are 'respectable' jobs) .

Lawyers have a higher skill set that takes years of school

construction is more entry level, it’s not like the worker is designing and building the house by himself.

Yeah I know. It is 'mental' work. Yet do you think it is OK they earn so much less if the physical effort is a lot higher? I mean. Even if it takes a lot of years of studying you should at least be grateful for the fact that you don't have to peel your ass off at work and not be so greedy in terms of money

People don’t get paid based on effort or what’s right, that’s an old world bootstraps fallacy. There’s a midget with an only fans that makes 20k a month. That’s Capitalism.

Actually if you think about it they are prpbably respected only cause of the money they make. Mayve some decades ago construction workers were respected (and earn better. But now they earn shit and are treated like shit.

That's because they were actually good at their job and designed much better buildings compared to today's buildings

If we follow Marx's Labor Theory of Value it does. Thus, if we follow such theory the rate of exploitation does seem to be very high for workers producing properties, as OP brings up, it seems.

But, we also need to keep in mind that a lot of these workers are 'illegal' residents working below the minimum wage threshold.

Another thing to note is that lawyers can be considered labor aristocrats - they are over-compensated due to protecting the status of the bourgeoise.
