In essence, anyone who can't do more complicated or valuable work has no value to the market and should be at least understanding that the only reason they have work at all is that other people, for differing reasons, have kept low wage positions available. We don't live in an era where menial labor is very useful anymore, so why do people still expect to be able to live a decent life with no skills??

Try living without those folks doing what they do.
