    Well given that you don’t seem to care about your neighbors well being, I pity them.

    I’m not the one who started throwing around misinformation and miseducation about employment opportunities that impact my neighbors, you did.

    You want an adult conversation? Go talk to someone who relies on those jobs you’re so fond of disparaging.

    Take care Richard.

      None of my neighbors work at Goodwill.

      And you were the one who said you wanted an adult conversation. You’ve shown none of that.

      Also, I’m disparaging the job for the same reason all the disabled people in the articles I pasted that you didn’t apparently read are complaining about them, so it’s pretty ironic that you’re claiming I’m the one who doesn’t care about the well being of the people who rely on those jobs… by saying they should be paid more.

        None of your neighbors work at goodwill, but how many of them rely on it?

        That’s the point. You can’t see two feet past the disabled argument & so you’ve taken to disparaging jobs that non disabled people benefit & rely on. Aka, YOUR NEIGHBORS.

        Once again, I’ll refer you to your local goodwill for an adult conversation. Go talk to someone who has just reentered the workforce & tell them the job they rely on should disappear because you don’t like it.

        Go on, actually interact with these people if you’re so certain they don’t need the help those jobs offer.

        You don’t care about the reality behind those jobs, you only care about how good it makes you feel to prattle on about corporate ills on the internet, rather than truly get involved.

        Like I said, take care Richard.

          I’m pretty sure I never said Goodwill shouldn’t hire people at all, so I have no idea where you’re getting that from.

          I just am saying, much as the disabled people who work at Goodwill are saying, that they deserve to be paid more.

          Why don’t you agree?

            Richard, partner, pal…

            No… You said disabled people should get paid an hourly wage for a performance based metric & that the jobs weren’t worth a damn until they followed that highly illogical payment schedule.

            You legitimately suggested that disabled people should be given an hourly wage for a per unit position… and then had the audacity to denigrate those unit based jobs because they didn’t live up to your spotless standards.

            You focused on one marginalized group because it garnered the attention you liked, & now you’re blasting at away at me for trying to point out the bigger picture.

            We’ve already settled all that. The only thing we haven’t settled is how long I’m going to continue to call you Richard.

              You can call me by someone else’s name for some bizarre reason as much as you like, but it doesn’t change the fact that you keep arguing with someone who is saying that disabled people should be paid more at Goodwill, which disabled people also think.

              Again, why don’t you?

                Richard, you’re just being obtuse at this point. You aren’t arguing for disabled people, you’re arguing about jobs not being good enough for disabled people while ignoring everyone else who relies on those jobs. You don’t want disabled people to be paid equally, you want to be right about this point rather than acknowledge you have not thought your stance through and have continued to argue a miseducated point fruitlessly.

                You are no champion Richard.

                  Nothing you will say will change the fact that you are disagreeing with someone who thinks disabled people who work at Goodwill, much like those disabled people themselves, deserved to be paid more.

                  Why don’t you think they deserve to be paid more?

                  And yes, I’m not a champion. I’m a worthless excuse for a person. But that doesn’t change the fact that I think that disabled people at Goodwill deserve to be paid more.

                  And I still don’t get this Richard thing.

                    Richard, I am a bit disappointed, this is getting redundant.

                    Nothing you say indicates you actually care about disabled people being paid equitably. You argue that disabled people aren’t getting paid equitably, but you aren’t able to comprehend that paying disabled people a hourly rate is not equitable when considering others a paid per unit rate. Further more, you’ve suggested goodwill shouldn’t even be offering these jobs in the first place, completely ignoring the impact those jobs have already had.

                    You found your chew toy & now you’re gonna slobber all over it.

                    When you’d like to consider something bigger than your own misguided fanciful notions, the. You can join us at the adults table, you can join us at the adults table.

                    Richard, I am a bit disappointed, this is getting redundant.
