You don't understand the argument then.
No one saying unskilled labor is really skilled labored because it hurts the unskilled persons feelings. They are saying by calling something unskilled it is justification for them not making a living wage.
No where in the OP did they say all laborers should be paid the same.
Every time that meme is presented (or any form of 'unskilled labour isn't real opinions) there's a foray of incompetent tools pushing the belief that communism or some form of 'geared wages' is going to fix the problem with monopolies and greedy billionaires.
I, and most other comments here, are presenting a reality that 'unskilled labour' is real, and no one is trying to justify poverty wages, we're justifying a reality that education does in fact make a difference for monetary gain
Then answer my question you tool.
