    What constitutes skilled labor and who should be paid a living wage are two distinct conversations.

      Is it made less difficult to achieve a living wage for everyone by affirming, or by challenging, the practice of characterizing some labor as “unskilled”?

        What it does it make you sound like a dunce for pretending like there aren’t many many jobs that require special skills.

        What you’re doing is applying manipulative tactics and blatantly lying to further an agenda rather than just applying simple logic and reason. When you do that, you inhibit the cause you claim to support.

                Maybe you should try some of that logic and reason I was speaking about earlier rather than pointing to Wikipedia articles you don’t understand and pretending like it makes you right.

                  I asked you a particular question, and you have since returned only hostility and insultation.

                  Do you have any contribution relating to the question I asked, or to the concern that it carries no particular meaning merely to assert that some skills may be given the characterization “special”?

                    The only question you asked of me, I answered plainly and in no uncertain terms, even though it’s the wrong question.
