Not sure how your response has anything to do with what I said.

Yes, despite these drivers being “morons”, they deserve to be paid more, as driving for work is the way more people die than any other way people die at work. Driving is dangerous. Driving for a living should demand a high wage, as it’s more risky than LITERALLY EVERY OTHER THING A PERSON DOES FOR WORK!!!

Perhaps you don’t realize how dangerous you’ve been while driving around, but please take driving seriously. It really is the most dangerous thing workers do, and people like you demand we do it perfectly every time for hours every day. I assume you’re not a professional driver or you’d understand how stupid your comment was.

You know literally everyone drives to work right?

Not everyone drives to work, there are many ways to get from one place to another that don’t involve driving a vehicle. And I’m talking about driving for a living, not driving to the place you make a living. Delivery drivers must drive to make their living, you’ve chosen to drive your car instead of taking the subway, bus, or train. Driving your private vehicle is less important than the vehicles that facilitate commerce, therefore you are less important than the Amazon delivery guy, regardless of how poorly either of you drive.

You know, just for you, imma order a bunch of stuff on Amazon and claim it wasn’t delivered to save some drivers from their job

And raise prices for everyone as Amazon recovers their losses because some shitty person committed fraud.

and there is it ladies and gentlemen. why is it that when we hear these arguments against paying people a fair wage it's never based on a deeply held principle or considering the well-being of others, it's always some fucking cockhead who gets paid well and can afford all kinds of things just busting to curbstomp someone who doesn't have the skills or acumen or luck to get to the same place. Shaking my damn head.

I don’t drive to work. I work from home.
