Easily one of the weirdest “solutions” to unemployment. It’s a tax. Nobody needs a gas station attendant (aside from disability, but that’s not why NJ has the law). They are taxing gas companies to provide money directly to people. They’re just also making those people work a meaningless job, because capitalism.
Can’t have something for nothing - no, no, in this society you can only have something in exchange for an appreciable portion of your remaining life on earth, even if you ultimately give up that portion of your life for literally nothing.
I love these “star signs” themed political commentary though.
I wouldn’t call it meaningless. I don’t have to get out of my car into nasty weather. Disabled people get helped without having to make a big fuss about it. And some people actually do like the job, as strange as that might sound.
Back in the day they’d wash your windows, check your tire pressure, and maybe ask you how your day was going too. Nothing wrong with service.
What pisses me off is all these jobs gone, and yet the gas didn’t get any cheaper. Seems like self-checkout; the companies convincing people that doing their jobs for them for no pay so they can pocket all the profit is great actually.
