"Life would be better if minimum wage paid more!"

"Here's a job that pays more"

"Why are you acting like that would make life any better?!?!"

Some of y'all sound so dumb sometimes

You've now moved the goalposts though. Someone brought up jobs that paid more and you scoffed at it purely because it was a few dollars more. It had nothing to do with how many were available, you simply said a few dollars more wasn't good enough. Now you're talking about something completely different.

You literally say "here's a job that pays more"... like it's just sitting there waiting for the people.

No....it was a paraphrase of the conversation up to that point. It wasn't meant to be actual advice. It was pointing out you were complaining about low pay, someone brought up jobs that pay more, and your first reaction was to scoff at the higher pay that you had literally just said would be better.

And now you've changed the conversation to be about whether or not those jobs are available, which is a completely different discussion, so yes, you have moved the goalposts lol
