True, but without the soft handed folks our bosses can't pay us or get capital for their businesses. We need everyone to make it all work (except for day traders, those guys are truly useless).
A pack of Marlboro cigarettes cost $45 Australian. They should make more than $35 an hour there. A pack of Marlboros here where I live $8. Big difference

They are here too in the USA. No clue why the video references. $35/hr. All these guys make more than that (except maybe the student athletes setting up equipment on the field).

reading a book about laying railroad and actually knowing how to lay railroad are two different things. you work in an office don't you? the ability to effectively swing a sledge hammer day in and day out isn't something that can be learned from a book. i see a lot of people with next to useless office jobs, who in reality work maybe 20-25 hours a week max, usually doing fluff work and causing more work for others in order to justify their salaries way above $35 an hour contributing next to nothing that could be considered useful to society at large. and they went to adult daycare, i mean college, and think that provides them some sort of status. those are the type of people who make comments like the one you made. generally useless people, clinging to their false sense of intelligence, and inflated importance.
@@davecarsley8773 Anything can be taken to an extreme, but the average family in Canada earns 174,000 so $35 an hour would only be roughly 65,000 a year. That's barely enough to live, but you keep being a corporate slave and never be free from your chains. Myself and all the rational thinkers who understand that companies are making more money than ever before and the main problem with the economy is that the rich keep getting rich even faster than before and now hold 99% of all the money, people like me will continue to try to rebalance the economy so that if can continue working. If we don't pay people enough money to be consumers and buy stuff then the whole economy collapses. Try educating yourself and also start thinking for yourself rather than repeating corporate/Republican/conservative talking points.
@@BryanBB440 Increasing wages has a tiny effect on inflation so long as the wages are not ridiculous like say 1M an hour as you suggest. $35 an hour yields an annual wage for full time work of approx. 65,000. If you think that's a lot of money then you are being taken advantage of by the company that employs you, you are a sucker. Furthermore, if you are stupid enough to think that people earning enough to barely afford to live is going to cause massive hyper-inflation, despite this never actually happening in the past in any country, ever.(because in every country that has ever suffered hyperinflation there was a clear reason why and it was NOT wages, it was government mass printing of money without the GDP to back it up, or a war time economy like in Germany, it was never caused by increased wages, especially not the tiny increase that I am recommending). The median income of couples in Canada is 174,000 a year, so a min. wage that results in a couple's income of 130,000 a year, which is just enough to live off of, is frankly overdue. And PS - Corporations are having record breaking years, giving more money to shareholders, earnings are off the charts, the wealthy are earning more money at a faster and faster rate; in real terms the elite wealthy have gone from owning 30% of the wealth in the world to now owning 99% of all the wealth in the world. But you know what, I was wrong, the workers that actually do the work do not deserve anything more than serfdom and slave like conditions, clearly we are asking way too much when we ask for enough money to barely cover our basic needs, clearly our corporate masters and overlords are correct, rent must go up, profits must go up, but never shall we workers get a single dime more or else the monster under your bed will, I mean inflaaaatiiioon will destroy you! LOL. Talk about being brainwashed.
$35 an hour is nothing for skilled laborers
I agree, that's why I said $35 an hour should be the absolute floor / minimum wage.
I work for a railroad and drive spikes all day for over $40 an hour.
Only $35 an hour. We blue collar guys make life possible for soft handed folk. Without us, a lot of shit stops.

I don't set my alarm for only $35 an hour.
That's how circus workers staked out tents.
That concrete is complete and utter shit.
Kooky
Nothing special in this video.
Watch it again. The railroad guy places the spike with his hammer before driving it!
Didn't see that until your comment. Pretty awesome aim!
The sledge has a Grove to set the spike on the first swing,the 3 guys swinging set the spike first
Guys who don't need Gym memberships
Офигеть. В Америке всё ещё рельсы костылями крепят? У нас давно на гайки, а болты сразу в бетонные шпалы установлены.
This guys is just getting worse and worse
The cat converter is smart but deadly asf to your lungs
Одно и то же во все роликах. Автору надо в отпуск, за новым материалом
These workers are actually paid more than $35 an hour in australia
I’m not going to swing a sledgehammer for $35 an hour!

This guy's face is getting more annoying each video
$35 an hour to swing a hammer!?!?!
They must be union.
Let me see your hands before you start judging

$35!? I wouldn't even show up for that. I charge $150 an hour.
$35 an hour for using a hammer or standing around ? Read a book people.
reading a book about laying railroad and actually knowing how to lay railroad are two different things. you work in an office don't you?

$135 an hour
Everyone should be paid $35 an hour, it should be the national min. wage! These guys should be paid more.
Yeah and a loaf of bread would be 25 bucks.
Seriously though why not make minimum wage a million dollars an hour?
Then everyone could be millionaires.
Yeah!! In fact, fuck it, everyone should be paid $500/hr!!!!!!!!! I promise there will be no horrible consequences to the economy!
