Calm down. If you’ve never been this mad at work, you’ve never been forced to keep a low wage, unsatisfying job. It’s not cool behavior, but it’s not “psychopath” behavior either. These guys aren’t thinking about you, you egomaniac. These bags belong to the airline and probably all look like their immediate supervisor’s head to these guys

But look at how much they get paid. Then come here and say this. Airport / baggage handlers starting wage is well above $29 per hour.

That’s 60k/ year before taxes…for a physically demanding high stress job. It’s not a terrible wage. Airlines globally profited about 32 billion last year. Do the CEOs and CFOs of these companies deserve 350x more profit than the average worker?

Are you aware it’s probably more than that? No one is forcing them to do that job. They can look for better higher paying jobs.

There’s no reason to ruin other belongings if you’re miserable person.

Google says it’s less. Also, we should address the reason these guys are miserable (the 350x pay thing, along with shitty working conditions). Unimaginable wage inequality vs some scuffed up Samsonite. I know what I’m concerned about

Only a moron would try to create a false equivalence like that.

Your name calling is quite persuasive. I'm inclined to engage in civil debate with you regarding our differnt opinions.. What's false about my equivalence? you don't think these guys are upset that the CEO gets rich off of their sweat? Where is my flawed or false reasoning?

I'm not, you're a fucking idiot lol.

What's false about my equivalence?

" Unimaginable wage inequality vs some scuffed up Samsonite. I know what I’m concerned about" The implication that somebody can only care about one or the other.

you don't think these guys are upset that the CEO gets rich off of their sweat?

And? I'm upset too, I don't go around destroying people's shit. Fast food workers are upset about it too, doesn't make it ok to spit in customer's food. Only a moron would imply that it's ok for employees lash out at innocent customers because CEOs get paid too much.

Cool. You have an opinion. Frankly, with your output so far, I’m not very concerned with your opinion. You didn’t explain what the false equivalence was, then you created an entirely new scenario that doesn’t really equate to the video, did some more name calling, and implied that I said what these guys are doing in this video is socially acceptable behavior. I didn’t. I am just more interested in why these guys would mishandle the luggage. Why do you suppose?
