LOL DEMOCRATS

Can you imagine a person opening up a restaurant with the risk of only 17% to make it and paying a 16 year old $30 an hour to flip burgers?

[420seriouscat69]

It makes zero fiscal sense

[MakeItRain]

Are you under the impression that if minimum wage would be $30 your salary would be same? I thought you are making real money now? You also have a job where you aren't paying people minimum wage. Why are you still meat gazing?

[420seriouscat69]

If you think someone slinging you a burger through McDonald’s deserves $30 an hour, while some guy spent his hard earned $ to try and own the local franchise, I can’t help you. Making bank is worthless now after 8 years of extra education I gave myself, while they give the fry guy the bank. FOR FRIES!

Ah yes that classic scrappy underdog American small business owner, the mcDonalds franchise owner.

You think a French fry guy deserves $30 an hour, teach?

[catastrophe]

I don’t give a crap if someone makes bank scrubbing toilets or flipping burgers, but I do wonder what it would do to inflation.

[Dugout DickStone]

minimum wage is not going to $30 an hour good lord what a dog whistle for clods

[420seriouscat69]

We’re simply making fun of dumbass Dems who are asking for it. Perfect thread to do it in.

[BIG APPLE CAT]

Wacky pick a lane dude. Is inflation out of control or do people (perhaps more specifically people without a college education) deserve to make a livable wage?

hmu when they actually introduce legislation instead of tweeting

[420seriouscat69]

Lol

We are at full employment with significant inflation. That wage is coming up no matter what and the jobs that you are disparaging will be part of that wacky. Employers are going to then belt tighten (interest rates will be a factor there too) and then it’ll even back out at some new higher level. Our gutless congress won’t pass any raise of the min wage until it’s a toothless gesture so you can rest easy.

If they are making $30/hr you will make more and prices will go up and so it won’t matter. What are we even talking about?

The one thing I discovered is how cucked the average American is during a tight labor environment. This is good for labor! Wages are rising! You don’t need to put up with crappy employers/bosses! Yet tons of people are pissed because their door dash is late or whatever.

[420seriouscat69]

You guys really hate small businesses.

[steve dave]

Wacky, did you just take all micro Econ courses?

[420seriouscat69]

I have an MBA from the University of Phoenix, SD. I’m wicked smart!

[BIG APPLE CAT]

When I heard wacky got a 30% raise I groaned audibly bc I realized how expensive my next trip to the dentist was going to be. As a champion of small businesses it made me sick to my stomach. People should not be making more money, especially in this economy

Wacky's whole thing is about others not actual sound policy. People he deems inferior don't deserve better fate because he pulled himself up by the bootstraps without any help at all and everyone else should too. The pretty obvious issue with $30 an hour minimum wage is inflation but to hell with that, let's be concerned with what poor people deserve.

But in all serious wacky congrats on your pay bump I’m sure it as well deserved.  What I’m actually trying to say here is I think you are showing your entire ass with your popular-among-boomers mentality of “well I worked hard and only made slightly more than that when I was that age therefore others don’t deserve crap unless they work as hard or, preferably, harder” and wackster my brother in Christ I don’t know if you learned this in mba school but that mentality is completely backwards and patently stupid by basically every relevant metric

When you hire a 5 million dollar producer, you get nice things.

As a former cook of Sonic and Wendy’s, I think $30 an hour for that type of work is insane. That’s all I’m saying. What’s motivating people to better themselves?

Why tf should anyone have to? Like what dystopian hellscape are you wanting to live in where people can’t afford to live unless they work their ass to the bone? I’m going to try to type this as concisely as I can without having a stroke, but there are a couple of ideas you might want to grapple with:
The small elite ruling class has a vested interest in growing the gap between the wealthy and the poor. Keep the poor uneducated, unempowered, and you will control them. They hold all the cards, and they are making sure to maintain the status quo. College is absurdly expensive. Life is expensive. You say these people need to better themselves? My dude this is pretty much impossible for the poor.
Second, you might not believe this but there was a time in this country…before either you or I were born but not too terribly long ago, when you didn’t have to have a college education to live a comfortable life and support a family. It was actually possible for the folks who worked the crap jobs to survive without living in abject poverty bc it quite simply didn’t have to be that way. And it doesn’t HAVE to be that way now but somehow people like you get convinced by a bunch of billionaires that this is the way it should be and you should enjoy scraping by on your combined dual income of $150k/yr and pat yourself on the back for all your hard work and let’s blame the poor for all our problems bc yeah they’re the problem, not us billionaires nope definitely not us billionaires making all the rules

Probably just put the dentist out of business tbh

[Rage Against the McKee]

The minimum wage really does need to be raised, even if wages are going up without it. We are going to end up with favelas, otherwise.
