First job in Highschool I was making $4.25, minimum wage. Couldn't tell me nothing at 15 though, I was getting paid/all my music tapes/cd's and gas funded



Michigan is still slacking with that $10.00 though . One reason cats aren't try to work right now.

if you’re young and you can live with your parents this ain’t nothing, but stack money.

If you can't afford to pay your workers a liveable wage then you should not be in business

I'll ask this question, since another Coli poster got too stumped and failed to answer it..


If a business now has higher waged workers with that same level as skill as they were before the increase of wage... how does that Business incur that new cost?

They should absorb the cost idealistically but in our capitalist society that's hardly the reality. They will either cut hours, pass the price increases onto consumers or move the business out of that particular market/location.

In this case to be realistic, I would choose that they likely pass the price increases onto consumers.

shyt ain't even cheap in the south anymore outside of specific areas and these out of touch dikkheads ain't raising the minimum wage, it's a joke

That was literally just 12 years ago.

 

[The War Report]

And there’s no such thing as unskilled labor. That’s just a lie they use to justify not paying you shyt.

Corporations have been making record profits since the pandemic and have gotten away with marking everything up. So miss me with that bs about how they gonna find the money.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

So you really want people to live off of $9 an hour in 2024?? You really gonna make a bunch of grown people to live off of minimum wage and expect them to remain loyal?

Nevermind the fact that the worker gets fukked in the end when The employer wants to cut costs. Furlough days, cutting OT, etc. But giving a little more money is a big problem. That’s crazy to me. Maybe if the cost of living gets cut back shyt would be ok. We will see though

This isnt anything out of the order blue states are pro worker pro increased wages and pro union, red states are for big business and the rich
