This is almost a derail but humans are built for being on their feet for extended periods of time. It's only Americans, that have grown used to sitting down for most of the day, that complain about being on their feet for a long time

This is not true.

Why do so many business owners feel like they deserve to have a business

 

[bnew]

Y'all really think everybody should make the same wages. SMH

Minimum wage is like $20 in Australia and shyt way more expensive over there. But I'll let y'all so the talking.

how many people go bankrupt from medical expenses every year in Australia? how many people don't got to the doctor or dentist in Australia because they can't afford to?

things are expensive over there because their politicians are corrupt and aren't doing enough to protect consumers from price gouging or monopolies.

Service industry is a thankless job, it doesn't matter what position you play.

Probably a Dem state.
We know socialist bred citizens ain't tryna work work

Why can't they pay 30 dollars an hour.

Taco Bell Pizza for everyone coming soon. Goodbye mom and pop

Be dumb as Hell about how the free market economy works brehs.

In the free market economy if a company can not afford to pay the prevailing wage for their industry and geographic area then that means that they can not compete and they must go out of business. That is the free market economy in a nutshell, which means that any company that can not pay that rate can not compete and employees are supposed to exercise their rights to go and work for an employer that could pay the prevailing rate.

So now I guess that you and people like you will now be in favor of illegal immigration rather enforcing labor laws that and seeing cheap undercapitalized employers going out of business like they should in a free market economy.

Working in restaurants suck. I did it for years. The pay doesn’t equate to the amount of hours you have to put in. I understand tho that people gotta do what they gotta do to put food on the table but it would be a lot easier if you didn’t have to deal with entitled ass customers

I could never work in the restaurant/fast food industry. I'd end up in prison.

@Mowgli

If you don’t think that small businesses should have to bear the weight of increasing prices of healthcare and rent etc, what should the minimum wage be linked to if not current economic conditions?

Imagine if the government overnight reduced all rents to 2008 prices and froze the increases indefinitely. Wouldn’t that alone transfer much needed finances to the worker class at the expense of those who have consistently profited for the last 13 years? Would you support that instead of a higher minimum wage than 18?

these entrepreneurs seem to forget everything they know about market dynamics when the worker finds better opportunities elsewhere

 

[Samori Toure]

People always want the free market and capitalism......until it backfires on them. Corporatocracy runs the show here in the states and the majority of these people complaining helped establish it.

Dog eat Dog. You are not entitled to a succesful business. If Mowgli Movers offering 8 bucks an hour more with benefits and more vacation, guess where I'm goin?

Amen.

Supply and demand. Businesses were happy when there were more workers than jobs, because that kept wages lower. Now they are crying because there are more jobs than workers, which is driving up wages.

That is the equivalent of the

Businesses are seeing without their employees you ain't shyt. There needs to be some kind of universal profit sharing model to pay your workers there fair share. 5k a day in revenue times that by 7 days is 1.8 mill annually revenue. After taxes that 1.3 mill, let's say they spent 300k on food and rent. 1 mill profit right there even if you have 9 full time employees you can pay them all $27 an hour and still make over 500k in profits.

Unlike the many Socialist wannabe idiots on this board screaming “fukk owners and landlords!”, this is actually a great post that I agree with.

you are speaking as if this is not already the reality.
and btw, could you live off of 18-20 an hour?
what would your quality of life look like? and why do
you think that anyone who puts in an honest days
work at what you call a "low skill job" should have that quality of life.

your positions on social issues are devoid of empathy and humanity.
if we can't start off on the premise that everyone in the U.S. can and
should be lifted out of poverty via social programs, then we simply
have nothing further to discuss.

good day, sir.

Bro… Yes, everyone should be able to provide for themselves at a bare minimum. BUT everyone is not going to be able to purchase a new Tesla and buy a luxury condo. A lot of this bullshyt is based on jealousy and envy. Clowns working at Subway, yet expecting/demanding to live the lifestyle of a professional. It’s blatant entitlement.

No…you make mediocre sandwiches for a living, so you will be in a basic ass apartment and driving a Corolla (if you’re lucky). Yes, I 100% agree that livable wages should be provided to everyone, and I think that they should be increased to a certain extent. You’ll have the basic necessities covered (as you should), but you will not have what you see that medical professional has. That’s just how it is, and that’s how it’ll remain.

True. But they also get healthcare there and aren't spending half of the fed budget on the military (well more the military industrial complex).

how many people go bankrupt from medical expenses every year in Australia? how many people don't got to the doctor or dentist in Australia because they can't afford to?

things are expensive over there because their politicians are corrupt and aren't doing enough to protect consumers from price gouging or monopolies.

So why don't y'all give up more of your check then?
