Are people asking for too much now? I'm sorry but a $15 minimum wage is still too low...

Your first statement shows you are too ill informed to have a conversation about this topic. White people told you that you have no way to create wealth for yourself, and you listened
Such a cop out reply:mjlol: Humor me. Tell me how the earth has infinite resources that we can just keep taking from it without consequence. Tell me how you’d able to afford 90% of the shyt you own right now with your current income without someone on the other side of the world slaving away for it. Tell me how you’re “creating” wealth breh.

Y’all get a small piece of the pie and act y’all know the recipe.

Solution is to try & find a better paying job. If the better paying job requires some training or education. Go get that education or training.

Increasing minimum wage will just increase the cost of living.

Some of those tweets are why people consistently vote Republican regardless if someone like a Trump is the candidate. That one chick said she doesn't care if a small business owner can't afford employees at $20 an hour then don't hire anyone. What she doesn't take into consideration is inflation, cutting hours for employees, less small business owners meaning less competition and higher pricing, less businesses meaning less employees meaning more unemployment, etc.

grand opening grand closing.

At this point I’m tired of broke people in America. Especially my generation and generation Z that thinks shyt should come easy like how instant it is to log on Twitter or IG. Things take time it does not come over night :gucci:

Yeah, there probably hasn't been a time in history where there is money-making opportunities than ever. Spend 6 months to 1 or 2 years invested in a skill/trade, you won't have these problems.....

Whites told you "money is the root of all evil", while they use the same money to empower themselves and control your lives
Whites told you family structure and gender roles don't mean anything, until you realize the amassed their wealth from group economics and defined roles
Whites told you money is finite, while the banks they own make money out of thin air
Whites taught you Corporations are evil and its hard to compete, while the average price for a person to start a corporation and compete is under $200
Whites told you "resources are limited", while you can create resources in Agriculture, Manufacturing, Skilled trade, and Consulting


When you ready to get out of the matrix, let me know. I'm pulling for you breh :salute:

The price of living always increases tho. I don't even understand this argument anymore.

When I get out of school in 2022 I will be at $35+

And I worked and went to school for it...

I be damned If some burger flipper with no little education or skill get paid anywhere near what I will.

Maybe the CEO needs to get paid less, and focus on quality instead of taking shady shortcuts for more profit.

This generation doesn’t get it. They’ll just replace y’all with machines...


Im not disagreeing, but this is a terrible argument. They are going to do this anyway as soon as they can. Wage or no wage. Pay a machine 0 or pay a person minimum wage will always be an easy answer for a business.

Always.

$15 an hour min raise is just going to raise the cost of living even more. So the same issues will exist.

Lower the CEO and the board members' salaries and stop having loopholes on some fascist shyt. Put price caps on food, housing, and basic essentials.
