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

Employees should be paid based upon a well the company is doing PERIOD

strongly disagree.

If my company has a shytty quarter, doesn' tmean my work was any less intensive or any less essential.

In fact I would say that I probably work harder and my work is more critical to the company when the company is doing worse

Nah, these are very valid questions that TLR Republicans refuse to answer.

So any country with a large population, has to have extreme wealth gaps? Just THANOS the population then, if population is such a burden in America. Or practice eugenics.

No one said it would have extreme wealth gaps. You guys are just being unrealistic. Humans aren't moral creatures breh. As long as there's a high population, resources will be scarce. In this case, the resource I'm talking about is lifestyle. Wealthy people in this country (usually homeowners and landlords) can only have their current standard of living if someone else has a shytty standard of living. This myth that everyone can have a nice standard of living is just unrealistic. Read Thomas Malthus
.
That's why when you guys are always talking about "working 40 hours and earning 15$/hr is trash" I always chuckle. In order to change that, you would need the wealthy of this country to take a hit to their standard of living. I honestly do not see this happening since "finance bros" and landlords/homeowners are well respected individuals in America (at least among Cacs). In California there was a ballot for rent control, that shyt got rejected so fast .

Europe is the way it is because they have a history with this sort of thing. The French Revolution and the Robespierre.
The French bourgeoisie back then were shook. The wealthy in America on the other hand give zero fukks, and they know that the American citizens won't do anything about it. The closest yall got to any change was occupy wallstreet, and that shyt got struck down quick. A lot of Americans are greedy and believe that they could all become Jeff Bezos one day, that's why the 30$ minimum wage yall are talking about is a pipe dream. Yall's culture runs on greed and consumerism. Crony capitalism is also rampant among your elites, but the citizens don't seem to care.

America is shameless. Wages haven’t kept up with productivity for decades. The minimum wage would’ve been near $20 ANYWAY if it kept up with inflation. America used to have tons of high paying jobs 50 years ago that paid a living wage...they shipped those jobs overseas to poor underdeveloped countries so they could pay them jokers $2 to $3 an hour and have executives pocket the rest....they replaced those lost jobs with bullsh*t fast food and retail jobs and convinced everyone in the US they were entitled and lazy and didn’t deserve anything else. Y’all got fukked like a dollar hooker. And the sad part is there is enough money to pay workers and still have people be rich. You had millionaires and billionaires in the 1960s, 1950s, 1940s, 1930s, 1920s. You just can’t be worth $200 billion dollars.

Keep thinking that the unrealistic standard of living of the landlords and the ultra-wealthy wont get pushback. If America can shut down the police AND military in 2020, they can shut down these operations of greedy CEOs.

A ton of important policies throughout history have been struck down, until they weren't what's your point? It's a reason kids aren't still working in coal mines in 2020.

That shy won't get push back. A lot of Cac Americans still believe in the American dream. Therein lies the problem. Corrupt bankers always get a slap on the wrist and your zombie companies get tax cuts out the azz. Ain't no American citizens protesting about this stuff.

nikkas making 60k a year will defend the rights of people making money they wouldn't see in 20 lifetimes just because they believe working in fast food is easy. But they never bring up any other industry in which people routinely get fukked with low pay like Auto Mechanics, or Paramedics.

Trust me, we dont need,a whole lot of CACs to make change and balance the wealth gap. If you think that French Revolution tactics aint gonna work in America, you sadly mistaken.

They won't, rich people are too glorified out here for that shyt to work. Rent wouldn't be so high if someone stepped in and told landlords to control their greed. It is what it us breh.

So just stop fighting it, huh?

Just give up, right?

If you defend these greedy b*stards, or even remain passive aggressive, you gonna get rolled over, too.

Breh I get what you're saying but what you fail to undestard is that for ANY change to happen in America, the wealthy will have to take a hit to their lifestyle. That means higher taxes. It also means not giving incentives to people flipping houses etc.
That won't happen.
