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

Jobs like cashier, burger flipping, and grocery baggers are obviously not for kids anymore with all these old ass people I’m seeing there especially these days. Again there’s a real conversation that need to be had and I think we could have it if people would stop trolling and really have the conversation. You know damn well 30 an hour minimum ain’t happening, you better be glad 15 is even being considered. Talk about the cost of living vs the wage gap without trolling. This is why I hate Twitter.

the “those are kids jobs” has never made sense with me. Do teenagers not deserve to make decent money and start saving for the expenses of life?


A lot of kids move out (either by choice or force) at 18. How are they supposed to pay for life?

I live in the south, clearly we define the term "nice" differently. because as I SAID 12hr ain't getting you anything nice in Alabama. 10 bucks yo ass would be lucky to have a shytty studio apt.

Nice is: no shootouts, no drugs, no violence, shopping center is 10 mins away walking.

What's your definition of nice?

Then you would have defended slavery and Jim Crow, since injustices based on economics based on race and exploitation were once legal. No other developed country thinks like this.

CEO can cut corners, make an inferior product, and underpay employees slave wages as long as he gets paid.

Just want to elaborate— what do you mean no other developer country thinks like this? Cause they definitely have similar companies with rich CEOs in China, Russia, Japan, etc

Here's what I will say. If I'm 18 in an entry-level job, then I should be able to afford a 1-bedroom apt and an used car, with all the other normal bills.

Now the Coli Economists can tell me why that shouldn't happen.

This generation doesn’t get it. They’ll just replace y’all with machines... McDonald’s, Burger King, Walmart. A higher minimum age isn’t the entire answer.

People need to focus on making themselves more valuable and acquiring an in demand skill.

For every skill you have there is a robot coming soon. People don't seem to understand money isn't a real thing. Your grandparents was making .40 cent a hour back in the day. And these people really think they are making more than .40 cent an hour today:mjlol:. Go ahead and make more money,they will just raise prices on everything and you will be right back to square one. What people should be seeking is more money but less hours so that you are making the same thing you make now,but you have more time to live your life as a human. But people value money over their freedom, and don't mind being batteries for the system,as long as they can be tagged as overpriced luxury batteries for the system:martin:.
