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

Most supermarkets are open at least 12 hours a day. Teens have to be in school for a huge chunk of those hours. Mentally handicapped are almost never on registers because that's where the money is. What universe do you people come from?

The universe where wages are based on the skill required to do the job

Mentally handicapped people collect the shopping carts at those supermarkets and will be making 40K ($20/hr) a year in your universe

Tell me the name of the supermarket you go to that has all these mentally handicapped people working the register.

Its like you gotta make history in your field for a basic LIVING WAGE. TLR went off the deep end. Should have saw it back in 2016 and the "Trumpset" era.

I don’t understand this fear of republicans. The Democrats are more dangerous than the republicans. They want to legalize 11 million immigrants. I used to be a nurse. They import millions of Filipino nurses which not only displace jobs but the also lower wages. Immigration will absolutely devastate our already cutthroat economy

Go after the CEOs. They not Gods.

Businesses will finesse workers if they have to pay more. They will make them aort time cut hours no benefits etc.

It'll be bad.

This. My job stopped matching 401k, stopped tuition reimbursement and made a lot of people part time so they wouldn’t have to pay benefits. You make minimum wage $15 one day and a cartoon of eggs will be $5 the next day.

Maybe its time to lower CEO compensation. Why is that hard to do?

You the type to,protest against MLK, The Black Panthers, and black leftists groups.

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

Goddamn, and you honestly came THIS CLOSE to actually getting it too .

This myth that everyone can have a nice standard of living is just unrealistic

It's not a myth though.

Huh? I’m pro black you can check my post history. CEOs get compensated by stock performance. Most of the wage cuts are done to keep the shareholders happy its not the CEO.
I used to work for a dialysis company that had tuition reimbursement, great benefits and 401k match etc., they stopped all of that to have cash reserves so they could pay the dividends to the shareholders. It has nothing to do with the CEO.

Chomp down on the shareholders and execs that hog all the profits. Go,back to pre 1980 regulations

In California there was a ballot for rent control, that shyt got rejected so fast .

That would probably be because that ballot measure didn't actually benefit the average renter or homeowner......

I see them bagging for the cashier's all the time. They're gonna be paid 40K too right?

 

[Serious]

A grown adult should be making at least 56k a year.

 

[Cave Savage]

I think 15 is reasonable but these peoppe suggesting 30 or 50

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

You full of shyt if you think that's too much when you consider the cost of living in America. There's no reason besides corporate greed and politics that the minimum wage is only $7.25 in America in 2020.

 

[LurkMoar]

Don’t they start at $20 a hour?

Damn near at this point, it keeps going up.
