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

[Still Benefited]

Lol I didn’t know rent could be so cheap and it looks like a decent place too. How much are luxury apartments going for in your city?

nobody can tell what kind of apartments those are simply by a picture of the main office
Thats always what they post pictures of in apartment ads.
I've seen apartments with a nice picture of the main office taken 10 years ago,where the surrounding apartments look like a warzone.
But you can usually tell by the price and the area.At that price,even if you no living in the hood,you could have neighbors who potentially bring every negative element of the hood with them. Or you could have a nice quiet apartment,no theft,no violence,clean,no domestic disputes or out of control kids. Its just luck of the draw and how well its managed really.

Currently in Alabama if you make 12/hr and work full-time, you'll be taking home $762.08 a paycheck, after taxes but before benefits. FYI.


Used Cars for Sale in Alabama - Enterprise Car Sales

6 year loan on a $11000 used car, with $1000 down. $228/mo.

Just so nikkas know that I'm not bullshytting:

According to this, 1bd/apt is $585/mo.


All this in Alabama. Clearly 12/hr gets you a living wage in Alabama.

What does this prove?

 

[that guy]

Y'all need to stop this bullshyt. Everything has gone up the last 30 yrs while wages haven't. The price of shyt is going up period.

Stop what? Y’all have to stop thinking emotionally and think critically. What I said was if minimum wage increases employers will just find another way to finesse the system. They’ll buy robots and kiosks and cut your benefits and hours. Self check out is just the beginning. I believe everyone should make a living wage but thats not how it works. Of course minimum wage should be higher but the cost living will always be higher. The population is increasing but people are learning less and less skills. Instead of complaining about minimum wage focus your energy on how to develop a skill or business so you won’t be making minimum wage in the first place.
I went to a 2 yr community college and got a nursing degree that paid me $30/hr straight out of school because I didn’t want to make the $12/hr I was making at family dollar and the 15 cents raises they were giving me.

And When those unskilled people organize and Rob you and your beloved CEOs blind? This is bigger than you, and people who think selfishly always feel the pain.

They'll also rob you and each other and not the ceos besides a few
It's over bro just give up, the American people gave up their power a long time ago, you got 3 choices, live with it, move, or die

The CEO is in a sky scraper condo will security or in another country somewhere. You think Jeff bezos is gonna get robbed? No. You can’t even get into his neighborhood. People will do what they always do and rob the person next to them either though that person is struggling just like them. Think about the pandemic. People NEED a stimulus check but congress refuses to give it to us. You think they’re feeling the pain? No they’re still getting paid either way. That’s why I said the next decades will be very cutthroat. They outsource our jobs, bring millions of immigrants to take what jobs are left, and then automate the leftovers. Capitalism is about efficiency. There is no humane component. This is what Marxism is about.

Efficiency? By cutting down on quality products for an immediate profits?

That "humane component" is ethics. Ethics enforced by LAW. If you ignore that, the LAW will clamp down, or if the situation gets desperate enough, the people will raise hell

The point is they moving towards that regardless. Quit trying to make it seem like they are being noble and people are the irrational ones, by asking for more money.

We aren’t moving towards automation because it’s still to expensive compared to human labor. Asking for more money is irrational because we already know it’s not minimum wage that’s the problem. It’s the cost of living that’s the problem. Why pull a arrow out of one foot just to put it in the other foot? Universal basic income is a better answer than minimum wage.
Y’all aren’t even addressing the right people. The government determines minimum wage not corporations.

Universal basic income solves absolutely nothing!!! You just want welfare. And get money for doing nothing.

I don’t need welfare I owe taxes every year. Universal basic income solves the cost of living problem so that people can take care of their basic needs. And most importantly it allows people to have extra income without getting finessed by corporations. You increase minimum wage and they’ll just past the cost back onto you another way.

 

[Marezzy]

nikkas can't even get your order right at the restaurant and want more money.

took the words right out of my mouth. Only place I would have no problem employees getting paid $15 is Chick-fil-A. They work for it. Only place where if they get my order wrong I feel like I messed up.
