The minimum wage debate was good, glad someone was there to combat Ish. Every job should pay a livable wage. Minimum wage has never risen at the same pace as inflation has. Minimum wage is 7.25/HR it was 4.25 30 years ago lol. That's a 3 dollar increase lol. If minimum wage increased with the price of inflation, minimum wage would be $24.00/HR.

Ish cooked them up with that debate. If high school jobs are getting paid 40-50k a year, what’s the incentive for nikkas to get an associate/bachelors degree?

Or what are you gonna pay the people that do have their degree?

That's a terrible argument for why you shouldn't increase salary lol

First off, I don't even know what a "high school" job is. High School kids are in school from 8:30-3:00. So unless these fast food places are gonna shutdown for 6 and a half hours in the middle of the day, they're gonna need people to work them hours. And if they are working those hours, they need to be paid a livable wage. Every job in a society serves an important function that allows everything to run smoothly, and the entire society collapses if one group of workers decided to not do it. Regardless of how you feel about the skill of the labor (Because I know people who make high 5 figure, low 6 figure salaries that literally do nothing all day), they are needed and should be paid enough to sustain a reasonable life. Nobody working 40 hours a week+ should be stressing over bills.

These other jobs that people need degrees/schooling for have way higher earning potential, and not to mention, people have lifelong goals and desires to enter into fields that go way beyond their initial starting salary. And everybody is not gonna wanna work a fast food job/cashier type job. You think people who have aspirations of getting into teaching, nursing, becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers, social workers, etc... are just gonna give up their dreams to work at McDonalds because they have a 40K salary lol? Come on bro.

I'm just reading through here and thinkin...

low-key Joe gotta be really disappointed. He said he's been trying to get the guys to do something separate for a while and the they didn't want to.

Now they doing something and are racing towards 100k subscribers in less than 24 hrs.

That would've been huge for his Network, instead he's stuck with those unloved female pods


He should be dissapointed in himself. Im sure they were really motivated to branch off into whatever fake network Joe doing when he isnt even showing them the books so for the podcast they are actually on.

Joe is just a trash person in every aspect of being human.

Appreciate it bro. And big facts. I always hated that term, it's meant to undermine and discredit people from being paid livable wages. I've never understood common folks desire to defend these billionaires, using their talking points, to protect them from having to come off some of their money in order to pay their employees reasonable wages.

And it works two fold. More people making more money means more people spending on small business to large corps. Plus the tax contributions are higher. Which in turn can mean more funds available to focus on other things outside of socio-economic programs. Not including other residual effects of less crime, housing issues, etc.
