    We've now added a color code for all accounts. Orange accounts are new members, Blue are full members, and Green are Supporters. If you get a message about a sale from an orange account, make sure you pay attention before sending any money!

Paying an idiot $15+ per hour.

Yea I wonder how you know that since I worked for my family business (all of my immediate family members are business owners) for years and have a BS in Finance. There must have been a few macro/micro classes in there.

Poor people who make shit decisions working shitty wages always bitch about others. If you are making $25 and hour to drive a bus or some other semi -no skilled job then you bitch about people at McDonalds making $15. Get an education, learn a skill or go do some hussling. Guys hauling trash to dump are making $500 a day, becuase they are willing to work.

Its an inadequacy and insecurity because you want you put yourself higher on the pecking order to feel better about yourself.

Bitching about poor people making $15/hr just shows how ignorant and little people know about how the economy works, how its financed and where all the money is actually going. CMS (Medicad/Medicare/CHIP/ect) is going to spend $1.5 Trillion this year and most of that money is going to those same people making minimum wage. Go protest in front of congress but the second you are benefiting or getting "your share" I bet we hear silence.

Same thing with the Stimulus checks, How many here sent theirs back? LOL Bunch of fucking Hypocrites.

The last few years have been a boomtown for getting paid. If you haven't taken advantage of that and gotten your 25-100% pay raise, then you are a fool.
Ok. So never ran a business and been overly indoctrinated by “education “. Thinking you have knowledge now.

Yes higher minimum wage makes every employees labor rate from laborer to ceo just increased

This makes everything cost more and sends things over seas.

Good example with the cms. Tax the people working 80 hours a week to pay for the parasites working 0-40
 
If you are a vet you should apply to every federal job you qualify for. Not hard to find a GS9/11 which not only pays better than $18/hr but most are career paths.
But then you’re a fed employee, have to take your clot shot like a good obedient bitch and pay homage to your master in the WH.

Fuck that.
 
I get it. Most people's wages haven't risen remotely similar to the cost of goods. So for wage earners and (especially) those on fixed incomes it feels like wages and goods are terribly high.
However, anger should be directed at those who simultaneously create inflation, drive down markets, and spend (to the moon) on stupid shit like the Ukraine, "reparations", "green energy", and the Ukraine (plus millions of other things). All this while turning future generations into tax slaves to China.

Leave the poor bastard making 15.00/hr alone. Those are chump-change wages in Brandon's America. 15.00 is minimum wage even if that hooker AOC and her anti-American cooze squad never got it through Congress.

If that's you, then you're the chump. Sorry to be the one to tell you.
And maybe we should be happy theyre willing to work instead of staying in mom's basement.

No Minimum wage does not cause higher costs, atleast not retaliative to anything. Its a second order effect from inflation.

What makes things cost more is inflation. Inflation caused by the Fed Printing money Via Quantitative Easing and other methods, skyrocketing the money supply. Couple this with historically low interest rates and money has been essentially free for the last 10 years or so, making business and investing opportunities even with a low ROI, attractive. Now that that has ended, the cost of financing has increased and companies are struggling based on old models.

If you work 80 hours a week you should be making 6 figures EASILY. Most journeyman tradesmen making around $45-55/hr. ($45/hr +40) + (67.5* 40) = $216K per year. Its not hard to find a job making $80-90K a year starting out with a decent degree.

If you are working 80 hours a week and you don't make at least $100K, then you are a moron and work unskilled labor. You have zero reason to bitch about some poor person making $15/hr when your labor is not worth much more. Even if you only make $25 hour base that comes out out to $120K a year.

So again, its people bitching about their own insecurities and inadequacies because they think they are better than the minimum wage crowd, when the market says they aren't really that much different.

When you retire are you going to take social security? What about Medicare? Unless you are in the top 1%, you don't even really pay income taxes. Just another parasite right?
 
Increasing the minimum wage was just a tactic from the government to increase tax revenue. Corporations are pass through entities where the employees salary pays the tax. Increase min wage, increase tax revenue.
 
Not quite. Courts put a stay on that shit.
But you’re still a fed and still doing the government’s bidding. Every bit as bad.

Hard fucking pass on all of that.

We’ll see where any of the court stays end up landing on the shot, doesn’t change over 95% of the fed workers lined right up and got their shots like the obedient public lackeys they are.
 
On the surface thats what it looks like but realistically, they do not pay any taxes. What little is witheld is more than refunded, to the tune they get more money back than they paid in. Now the flip side is the employeer portion of taxes, which does increase. So it increases tax revenue, but not the way most think. I would even assunme that the workers get more back in money than the increase in revenue from employer portion; but that is impossible to know.

Your a f ing idiot.

Labor unions have a particular interest in minimum wage increases since their contracts are directly tied to the minimum wage. When union members get a pay increase, labor bosses often secure higher revenues from union dues that are a percentage of employees' pay. There's also a political motivation.

And do you not know what income tax rates are ?

Did you wear a uniform? If so you are no different.

Yea its totaly the employees fault they were put between losing their job, their pensions and careers. People have families to feed and can you blame them? When you got nothing to lose, its easy to sling shit.

People who were never faced with those decisions should keep quiet.

Who cares, It doesn't effect you. Blaming minimum wage for price increases is like blaming the chef of the titanic for serving bad clams. Its not material.

Incomes taxes are progressive, you probally think you get taxed more on bonus LOL.

I wore one, absolutely, and when they gave me orders I didn’t want to execute I walked away after 14 years active duty with no retirement and no benefits to regain my own freedom, family to feed and all.

I lost all of that through standing up for myself and my beliefs, regret none of it, and would and will do it again if need be. I’ll sling all the shit I want.

The fed lackeys can keep being lackeys, it’s exactly what they’re best at.
 
Guess who had all but accomplished the wage stagnation single handed?

Guess who claims they have a solution?

Guess who shipped in hordes of minimum wage earners?

R

The horde of people here illegally or even those who are allowed in this country as welfare leeches is a true shining example of bipartisan cooperation between the Democrats and the Republicans.

The Democrats get more people dependent on them for a free handout and get to increase their political power
The Republicans get nice payoffs from their big business buddies for driving down wages and destroying worker rights by importing tons of people they can treat like slaves and pay a pittance to.

The only people that hate their voting base more than the Democrats are the Republicans.
 
You haven't bought fuel lately, have you?

Or groceries, or fast food, or eaten in a restaurant, or bought tires, or powder, or primers?

Not only are prices waaaaay the hell up, but product quantity/size continues to spiral downward while the price goes up.
Filled up for $2.39 per gallon a few days ago. Honestly, I'm not going to count on that lasting much longer with Dems and a few weak-ass Republican still having effective control of the federal government, but that's beside the point. I've never before been criticized for being insufficiently pessimistic. Maybe things really are worse than I understand. Or maybe this is just the Bear Pit.
 
My eggs come from the backyard. Meat comes from further back in the “yard” if we want. Americans should start being self reliant and sufficient again. View attachment 8028154

I'd like to do that one day, however around here if I want to live somewhere that I can still drive to work every day, most likely having chickens would result in boots and guns coming to my house to explain how I'm not allowed to do that.
 
What is this Third World shit? Americans shouldn’t have to have gardens and chickens in order to afford vegetables and eggs.

Actually if you look back at history, that was the way it was for a very long time, it was only recently that food was cheap and plentiful and nobody had to worry about growing their own anything.

It looks like times are going back that way and we are going to go even further and get the whole feudal / soviet living experience mashed into one.
 
If it makes you feel better.
I work with idiots that are paid 52$ who still have a hard time walking and talking.

When America decided every teenage, fuckwit and asshole to ever stumble into a service job was worth brain surgeon wages everyone knew what the end result would be except America's stupid fucking idiot socialists. Somehow the fuckwit leftists thought companies would simply pay every asshole in the place manager's wages and prices would stay low. Why you would think something that fucking stupid is something no socialist would ever be able to explain.

If my wife and I go to Denny's for breakfast or dinner, it is $40 dollars minimum for two drinks and two meals and a reasonable tip if the service is decent. We cannot get out of a fast food joint for $20 bucks unless we buy two drinks and a medium fries. If you order a burger, you can read newsprint thru the patty and a 1/4 pounder is now 1.5 ounces tops. We stopped at Arby's and my bride had a "Rueben sandwich combo" the bread was the same size with a silver dollar sized blog of meat in the middle and the fry container was half empty. I took it all back to the counter and got a refund, I told the manager if they needed the fries that badly they should stop selling them. He opined that was the "corporate approved" serving size. We promised to never return and parted ways.

It is amusing to see that even leftist fuckwit news has noticed the problem they fucking caused.




Good luck with that $15 dollar latte from an asshole making $35 an hour at Starbucks and working like a worthless Teamster.
Buy food, cook it youself.

Problem solved!

Or some other such boomer-Fudd whining.
In 1975 I made $13.50 as an oiler. Today that's $74.70. An oiler today makes about $30.

We're getting fucked by inflation, if you're lucky you will live long enough to bitch about the good old days.
 
Somebody must've tripped over the rock LoneGunMan was hiding under.

Have you seen the cost of gas? Bread? Eggs?

15$ an hour is nothing.

You are literally a fuckwit. I think the only reason you posted here is because you got excited to fuck that guy's chicken.

I know we have some low IQ motherfuckers here, but the chef is literally responsible for the food from prepping it thru serving it. Serving bad clams is literally his fucking fault.

Shitty food is not a problem for anyone on the Titanic, they are all fucking dead. So why bring it up? Because you are fucking stupid.

You cannot spell "income tax" or "probably" and somehow you think you are worth more than minimum wage.

Wages and benefits are 30% of the cost of business in most cases. Are you so fucking stupid that you think raising wages 50% does not increase the cost of goods and services? That money comes from someplace.

Show us your 2021 or pending 2022 W-2 and prove you are making far more than that easy $100K any idiot can make.
 
Nice chicken.
These are Isa Browns, solid egg layers too. I had 5 in the beginning and was getting 35 eggs a week. Far more than my small family could use, so they become great trade fodder. People love baking with backyard eggs. It was a good run, we are down to 3 and they are old, but I still get at least a dozen eggs a week if not more.
 
I'd like to do that one day, however around here if I want to live somewhere that I can still drive to work every day, most likely having chickens would result in boots and guns coming to my house to explain how I'm not allowed to do that.
Sounds like a sad place, I’d have to move away. Round here, they ask if I have any eggs to trade off or sell. Probably wish I had more chickens to help control some bugs as well
 
1. Stop putting that shit in your body. You’re paying those corporations to kill you.

2. The workers making $15/hr aren’t the problem and neither is their wage. That’s shit money (especially now) and even if they work full time, they aren’t able to afford stability in their lives. I get those jobs aren’t meant to be careers, but don’t take it out on the ones who have to deal with the worst people in the world every day all day just so they can afford Ramen.

3. Redirect your anger to the corporations. Stop giving them money.

4. Ignore everything I said and just eat at Chick Fil A. Sure, you’ll spend $50, but at least it will be their pleasure…and the only fast food worth getting.

Wage stagnation has been a significant issue for decades. Top pay for executives has gone up exponentially while the government and corporations have purposely worked to keep wages low and eliminate your purchasing power.

And these dumb cocksuckers are comparing about someone making $15/hr.
 
Call names when you can’t dispute you’re a net negative on society.

Without you taxpayers would pay less
Without you taxpayers would pay less. Again you are showing complete ignorance of how and where money comes from. Most peoples industries are subsidized or only exist due to government funding or regulation. I'm not a champion of big government and there is plenty of waste that could be cut, but that not going to change anytime soon. So what can you or anyone else do.

Would you rather have someone in there who is fiscally conservative and helps runs programs that save taxpayers money and provides good value or more rabbit liberals who think they know what's best for you and don't care about wasting money. You people have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

The same faggots complaining about government workers would be the first to scream murder when their food poisons them, planes start falling out of the sky's, the electricity goes out, their houses burn down or the traffic lights stop working. Everyone likes to think they are some rustic tough guy while they sit their fat asses in a lazy boy eating cheetos and watching yellowstone between Bush lights.

Complaining about something you can't or aren't willing to change is a waste of effort. Also, let us know what company and what you do for a living so we can decide if you are a piece of shit or not.

Did you take stimulus money?

Welcome to Bidenflation.

Gas was 1.20$ a gallon when I was in high school and the fast food joints were paying 8$ an hour. Today gas is 3.80$ at that same gas station so you'd have to be making about 32$ an hour to keep that same ratio.

The way we are going gasoline will be 38$ a gallon and McD's will be a luxury item.
 
Exactly why nothing happens. Divide and conquer.

Give people $15 an hour and then rile up the other side to demonize them.

While they are fighting the elites are fucking everyone.
