Imagine how lazy you have to be to not move if your salary doubled.
Markets work when given the chance. Minimum wage laws have gone off the deep end. No one working at Mickey Ds flipping burgers should be making $15-20 per hour. All that does is forces the restaurant to raise prices hurting low income customers and forces restaurants to lay off those same employees. If a business can't get anyone to work for what they are willing to pay, they will be forced to raise wages without government interference.
Hey Stevie, how has Pujols’ season started? Are the Yanks any good with Pujols in the lineup?
The mcd's app makes ordering food on road trips a breeze. I suppose that only exists because of government mandated wage increases.
One key takeaway from your post. People took their job seriously and largely took pride in their work. Robots exist because people are unreliable and lazy now days. My last 3 fast food experienced have been awful due to employees giving little to no shits. I'd much rather order from a kiosk than an employee that is barely paying attention and Tik Toking while entering my order, yes that actually happened and my order was incorrect.
Median home price in 2009: $169,000
Newsflash: if you paid people a living wage that they can raise a family on and gave them benefits and treated them with basic respect… they’d take the job seriously.
A fact you need to come to grips with us that almost no human will ever believe they're paid enough for what they do.
You can live an ok life in many small towns for $30k a year. My town has some little houses selling for under $75k. We are not all born with the right to live in Waukee and Johnston no matter how pathetic our job skills are.
Weird, having those traits put me just outside the top 2% income earned at 35 with zero college education. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but if those traits didn't get you anywhere, that's a you problem. I see hard work paying off everyday.
And in many cities, $30,000 a year would not even afford you a two bedroom apartment.
For the record, people working at Burger King sweeping the floors, shouldn't expect to be able to buy a median priced home unless they advance, go into another field or buy the franchise.
If they like their gas car and gas stoves, way more than a Democrat can do for their gayness. Maybe not all gays identify themselves by what kind of genitals they prefer.
Agree. I think the lowest paying job out there should be the guy holding the SLOW sign at construction sites. That’s the bar for dumb people. $12 and hour for that job and it goes up from there. $12.50 if you dress up like Statue of Liberty outside of HR Block.
Yes they are called high school students who are probably seasonal or temporary workers with zero experience.Yes. More than 240,000 workers in the US make the federal minimum wage.

I think that’s the best way to differentiate yourself. It’s a lot harder now due to not seeing the LIV guys. So I’ll stick to past champions from there. I have a feeling Reed is gonna do well.
I can't really argue with any of this. However, I would add that most people will act/perform in accordance with how they're treated or valued. That is a lot different now.
It’s all I need to satisfy your question. You assume all gays only vote based on their gayness. They don’t. The person in that car is proof.
Hummm, I wonder if the increase in productivity had anything to do with computers, and the internet and had very little to do with workers actually working harder?🤨 The timing of that graph above would appear to indicate that wouldn't it?🧐Wages and production are decoupled - it's pretty obvious to any non-smooth brain:
Why not all of it?
So what's your point? The increase in productivity was able to keep inflation down for years, that was until we got Biden and he spent the country into a tailspin and inflation skyrocketed as a result despite increased productivity.
Based on what the R party stands fo and against what being gay actually is, it's strange to have a gay person want to be a part of that but that if course is their choice.
It seems like with every post that you make, you are competing against yourself for dumbest post of the year. Really quite remarkable.
I cannot stand ordering Kiosks and/or Apps. Our local Flix Brewhouse attempted to force the ordering app on us. It was during opening day for Dune 2. I wound up with a Diet Dr. Pepper (fat finger on my part) and during the movie I kept seeing screens lighting up with people trying to order crap.
I told them if my MIL or Mother were forced to use the app my MIL would throw her phone across the theater and my mom would just chose not to eat. ...and if I forgot my glasses, then it'd be a no food order for me as well. LOL
Apparently my complaints, along with many others, forced Flix to rethink their decision. We were told a month later at Kung Fu Panda 4 that the app was now optional.
It kept a lot of things down for years, including wages.
