those jobs are available or will be once the dems end their science experiment with the lockdowns,,,did you know food literally grows right out of the ground?? and in most places does that with little to no help??I'm trying to figure out how that makes sense,,that has nothing to do with government hand outs,, and it also reduces the amount of jobs available,, so in the end what youre doing is hurting the low income worker not helping them,,exactly who and how are you supporting them??why would you need my permission??then stop the billionsThe owner of the company takes all the risks, makes all the sacrifices, puts in all the insane hours to get the company up and running. That's a far cry from a teenager coming in after school for a few hours to learn a trade or get some work experience. It's a false comparison. You might as well complain that the janitor in a hospital should be paid more because a heart surgeon gets paid a lot. The company depends on the leadership making sound decisions, it doesn't depend on a teenager working for some weekend spending money.and what about a teenager still living at home??what is a fair or living wage??not all states are dealing with it,, and whats more general welfare than giving all americans the right to work without being extorted???One has to chuckle at the "Libertarian" looking for the Federal government to take over what the states address now.
Ol Rand is really struggling to find a niche.
Giving them a fair wage for for working. A job that doesn’t pay a living wage is useless. Taxpayers should not have to subsidize wages for the working poor. If your company can’t pay living wages it doesn’t deserve to be in business.
in my world thats about 75 an hr,,,
A fair wage depends on the job and where you live. A living wage is one that will put a roof over your head and food in your belly and provide basic living expenses.
Wages, as a percentage of income, are now at the same level as they were in the Gilded Age, when the Robber Barons ruled. Over the past 40 years, corporations have absorbed increases in the cost of property, raw materials, insurance, transportation, equipment and supplies. Executive income has increased by 1000% over the same time. And profits are are at a record high. But the buying power of working class income has actually declined during the same timeframe.
should they be paid what a family if 5 needs to provide a roof and food??
are you also saying business's should pay people based on their family sizes and desired living conditions???
If Musk and Bezo's get billions there is nothing wrong with a teen getting $15 an hour.
IOW, you're ignoring the thousands of business owners who not only do NOT get billions, but barely pay themselves a salary in order to keep their company afloat. Musk and Bezo are outliers, NOT the norm.
There is zero risk when the government is giving you billions.
I'm all for that. Are you granting me the power?
I've been pushing for it for decades and one of the biggest reasons I dont like or vote for dems or repubes,,
Neither do I. I go a step further though and support those harmed by the practice.
so far you just want to make it worse by expanding government handouts,,,
By supporting them in programs that offset the harm. Like raising the minimum wage.
I'll be advocating for a basic wage for everyone when the billionaires get rid of the jobs.
People have to eat. We can pay them or they can steal it.
and if they do steal it and end up in jail or dead doesnt help them,,
or god forbid they work for it,,,
You can pay for their incarceration (thousands of new prisons) or pay them a wage.
of course they will have to contend with all the illegals biden plans on letting in or giving asylum,,,
as it stands right now the only people not working are the ones that refuse to,,
