How can they pay their fair share when they cant go to work?

This is from your link.

"The increase stems from the pandemic-driven unemployment surge – some 20 million Americans lost their jobs when the economy shut down – and the unprecedented government response to the economic downturn, including three stimulus checks, boosted federal jobless benefits and the expanded child tax credit. "

You will never get more than 60% of your fair income if you work for someone.

Far rightwing white supremacists typically break their tools when they are done w/them.

What do restaurants have to do with it? You do realize more than restaurants are affected by your choice not to get vaxxed right?

 

[harmonica]

Asclepias they are lazy dumbasses ...they can work, they just don't want to

 

[Asclepias]

Not true. If you work for someone they tell you what your fair income is.

 

[Moonglow]

Untrue since their are mitigating factors that a prospective employee can't negotiate.

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Not true. If you work for someone they tell you what your fair income is.

not if you are paid on performance, if you aren't that is on you. so again you determine your fair income

@Asclepias they are lazy dumbasses ...they can work, they just don't want to

Sounds like my oldest daughters mother. I doubt everyone is like that.

 

[Moonglow]

And you will like it.

Which why I have been self employed for forty years.

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Untrue since their are mitigating factors that a prospective employee can't negotiate.

not if he/she bring something to the table. If your only goal is to show, get paid, and go home, that is on you

 

[harmonica]
