He won't explain it.It's interesting you try to make this fantasy correlation between lack of skill and pay. Do you think a business would say "well he has no skills, let's pay him $2 per hour. I don't know the logic behind 2 per hour, but let's just go with it". Why doesn't the job itself matter? The actual work? Are you suggesting fast food workers (the average age is 29) should be paid $2 an hour? Based on what quantifiable measure is that? Many fast food workers are independent adults trying to make a living. Because they had no prior skill, they should be paid shitty regardless of how demanding their job is?Dude your entire argument is based on the same tired belief businesses shouldn't be forced to pay a certain wage. You can repeat that shit over and over but it wouldn't do anything to erase the objective facts I am giving you about poverty in America. Unless you have some other arguement why the minimum wage shouldn't be raised just stop now. I'm really sick of this personal choice bullshit about the jobs people accept. That isn't relevant anymore. People have NO CHOICE but to accept low wage jobs.It's not a matter of sympathy for business. It's a matter of what a business pays should be the choice of the business doing the paying not someone like you that doesn't own one. When it comes to the workers, I don't have sympathy for someone that makes personal choices in private life then expects the government force a business to pay for something totally unrelated to what pay should be based on, skills.
That you still claim workers are the overwhelming majority of the reason productivity is up and give lip service to technology invalidates your argument.
It could be 10 years ago or 10 days ago, it doesn't matter. You argument is based on situations not the only factor that should go into determining a wage, skills.
It is give and take. Someone works a job that is worth $7.25/hour and they get paid that much. That's fair. To say otherwise is saying fair involves making a business pay more than skills are worth determined by those not doing the paying.
Without a business, there would be no workers. If no business existed, no workers would exist. Therefore, before any worker position ever comes into place, the business must come first.
My argue is based on a business being the one to determine the wage not letting some asshole like you have a say in what a business you don't own pays.
Imagine the chaos if there was no minimum wage. What would stop businesses paying their workers 2.00 an hour? How would you feel then?
That's because businesses shouldn't be forced to pay a certain wage. It's not an employers place to bring someone out of poverty. It's the person's responsibility. The only thing an employer owes a worker is a wage equivalent to the skills the worker offers. An employer is in no way responsible for personal life choices that put or keep someone in poverty. That you think so proves you would never be successful in business. That you use the word dude to address me also proves it.
Low skilled people have no choice but to accept low wage jobs. That's because they have low skills.
I would feel fine if the skills that worker offers is worth $2/hour.
Okay now let's pretend there is no minimum wage again. What would stop a business from paying a skilled worker $4 an hour and a no skilled worker $2 per hour? You see how that works? There must be rules.
Since the skills required to make a burger are on about the $2/hour level, $2/hour sounds good. The only measure that matters is what the owner thinks the job is worth. What you think doesn't mean shit.
It's because they have no skills as why they get paid a low wage. If it's shitty, that's their fault for not offering more skills.
Skilled workers wouldn't be paid $4/hour because they are SKILLED.
I have figured out why you want rules for minimum pay. Otherwise, your dumbass would be one of those making $2/hour because what you have to offer is about one step above what a monkey could be trained to do.
Please explain how you have came to the conclusion that fast food workers are worth $2/Hr.
Seriously, explain your methodology here.
