Why companies should consider doubling their wages overnight for workers.

[initforme]

Ford did offer the 5 dollar workday and profit sharing in order for them to stay and not work for the competition.

It is hard to keep experience workers unless you offer them something more than what they can get across the street.

He did understand the workers.

Yep. Many here think workers are filth and hate them. Pathetic folk here.

I don’t. I honestly think you should start your own company and do it.

Not every American. So I can take that back and say major companies should consider doing what Ford motor company did in 1917.. All we have to do is look at American history. Look at how well it worked in the 20th century. The post World War II economic boom ushered in the greatest middle class in the history of the world right here in America largely because of democratic leader ship. Well in those days Democrats cared about America unlike today.

back in those days we didn’t have as many regulations, we did not have anti-Americanism, we did not have low patriotism rates among young Americans. We did not have drug issues that we do Today where many young Americans are totally fine with making the wage of an indentured servant as long as they can smoke drugs all day and watch their porn be lonely, live in a box all day. These were not issues back in the day.

So I can take that back and say major companies should consider doing what Ford motor company did in 1917..

They consider it every day. When they stop laughing, they don't do it.

I agree, leftists are the worst!

American labor is vastly underpaid but it always has been.

Simply because Henry Ford and Ford motor company doubled the wages of their workers in 1917 overnight. They literally doubled the wages. It was what some called revolutionary. And what It did was it benefited everybody, benefited the employer, the worker, and the economy in general

And guess what the excuses are today people say if a company raises the wages of their workers it’s just “going to increase the costs for the customer”. Well, all you have to do is look at Ford motor company the example that was cited here. It can be done and it should be done. It will benefit everyone. There’s more cash flow all over the place and it’s benefiting middle-class people if it’s done this way. Even though costs may have gone up a little bit in the 1920s, so what everyone benefited from what Ford motor company did.

If Amazon doubled the wages of their employees guess what would happen. ???Just like it was with Ford motor company in 1917. Amazon employees would use the extra money to buy Amazon products.

Because of those companies like Ford, General Motors, and republic steel We had the strongest middle class in the history of the world and we had it for about 70 years…

You could be onto something

Build the wall and expel any illegals already here

Then remove able bodied adults from getting welfare

After that companies would be willing to pay double and welfare bums would willingly take those jobs

If it's triple I might agree.

Otherwise you prefer welfare?

Government policies are a barrier to higher wages. Let’s say you pay your employee $20,000 per year. Because he is “poor” he will get more than 5 different types of government benefits directly or indirectly. He will live the lifestyle of someone making $32,000 per year. As a company you could pay your employee $31,000 a year. That employee gets no government benefits and you just unnecessarily paid $11,000 extra.

The government is in the way and I don’t think it is by foolish mistakes. I think it is deliberate. How smart do you have to be to get elected? How smart do you have to be to have the absurdly high paying bureaucratic positions? These aren’t dummies. They do this mess on purpose. Their motive? Beats me.

Nope but double wages aren't good enough. That's cheapskate mentality.

Based on what? Better than the interstate program?

 

[presonorek]

If the United States would pay 10% of the population $80,000 per year to not work, wages would rise eventually. It would work but there might be other factors to consider.

 

[presonorek]

Nope but double wages aren't good enough. That's cheapskate mentality.

Quadruple wages is better than triple. Multiplying wages ten times would be even better. If you want an even better society then make it 100 times. Shoot. That may not work. Multiply the wages by 1,000. The higher the increase, the better the outcome.

Is there a stopping point ? Everybody’s life would improve if their wages increase. The bigger the increase, the better the improvement.

You completely misunderstand the post war boom. The reason we had a boom is because most of the rest of the world was rubble.

England and the Soviet union had their own postwar booms. We had a postwar boom because of incredible leader ship from the government, including Republicans. And the will of the American people to prevail. It did not have to go like that…

In WW2 we could’ve had different leader ship and we could’ve had a different population kinda like we do today where a huge amount of young Americans are not patriots …they are using a bunch of drugs , watching porn, being alone, not having families and getting dogs instead of having kids…. Wasn’t like that back in the day

The United States government and the American people of the World War II era gave America the greatest middle class in the history of the world. It lasted for about 50 years.

the WWII generation spoiled the Baby Boomers rotten and its been getting worse ever since

 

[Markle]

Henry Ford and others did do that, and they are American heroes. They employed Americans of all religious background and racial background.

Ford motor company employed millions of Americans and boosted our economy.

We need another Henry Ford

Once again one of your notorious half-truths. In this case, about a 1/20th truth.

"This allowed Ford to increase his output from just over 32,000 cars in 1910 to nearly 735,000 cars in 1916"

I'm certain that most employers would happily double the wages of all their employees who increased their production by TWENTY TIMES!
