can you explain
so when Apple raises the minimum to $30 dollars you think Apple is gonna raise the wages of people already making $30 too
and you think Apple is gonna keep their prices the same as well
I am trying to understand your take

Everyone is struggling for workers so if apple wants to have their stores manned they'll pay up.

They can more than afford it because their profit margins are already insane.

Simple supply and demand.

All this corporation dikksuckin has stagnated worker bee wages for decades now while executive pay has skyrocketed but no one says shyt about that.

30 might be a cyse but for a "premium" company like Apple they can easioy do a minimum of mid 20s.

There was profit sharing and legit pensions with your employees before the government let rich mufukkaz take control of the economy.You could actually take care of your family on single incomes working union jobs until the rich and Corporations embedded that unions were bad. Completely ignoring the fact that workers have many of the standard perks they have today due to unions fighting for workers rights.

Think about it. If the cost goes up and nobody buys, will they let the company go bankrupt?

Can you actually see APPLE going bankrupt and shutting down because they pay their employees a living wage? When has something like that EVER happened?

If you can't afford to pay your employees, you have a bad business that deserves to fail in a free market. If you consider yourself a capitalist, you already know that if they fail, another company will do what they do and do it better.

The bigger a company gets, the less competitors can stand against it and the product or service stagnates in quality. If Apple loses money and stops being a juggernaut it means that you as a consumer will have more and better options.

In a free market, it's no such thing as a living wage.

35k is a pitiful salary. The thought should be on increasing wages across the board, not just for a few.
Won’t happen. The current liberal agenda is to encourage unionization that will allow for organizational union busting efforts that will compartmentalize and bureaucratize future worker uprisings.

There’s a reason why Joe Biden got up on stage and “supported” the Amazon union.

You guys don't get that the cost gets passed on to the consumer?
You guys don't get if you have a low-level job you are always going to be at the bottom of the economic ladder.

:jawalrus:

Pay those bottom workers $30 and above.

What’s your end game here? Help me understand.

It seems some people only have a problem with capitalism when it affects large corporations and monopolies, but it’s all good watching entire generations of people be burdened with debt while struggling to keep a roof over their heads and food on their table…. but hey, as long as the price of iPhones don’t do up it’s all good… I’m more interested in the mental gymnastics that allows one to have a problem with this being a catalyst for increased iPhone prices while forgetting that Apple decided to bump their premium tier iPhone to $1400 while also removing the charging brick and earphones and managing to sell it to morons as a way to save the planet… they did all of this without a catalyst.

I’m also happy Gen Z is on their “we don’t give a fukk, pay us” shyt, because gen x and millennials are too pussified to make any real moves in fear of losing their comforts. I say let the chips fall where they may and it’s better we do it now… the current system is unsustainable, let’s not wait until it’s on the verge of collapse before we start thinking about reform. People have tried everything possible but all the powers that be do is take. fukk that.

LOL 30 dollars an hour to sell a cell phone get the fukk out of here.

Last time I was in the store dude didn't even know the difference from a USB-C cable and Thunderbolt 3 cable.
Most people that work in these stores dont know a goddamn thing about the shyt they sell but want money that someone with a skill, trade or degree gets. Its hilarious.
