You must be living in a 1% bubble. All those options are way more expensive and lots of poor people dont even have internet.

Lotta people in this thread living in a bubble. That article isnt about dollar General, it’s a long term economic forecast. They’ve taken the heavy industry and offshored it for the most part. Now they’re getting ready to take the floor out from alotta the sit down “analyst” jobs too.

Are people really this poor they shopping for groceries at Dollar tree store?

Only time I stepped in a Dollar tree this whole year was a few days ago for cheap Xmas gift bags for all the presents I got everyone

Are you dumb?

Of course the guy running a strip club has a skewed perspective on socio-economics. Jesus fukking Christ

It’s a service based business, just like any other and he’s right. Businesses aren’t going to eat into their profits, they’re gonna pass the cost increases onto us. But in the end his business will still probably fail because his consumers won’t be able to keep up with the rising costs.

It’s an economic squeeze in order for the mega corporations to drive out/absorb competition and gain market share. There’s a reason Dollar Stores are able to keep costs at a fixed rate despite increases in wages and cost of living and everything else.

He’s not right
His argument was “we can’t raise wages because then I have to pay people more”

He wants to run a business by underpaying his workers. He’s sayin “the cost of living is really high here, so fukk raising minimum wage “ it makes no sense unless you’re a capitalist a$$hole that thinks not paying your workers a livable wage and pocketing the difference is how you maintain a business

I’m not a capitalist. But I won’t let that keep me from trying to understand capitalism.

It’s not complicated. You don’t pay people their actual value and pocket the difference. Then when people ask for higher wages say “No “

Then convince stupid people to cape for you by tricking them into believing in social Darwinism. “Those people are rich because they worked hard and are smart. I sure hope some of those crumbs trickle down.”

Why can’t they use amazon Whole Foods delivery, Peapod or instacart?

There’s no such thing as a food dessert

You can't be serious...

$15 a hour min wage has already happened in multiple big cities (San Francisco and Seattle) its done nothing positive except raise prices on already expensive shyt. The people who got the pay raise still live in poverty as every business just raised their prices to off set the min wage... as we tried to warn everyone..

Toll on the Bay Bridge is going up another $1 in January ($6 per pass through soon itll require you $50 just to drive to San Francisco and park for 2 hours............... not even including any other activities. Parking $20-30 + $12 toll if you live in many of the suburbs of the bay area)

McDonalds meals are now almost $10 a piece (got 2 cheeseburgers large fries and large drink on a drunk night 2 weeks ago, came out to $9.20... this is 30 minutes out from San Francisco as well)

almost all restaurants now have a sign next to the register that says due to increase of wages we have added an additional fee to cover this

raising the min wage did nothing except hurt everyone. Its not the wages that are the issue im not sure why so many people dont understand this? Raising the wage will never help. We need to lower the cost of living.. and yes their is a difference..

you live in expensive ass frisco.

that dude is running a business and providing a real example of his costs that result from new laws. meanwhile you're in other threads saying shyt like "i'm on food stamps ", never providing any real solutions, but believing that your white liberal guilt is the answer for socio economics

i think i know who i'll listen to

this dude is giving examples from expensive ass San Francisco area. Higher min wages didn't fukk up the cost of living in those places. Part of the problem is minimum wages were supposed to be update with inflation. what's his excuse going to be when his nightclub doesn't have any patrons because people can't afford to go the club? We are already seeing people leaving expensive places like SF, LA, and NY and going to cheaper parts of the country because the cost of every thing already went up before minimum wages went up. The people that money was flowing too got used to ballin at the expense of the labor class, now they complaining because they might have to be a little more fair to the labor class.

minimum wage hikes cause companies to raise the price of what they provide. i'm not going to argue that with you

now i think the minimum wage SHOULD be slowly raised to keep up with inflation, and we can all pay those higher prices. but what he said was not incorrect

 

[David_TheMan]

Dollar stores trying to provide groceries for people at even lower prices and some how this is turned into a negative.
Liberal c00ns are brain dead. LOL

because people living in poverty don’t have access to this or can afford it.

 

[Real]

No big deal imo. Now if they said Winn Dixie, food lion, or publix, then I'd be shocked.

I honestly dont know ppl that shop @ whole foods like dat

 

[Nintendough]

I buy certain food from family dollar. Pretty much all household shyt from dollar general.
