“Middle Class Americans Have Too Much Money Saved, We Need To Take Away Jobs Improve The Labor Market”

[Ezekiel 25:17]

You're kind of wildly missing my point. First of all, Uber Eats and DoorDash aren't paying like that unless you're a dedicated sigma grindset type who has nothing but free time to dedicate to putting in 50-60hrs on those apps and lives at home. Second, most minors CAN'T participate in jobs that require not only a car but a valid drivers license and insurance so they can't exactly opt out of shytty fast food jobs. That being the case, how come your local Taco Bell (or whatever) is STILL understaffed??

Nah Uber/Door dash pays pretty decent on 40 hours. Even if it didn't pay as much as we think, it's far better than restaurant working and its better than $15/hr.

That's what happened with Covid and the free checks and then when jobs opened back up people didn't want the wages.

You sound like a chip off the ole GOP block.

How old are you breh? You sound 45+ and out of touch.

I'm 31....

So all these restaurants that lost out on a ton of business due to COVID in 2020 are now finally able to open up fully. But you're saying instead of opening up fully and rehiring to start trying to make that money back and get that same level of business pre COVID, theyre putting out fake "for hire" signs. Your theory is they stand to make more profit by having less workers thus having to limit their operating hours, having slow service leading to frustrated customers who will be less likely to return.

No, I'm saying they're fully open (and HAVE BEEN since 2021 or earlier btw), just operating with less staff and overworking the staff they have. Like I said, Covid conditioned a lot of people to just accept slow or shytty service because at one point there WAS a worker shortage due to restrictions and limitations and everyone had to be understanding but businesses quickly realized that people will take what they can get as long as you give them an excuse they can believe in so here we are in September 2022 hearing the same old bullshyt.

What sense does that make? As an owner who just lost a year of business you're willing to lose money getting half the customers doing half the business just so you can save on not having to hire a couple $5/hr waitresses? It doesn't add up

Again you're making the mistake of thinking that being half staffed means a business can only serve half the amount of potential consumers. This is false. Like I said before, they're doing the same business but paying less in labor and working current employees like dogs. They've even been able to squeeze out more profits by playing around with menus and getting rid of items or services they've been wanting to eradicate since BEFORE Corona but couldn't until Covid gave them the perfect excuse (think McDonald's all day breakfast menu).

Secondly you asked where are all those people who didn't want to work for shytty fast food wages. As I said before the average young worker would work fast food jobs for some play money ten or 15 years ago because that was the only option for getting play money.

Please show me all the 16yr olds making bank driving for Uber Eats instead of working at McDonald's or Popeyes. I'll wait.

The average young worker today has more avenues for getting that play money today. Avenues that didn't exist ten or 15 years ago. As mentioned - Uber/doordash/taskrabbit type jobs.

Why do you keep ignoring the fact that I specifically mentioned teenagers? You know, the ones who folks swore fast food gigs were only meant for all along? The average MINOR cannot do Doordash or drive for Uber but they DO like having pocket money so again, WHY are Burger King and Wendy's allegedly in desperate need of burger flippers?

A ton of remote jobs are available now that we're not ten years ago. Not to mention the extra streams of income they can get on social media platforms. The flexibility of these jobs are for more attractive to young workers than a fast food type job anyday

Yeah, I had my suspicions but this right here let me know that you simply exist in a separate reality. You SAY "a ton of remote jobs are available now" but how many of them are entry-level? Beyond that, in what field(s) exactly? And what type of experience or credentials do they require? Because many of those "remote jobs" actually want potential employees to be somewhat local (at least in-state) and to have a Bachelor's degree + hundreds of hours of very industry-specific training and experience.

I won't even bother with the "extra streams of income from social media" angle because that's a whole different ballgame and just you bringing that up shows you don't know wtf you're talking about.

Funny you called me "out of touch" when you don't even seem to understand WHO "young workers" even are.

Capitalism doesn’t function well if everyone wins, breh. The system needs winners and losers.

You can apply this to world stage as well to understand why we need certain countries to fail

You think poor countries are being sabotaged intentionally?

YES....

You need to make 400k a year to be middle class in America, he's not talking about working poor people which is the majority of America, yet people wanna front like that's not the case

What do you define as middle class?

 

[Kurt off them percs]

YES....

What do you define as middle class?

A middle class person is financial secure, not living paycheck to paycheck, like at least 200k in savings, goes on like 4 vacations a year, has college fund saved for kids if they have any, has community ties, human capital makes you middle class not just income, can buy a 300-600k home, Family SUV, Sedan, maybe even an RV for road trip,

Middle Class is a standard of living, the type of school district you live in places a factor as well

People really don't understand how much more money upper class people have than them

like what I describe sounds to be considered middle class, but an upper class person has a rolls royce and lambo in their drive way that cost more than that shyt I just wrote, and it's not even the beginning of their valuables.

People don't want to admit it but they are broke, they are on a thread and needle out here in these streets with no room for error

That's not middle class. A lot of people have what you said but NOT the savings. The car/home/SUV/vacations are paid for by loans and credit cards. Most people no matter what the annual salary cannot afford a random $1000 expense. They need to throw that bytch on a card and pay the interest

BTW- one of the reasons why u don't see younger people doing the fast food jobs anymore is because of job shaming. We have a culture now where everyone feels they have to portray a lifestyle 24/7 on social media. if an attractive girl 16-22-years old is caught at a fast food place forget it.. they'll probably off themselves.

YES....

Isn't it fukked up that when poor people from those countries try to better their lives by immigrating, they get resistance by the same ones keeping them in that situation?
