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

[TallMan_J]

This is a lie fed to you by conservatives, capitalists and disingenuous bullshytters.

It's not that "people didn't want the wages", it's that those jobs never really opened back up. Covid taught tyc00ns and small business owners alike that they can actually PROFIT from strictly operating with skeleton crews and simply posting signs apologizing for the poor/slow service because "no one wants to work".

Covid shutdowns and slowdowns made many people accustomed to slow or subpar service and when businesses realized that, they decided being continually short staffed while overworking the few employees they decided to keep was the way to go.

And if you doubt what I'm saying, where are all the people who supposedly didn't want to work for those wages now? Because the stimmys and unemployment been ran out so what are all those people doing to earn a living now?

All summer long fast food and retail spots simultaneously swore up and down they were hiring URGENTLY yet still remained short staffed, meanwhile I know a ton of teens who applied at every Taco Bell, Five Below, McDonald's, Walmart and Sonic (etc) in their area and didn't get a single call back, let alone an interview.

This is how you can tell the "people just don't wanna work" or "folks don't want to work for these wages" is bullshyt because a 16yr old will sling burgers for $7/hour just to have some video game and weed money.

Regarding the bolded… These are billion dollar corporations. They spend an infinite amount of money of research, marketing, lobbying etc. I find it difficult that these billion dollar corporations were not already aware of this. They didn’t just “realize” anything.

If you’re assumption about them purposely not hiring or (rehiring) more people is true, then they’ve known about its benefits all along and took advantage of the pandemic to implement it these practices.

And if what you say is true, then why are unemployment rates at all time lows and why is the economy thriving so well? At least, that’s what this administration claims every day. Wouldn’t there be a dip in unemployment if corporations were hiring less people? There’s also supposed to be a huge jobs surplus and they can’t hire enough people fast enough. That’s what Americans are being told every single day, so which is it?

No it's not, not based on the cost of living today

Middle Class people don't complain about rent, don't complain about home prices, Middle Class people do not live pay check to pay check

This is the reality for people making 100k today, I'm not making this up

Once again you don't understand the money, the biggest house on the block is the less valuable, because it brings up the value of all the smaller houses and those houses bring it's value down, you don't even understand how homes are valued, you never want to have the biggest house of the block because you are getting the worst deal

You don't even understand that, so how can you be middle class
middle class people know these things, they are financially literate, and make these types of decisions

Somebody making 400k can afford to buy a Ferrari, but they can they afford the Ferrari lifestyle, no

they have to treat the car with kid gloves and basically not even enjoy owing the car

Bruh… you’re wrong. The lifestyle you’re calling middle class is not middle class. It’s amazing how so many people can give your varying degrees of disagreement and you still won’t budge an inch.

You can have a decent savings, not live paycheck to paycheck, live in a half a million dollar house, eat out fairly often and go on a couple vacations per year and not earn anywhere near 400k per year….

The fact that a point you made is how much money rappers spend on jewelry is laughable to me. What does the irresponsible spending of rappers have to do with determining middle class.

Don't bother with that guy. He always posts these ridiculous takes and calls people stupid for not agreeing with him.

Thanks for letting me know. I was befuddled.

My G, this is one the dumbest posts I have ever read on here. You clearly don’t have money, don’t know anyone who has money and you’re just here to troll. What you just said about houses is stupid as fukk .

Yall should really watch this video. Especially the last 15 mins. What he's saying is disturbing. He's using flowery language but he's saying people need to lose their wealth/jobs to stabilize the economy while America can "afford" it. If the Fed waits, until a later economic period, Americas will become too accustomed to inflation and will start to expect economic dips. This will lead to less Americas spending money, causing further economic instability.

This economic "stability" is what allows the wealthy to predict economic trends and manage credit. It sounds like we are fully committed to turning the United States into a debt society. Them water/resource wars in the next generation or two are gonna be a trip

And he can just say this because no one is paying attention they too worried about Cardi B and Caresha

So what, Middle CLass isn't based on average of what people earn, I made that clear

Middle Class is a standard of a living, a lifestyle

No, words have meaning and "middle class" has a specific and widely understood definition.

You're damn near trying to argue that being middle class is a feeling rather than a very clearly defined thing at this point which is bullshyt.

We are already a debt society. We been one since the invention of credit cards.

Isn’t middle class just having assets and dividends that if you stopped working you wouldn’t be poor. Whereas the working poor or workin class has to work or they would fall in poverty? So salary alone doesn’t ensure being in the middle class, though the example of 400k a year would allow for the short term purchase of the things that would make you middle class. A 100k a year in the current economy wouldn’t allow you to purchase the assets or dividends to become middle class short term unless your cost of living was extremely low. Even then it would take a year or two of saving to have enough.

No they don’t Nîgga.

Then why they have two jobs for every worker ?

You're arguing semantics while ignoring my main point which you just helped prove.

And if what you say is true, then why are unemployment rates at all time lows and why is the economy thriving so well?

Are you aware of how "unemployment" rates are calculated in this country? They're at an "all time low" because after a certain amount of time unemployed individuals simply fall off the map. Do with that information what you will....
