One Year Later, Here's What San Jose Looks Like After Raising the Minimum Wage

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

that's why not all people need to get paid the same
but we don't ever need to devalue another man's time below his need for dignity and community

Yeah. We do actually.

First of all, MINI WAGE is to ensure you don't get fukked on an ABSOLUTE level.

Further more MOST PEOPLE do no make mimimum wage.

EVEN FURTHER, if you can't rise above making minimum wage, then YOU have a problem.

no friend we don't, a life is just a life, ashes to ashes dust to dust
you are just repeating yourself and babbling at this point:youthink:
we are just here to try and have a good time and have others have as good of a time as us:yasure:
you can't take it with you and it is no reason to condone the torture of others

I'm MORE of a nihilist than you, and even still, this notion that people should always be paid enough to ensure they "live fairly" (still undefined by you ) is absolutely ridiculous.

Everyone should afford ferraris, brehs

 

[The Real]

Chilling.

 

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

*sigh*

Here we go... you're ASKING for minimum wage to cover this.

Tell me why I should advocate this idea?

I PERSONALLY do not think MINIMUM WAGE JOBS should afford these things, especially if they're entry level.

You gotta pick a struggle out here. If youre gonna be minimum wage you CANT be entry level too!

I'm not telling you to advocate anything since you obviously lack an understanding for the composition of our economy. Instead, I'm agreeing with an option to reduce economic disparity that has been proposed by legislators and corporate executives in some of the most successful cities in the U.S.

What do you even mean with the last sentence?

Can I hold these quotes until the next thread about impoverished communities and historically disenfranchised communities?

Your outlook on labor and the economy is identical to twism's outlook on education and social disadvantages.

Your economics suggests that minimum wages must ensure a quality of life. I disagree with such a notion.

Because y'all ain't getting it.

If you want mini wage to allow you to make it possible to have your kids in private school or for you to buy a new car every 4-5 years, just say so.

The point is that it ensures A FLOOR, not a standard.

That's why most people DO NOT MAKE MINIMUM WAGE.

We can argue maybe $10...but $15 is ridiculous. For entry level UNSKILLED labor?

What does race have to do with this?

Why is your ONLY option to raise wages of people to exorbitant scales???

We're talking $120 a day for ENTRY LEVEL WORK.



And yes, all wage levels must be increased...then what? It's all good for a little bit until the next round of people who can't by on the bottom need another bump.

This is the problem. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RELY SO HEAVILY ON MINIMUM WAGE. YOURE JUST NOT.

Stop making this out to be some attack on the poor. Scraping by isn't supposed to be the highlight of your life. The nation does better when people want to NOT stay in some jobs.

Hell, ask for industry specific wage minimum for things like agriculture or construction. Service jobs get less, etc.

Push for universal income.

Ask companies to pay their workers more.

Stop hijacking minimum wage as this single answer to all aspects of what people are owed.

If you're bagging groceries, you're not worth more that someone picking beans and corn or hammering nails.

Furthermore, you're getting paid so little because you're a new, unskilled laborer.

Why do we have a wage then?

I see your problem
in your mind, living fairly is a ridiculous joke to be likened to affording Ferraris:yasure:
frankly who can take you seriously after you bodied yourself:youthink:

you ask that like he will be able to think of an answer, when its the kind of thing that one needn't ask a logical sane adult:zfg:

 

[tmonster]

repeatedly ignore real living wage definition posted and create a living wage strawman so you can pretend to argue with it and pretend to have an argument worthy of discussion brehs:yasure:

To prevent ULTIMATE exploitation.

You still haven't defined "living fairly" OR why citizens must "live fairly" on minimum wage.

I'm STILL waiting on you to fill that in.
