Sup Darrin, how quickly did Dry January end for you?
There's nothing that says wages have to increase with inflation. So extending the stairs just means there's a corporate ladder, or a technical ladder, or some form of progression. That doesn't mean the entry level needs to be raised as well. Just don't stay at the entry level. If it was too low no one would take it. So you'll work for 7.50 an hour? Ok how about 15?
like women.. "We never go where I want to go for dinner" "Ok where do you want to go? It's your call" "Wherever you want, doesn't matter to me" (pulls into a parking lot of a restuarant) "I knew it"
Pretty much this but there is a huge infighting among the Whitehouse and the media who they should get behind for 2024. The News MSN, CNN, ABC, love them Kamala but she makes AOC look like Ellen Musk and Butigig is not going to get any votes from Hispanics or the Blacks. The Left has put themselves in a corner it’s All In for a female minority to be next President and best candidate be damned
Of course there’s nothing that says wages should be indexed to inflation, however, inflation doesn’t just magically disappear if you don’t. That wage is being effectively depreciated, while prices do get adjusted, so largely it’s the employer that’s pocketing the difference. This happens not just at the lower wage range, but at any wage range. Low inflation is inherently not a terrible thing in economic terms (much more preferable than deflation or high inflation), but it does have that effect on wages and once enough time has gone on without some sort of adjustment, that’s how you get to non-livable wages.
As far as why would people work for the minimum? Well, some people need to make money. Some people can’t qualify for a better job. Some people need two jobs to make ends meet and take what’s available to them. Everybody wants to be a manager or a boss, but not everybody can get that job.
Inflation and wages are different issues. Wages can go up and I'd bet you don't think inflation needs to rise to accommodate. Though it would be great if wages were always adjusted to meet rises in CoL, it doesn't mean that the wage discussion has to be focused on the CoL. The focus should instead be on creating a more marketable employee, not on forcing an employer to pay more for entry level work than the market dictates. Whether or not the market dictates 15 an hour for an entry level job, it really doesn't have much to do with minimum wages. There are many jobs that pay more than minimum wage for entry level work, there's just some that don't because the line of people who aren't qualified to do the work for whatever reason (can't get there on time, drug habits, criminal record, past employment history, etc...) is incredibly long. When employers cannot find minimum wage workers, they'll have to raise the offer or change the category of employee they are looking for.
Someone decides to not get vaxxed, let them die. If that same someone decides to quit school, give them more starting pay. Sorry, but I was born dirt poor and have worked for less than minimum wage. I didn't stay that way. If you cannot afford to have kids, don't. I am pro choice, anti abortion. Choose to not have babies.As far as why would people work for the minimum?

For people immigrating from areas where advancement wasn't possible, that's a different issue. Many of those people including Asians and Indians do just fine, they do better than fine.
I tip really well, and mostly in cash so they can decide on their own if they want to report it or not. I don't just offer a buck and good luck, vote dem, maybe your wages will be increased. Pretty sure I gave WH23 a 10 spot he framed.
Of course there's always enlistment into the military. That's how I got out.
Max unemployment comes to about 13.50 an hour, fwiw.
Joe Biden doing just Peachy
You want people to be infected now.
You picked your lane.
Whats the latest on Joey B getting tests out to each and every American?
Are the Repug Hitler Bot elements and Munchkin - AZ still blocking every chance they get?
...It's called "resisting," Mult. You taught us that tact quite well.
Let us proceed...
The tests dont work well vs omicron.
Plus people will get them once omicron wave has peaked
That was true a week ago. A week later you don't hear that no more/not even from FOX. That news is forbidden.The tests dont work well vs omicron.
Plus people will get them once omicron wave has peaked
They're tryin' to work it out.
Hard to imagine dems not getting absolutely hammered during the midterms, although there's a lot of time between now and Nov.
what will the Dems run on? run against? run for?
Repug House will almost certainly impeach Biden, just pure harassment, obstruction, deny governance, like they did with Obama and Clinton.
Americans might be stupid to blame inflation and the omicron phase of the pandemic on Biden and the Dems,
and stupid enough to think the Repugs will do the tiniest for them. Capitalist/Christian fascism gonna the Confederate/red states harder
Your boy doesn't even know what year it is.
Depends on how well they cover the nursing home/dementia patient demographic.
He agrees, let's go Brandon. Are you from Oregon? What's your home?
