Is $20/hr the NEW (unofficial) Minimum Wage?

Who would want to work for anything less?

Even 20 an hour is peanuts.

It took a 5k sign on bonus and 30/hr before I would even respond. It get what you vote for.

You ain't entirely wrong

But for entry level positions, can the economy afford it?

Seems to me, if you wanted to destroy a currency, this is how you do it.

I break my ass for 17/hr

you're young and unskilled...so hard work and low pay is normal.

Im 44 and can drop a 70ft tree in between to old ladies having lunch together without knocking a sandwich out either of their hands .


Im just kinda ugly and have a bad attitude ....heard the word caveman more than a few times ...

So I just will never get ahead .

That's ok . If I wasn't broke I just wouldn't be me .

two* ..... sausage fingered that lol

All employers and manager class are assbrains, it is HR and the managers who ruined America, even moreso if they are democrat garbage voters..
I gladly would see everything fail, fuck them I hate making placement agency dickcheeses rich.
Scumbags surfing on the backs of the workers, I get twenty indians per week schleppiung my resume around, it's a nightmare brought by HR cunt regime. I want no one in power to make onbe nickel with this layers of agencies bullshit. If you surf another man's labor you're a fuckin displeasure to Christ.

Do you think the Christian mindsety has anything to do with sitting back and collecting a lunch off the top of another man's work?

You can never tell a fucker he is a fucker he will laugh at you. Temp agencies and payday loans two things I would eradicate with flame and pain, when empowered to do so.

In fact RV park managers, Temp agencies and payday loan places are all legit targets imo, when this rolls up.

You have to see the future in a fun light, and I do.

Same here. Still I regret going back into the market because I was getting by on working part time for myself. 30 an hour isn’t really much when the prices are so inflated.

All the women are going to turn into good girls again when they get laid off. Men with skills will become the top earners of society again.

a bare living

Yup, and now we wait. Sometimes people gotta suffer to pull them out of their delusions. I'm really glad though even through the Obama years I stuck through with Machining and Welding even though the dems fucked us so hard. But now I could drop my resume and gets tons of calls without even trying, not even applying, just by putting that shit on indeed.

Shit's wild.

Er with inflation it's more like 14$ per hour? maybe less

You are paid what you are worth, and a minimum wage job isn't worth $20/hr...

Work your brain and learn a valuable skill...

I was 17 and already had two years of apprenticeship under my belt...I made minimum wage when I was 14...

Yeah, my current employer recruited me off of indeed also.

I do think the trades are going to take a hit though, I’m prepared to go back on the road and follow the work.

Im also a welder. Im a sheet metal worker.

For whatever it's worth I have a cousin who works at Taco Bell making 18 an hour. Not management or anything. Just works the drive through. Nothing special. And he still watched 14 people walkout at once.

See all you have to do is get people like musk to stop valueing their work to be 2 million times more valuable than even a doctors. Then then economy could easily afford it.

Do you know that the Average net worth in America is around 800k? Yet the average persons net worth isnt 800k its more like 100k. However, despite making up so little of the population, these rich fucks pay themselves so much money that the average person is no where near the average net worth. So if you really want to know what would be straining the economy its not paying higher minimum wage, its that these rich fucks basically value the commons man job like if it was literally labor done by an ant. meanwhile 1 day of work for them, according to them is worth more than a man will work his entire life. Bullshit.

U have to be a completely clueless fkn idiot before the Illuminati

will even consider you for a real job let alone more than $20 hr

These threads are a shit flume designed for you to show up.

*sniff* *sniff*

"Smells like BRIEF!"

Lol! Does anyone remember the huge lines to fill out applications at taco hell during the Obama era? I feel as though we’re going to see that again!

90% of the thousands upon thousands of garrustas, can make a better taco than our white pepsico assholes.

Soon! every fast food restaurant will become automated and they will only employ 2 people, one to run the cash register and one to box up the burger... Think about it!! more people will become unemployed as a result of skyrocketing inflation!!

a couple years ago, minimum wage was $15/hr
and my house was worth $150,000

and so last year at some point min wage went to $20/hr
and I sold my house for $200,000

and the silly thing is all ya'll thought you got a raise.

you didn't.
the government devalued the dollar.

but go ahead and revel in your raise while it lasts

Flipping burgers only requires a peanut sized brain.

In a perfect world of people, perhaps....but this isn't a perfect world of people.

Actually, in a perfect world of people, there wouldn't be a system of money controlling us.

Ain’t nothing changed but the date. Unskilled people will always get paid peanuts

Until I am paid in actual ammunition,
paid in .223 or top shelf shotgun shells,
then I will not consider this problem solved.
I would suggest you listen to folk like me.
