People do not understand certain basics.
Wages are a cost to the employer.

In order to make more as an employer, keeping costs down is vital.

Keeping your wages down, in relation to inflation is how the rich get richer.

The more millionaires out there means that there are many more people struggling.

The only way out of the cycle that has been created is to cut cost. Live with parents and family- do not go out to eat-learn to diy your car/home-do not fall into the debt trap-do not try to keep up with the Jones.



You should be using every trick you know to save money-from carpooling to plastic sheets on windows in the winter to bagging a deer in season to offset food cost.

I grew up with hand me downs and patches on my pants. Those days are coming back.

Starbucks here usually has 4 workers which at $11/hr is $44/hr. Each customer I see spends usually over $10-20 per order . They probably average 20 people coming in every 10 min

You telling me to raise their wage to $20 is gonna hurt Starbucks? Per hour that’s only $36 for 4 people

Are you soooo stupid ?

That brainwashing you do is such a bullshit lie. It’s called greed

You are a special breed of dense.
Payroll taxes, benefits, utilities, management staff cost, corporate staff cost, food cost, insurance, cost of napkins-straws and spoons , sugar. Amortized cost of setting up the store, repairs and equipment.

I agree it is greed. It is also greed for you to want more money for a bullshit job.
You just think your greed is more important.
In the US we have between 10-30 million illegal workers.
That problem exists because the political doner class wants cheap labor, and the problem is not going to be fixed anytime soon.

I say again, the only way to survive going forward is to cut your own costs. A minimum wage increase will decrease employment. If you do not see that then you really do not know how the upper classes operate.

If you look at this thoughtfully, you will realize that the middle class is an aberration. As the Bezos, Gates and Musks in the world get richer, that money comes from someone else.

That someone else is us.
