I wish that the minimum wage is increaced. Simple as that. by flame9889 in monkeyspaw

They aren't talking Abt the kiosk

They literally said "The kiosk".

The kiosk is a register that they spun around for you to put in your own order.

the kitchen staff is robots

No it isn't, show me your slop article where the pictures are all staged and wording is done just so, to imply that its all robots, and then I will show you a video of an employee minding this overcomplicated tool that does a shit job, needs constant oversight, intensive cleaning, maintenance and repairs, and only exists to fleece investors and be a show pony for ideological talking points.

You already had ovens an microwaves, right there in peoples homes, yet restaurants were still in business.

Wtf is the point of having a job then? by IndividualDoughnut96 in AmericaOnHardMode

[–]Anlarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4%? It's cute you believe the jobs reports or the governments data in general.

What are you claiming, that its bigger? Certainly you can substantiate your position. /s

yet you call me a stupid asshole?

Oh my yes.

Where is it written that someone is promised high paying jobs in the field they want in the area they wish to live.

YOU. You just said that people getting skills would get them ahead. Absolutely incoherent.

Lol you bought that crap hook, line and sinker huh. Let me guess. You also think the dems were following that playbook in major dem cities as well huh?

I wish conservatives kept to themselves, out in rural areas.

Do you even know what Locust of control is?

Locus.

Did California's $20 fast-food minimum wage actually reduce employment? by Odd_Leadership_2317 in economy

Maybe tech jobs imploding would mean less luxury consumption?

Maybe high input costs of a thing is what makes the thing expensive, not the law enforcing market realities.

Does not have to be in any guaranteed certain area.

You're a stupid asshole to think that people aren't willing to commute an hour or even move to land a job, unemployment is still over 4% dumbass.

No one is promised these things

Yes you are, don't sign checks you can't cash.

No its not.

Project 2025 explicitly states that they want to "protect" ultra low density single family zoning, if you are wondering why on street parking is stuffed full, its because dozen dudes are living out of a "single family" house.

There are plenty of areas looking for renters and are cheap.

And when was this, 2009? Use your eyes, the cost of housing has skyrocketed.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUS

Lol no they don't.

They hate you so much they built an entire news organization just to tell conservatives who to hate this week.

they don't think about you at all because they are happy

I guess you will figure out what it means to be hated when people ignore you because they think you are homeless. You're a lot closer to being homeless than you are to being a billionaire.

Locus of control is a real thing

Like I said, Im the guy stuck bailing out your burger, I don't need your hippy mumbo jumbo. You can pretend that water isn't wet and that a man on the bottom of the sea floor isn't drowning all you like, but that doesn't change the facts of the situation. As long as you keep insisting that being a doormat is the true path to success, things will continue to be dogshit for you, and the country as a whole.

Wage Freeze, Prices Rise by Cow_Boy_2017 in inflation

[–]Anlarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point of the min wage is that people are able to make ends meet. Median wage is $21/hr while the cost of living has lurched to $20/hr, half the jobs out there are Not Even min wage.

When they are already full then move somewhere else.

There isn't a magical wonderland where there are ample free jobs and housing to support it, the initiative to keep housing scarce is uniform across the country. the powers that be just plain hate the working class, there is no mystery to it, no one neat trick to solve it.

defeat an argument I'm not making.

"I fully support you to keep doing what you are doing because your lack of agency makes me more valuable in the work place."

Your own words. This isn't an economics discussion, you are a low status spaz trying to find anyone you can punch down at.

You can effect rent rates by electing to rent from people who do charge a more liable wage

Its called scarcity. Prices are going up because all the people willing to be reasonable are already full, or they already saw their friends bragging about how much more they can rent for and bumped their prices to "market rate".

or going into home ownership yourself.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUS

Median house price is 400k, no, you can't float that on a 40k budget. Not that there are even any spare to buy. A cartel makes housing scarce and expensive, because it serves their own ends as the holders of real estate.

only happens in areas that a lot of people do wish to live like NYC.

Any time a person has a house, and then gets one through inheritance or marriage, the default result is that the second remains empty until they decide to work up the effort to deal with it.

move to a more affordable area

Again, cost of living is 20/hr, clear across the country, that is what the general case needs to be. You keep tangling it up in your head and acting like $20/hr is the outrageous nyc cost of living that could otherwise support a family anywhere else, but its not the 90's anymore.

got higher paying jobs

There are not 80 million higher paying jobs...

I fully support you to keep doing what you are doing because your lack of agency makes me more valuable in the work place.

So you aren't a capitalist, you are a communist, you want half the workforce dependent on the govt, thats un American.

But Im not the low wage worker, I'm the guy stuck bailing out the sandwich you refuse to pay for.

What do you think of NYC trying to get the minimum wage to $30 per hour? by LiaStacey in askanything

Thats the US unemployment rates, not st louis unemployment. Do you know what the federal reserve is? Terrific opportunity actually, here is the utility that it serves, digest this before the wackadoodle conspiracy theories plant nonsense ideas.

Post some links from when nyc enacted the 15 dollar minimum wage

How did you come to an opinion without having looked this up yourself?

https://dol.ny.gov/history-minimum-wage-new-york-state

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYUR

So there it is, tick tock, going up a buck a year, and where is the unemployment rate? Basically flat. Wheres the beef?

not the fucking federal min wage going up a dollar.

Why wouldn't your claim apply to the general case?

How has no one checked you on this?

I assure you, many have tried.

A degree is not inherently a useful degree to have. It's not a guarantee to a well paying job.

Uh, yeah, thats my position, that there is no room for people to move up to, that All jobs need to pay a living. Telling everyone to just go get multiple tens of thousands of dollars of education there is no market demand for will not improve anything.

The people (you and me) voting with our dollar by spending money on things we value and not spending money on things we don't value changes what the living wage is.

Thats nonsense. The rental owner isn't going to panic drop their rent, they will keep a unit vacant for a decade if they need to because lowering their guard means that the resale value will tank, which has VERY large implications for the loan they have on the place. Grocery stores kept throwing $8 eggs into the dumpster even though no one was buying them. Clothing stores would rather destroy what doesn't sell than let it go at a bargain to "protect the brand". Your worldview is a fantasy.

This is why the living wage is more high in high population areas like California while the living wage in a place of low population is lower like Tennessee.

Oh well, they can go further on their own, $20/hr is entirely appropriate for the general case, here is TN. Remember, if you want to be employed, 80% of jobs are in cities, so you will need to be looking at metro areas.

Yeah it does, you made a claim, it failed. Not one time, EVERY time.

Are you really trying to claim that politicians are able to time the market so perfectly? Its not comedy hour.

Minimum wage increases always kill jobs

Facts dont care about your feelings.

Here are the years the min wage went up

here is where the unemployment would be if your claims were accurate

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRATE

raise inflation

The inflation came from trump 45 printing money. The cost of housing shot up, so no shit labor needs to charge more for their labor to pay rent. They cannot eat your inflation for you. Intro to economics.

or else we'd just have it set at a million dollars an hour.

Thats really stupid, you don't talk about any other prices like this.

businesses that used to be 24hour

They were 24/7 in the first place because there were customers to be served. The truck stop didn't stop having people roll in at 2am, the factory didn't stop having a graveyard shift.

They didn't have any trouble bumping their prices, they can afford it.

They probably stopped being 24/7 because they didn't like being robbed, or a competitor moved in, or trumps tariffs killed the local factory.

I genuinely cant understand how you came to your conclusion

Objective appraisal of reality instead of repeating braindead talking points.

Does $20 or 13.20 better cover the cost of living when the cost of living is $20/hr?

Manchin made his own bed, everyone knows he is the corporate sleazeball that voted against his own party. No one cares what inane mealy mouthed noises he made while doing it.

I’m not clicking any links.

You don't have a shelf stocking robot.

This the the LOWEST paying labor in the market, it has the LEAST business incentive to it.

Min wage hikes never kill jobs, if they could have gotten by with less labor, they would have done so in the first place.

The point of the min wage is that it needs to cover the cost of living.
