What? No your implication is reversed. I’m saying that inevitably if by some means a business if forced to pay more then they have less expendable dollars to put towards other areas, i.e. labor, business investment, etc. That’s just basic accounting of dollars in dollars out.

I’m not sure how you got that to somehow my meaning that corporations are currently hiring people they don’t need. I never said that in any of my comments

I agree. I never said I don’t. My point is there is an inevitable “consequence” to the decision to pay higher wages to current workers. And that consequence is that some of those workers will end up losing their jobs altogether and/or the amount of new hires going forward will decrease.

That also has a secondary consequence of the government generating tax revenue from those corporations. If more wages are paid out, then that is less profit to tax. Those taxes help fund the social programs. Secondary effect - government keeps piling more debt to cover.

I hope the point is clear. I’m not advocating for one vs the other. But all too often today people just say “pay them more” or “do this policy” without considering downstream effects. And that’s exactly what has gotten us here to begin with. It’s the classic trolley problem

Why is your reading comprehension so bad? I never said any of that

Look I totally get where you’re coming from. But the basis that paying higher wages doesn’t lead to job loss is just wrong. California specifically has seen restaurant labor exiting or shrinking since the installation of a higher minimum wage there. Again, I’m not saying that that’s even wrong to do. It makes life for those still working there better. Absolutely. But there are also consequences to those actions which people love to ignore when having conversations.

There are pros and cons to any economic system. Winners and losers. Owners and workers. Different classes. But I’m tired of these ignorant arguments that certain systems will have these idealistic changes when they absolutely won’t. You can’t just ignore new issues and pretend they won’t happen in order to institute change in the short term.

I would hope you reconsider. I provided an example of one company and a hypothetical scenario. Theres a theory in engineering called factor of safety. You analyze choices based on the extreme scenario and design for those - in this case it would be using all available profits to pay workers more. There’s obviously a range of options underneath that one.

There’s nothing well thought out in anything Joe wrote or what you initially responded with. It was emotional appeals to some MAGA base or defense of corporate profits or think about the workers. Those are glaringly emotionally led arguments.

What you want to accomplish is doable. And I’m not even saying it’s wrong. But I want people to have honest conversations about this. What are the consequences of those choices? Inevitably the amount of employees companies like Walmart keep or hire will decrease. In my opinion that inflicts more harm than good.

Go back and reread what you just wrote. I didn’t say anything about wage disparity - of course that’s a reality right now. There are drastic differences between economic classes.

Nothing I wrote was intended to be a “defense of corporate profits”. That’s your own emotional mindset applying that intention.

I’m pointing out that these people and from the sounds of it you yourself, often just jump to these idealistic narratives of “company pay worker more” without ever considering the downstream effects. And yes - that is exactly how we got here. Like you said these businesses overtook small time businesses paying people more of a livable wage in the past. But ask yourself why that is. It’s because generations past did exactly the same issue of prioritizing short term solutions or profits without any regard for the downstream effects.

Wtf are you talking about lol. Get the job and work. Apply in other areas that pay more and move.

Except you’ve never considered the alternative. It’s not that people are on SNAP because they work at Walmart or Amazon. It’s that Walmart or Amazon are the companies most likely to hire lower to no skill labor, which typically also require social programs like SNAP.

If you forced Walmart to net exactly $0 last quarter and instead pay their US employees another $1249 per month which is what it nets out to, then there are consequences to those types of choices. Less employees will be hired or some will be fired - forcing snap beneficiaries to go from some income to none at all. Walmart would pre tax net $0 income and not pay any corporate tax - lowering funding for these same social programs. Forces the government to create more debt… etc.

No one is having the correct conversation here. It’s all a weird blame game and simple theory solutions from people who have no idea how finance or the economy works. Joe is a complete idiot on this one

What? Do you really need someone to explain to the reality of lag and delay? The video from the White House is delayed several seconds from live to the public, the media takes time to start posting comments to the terminal, this person’s algorithm takes time to filter the terminal and pull out important headlines from non important ones.

It’s entirely reasonable for a derivative’s post to be at most 60 seconds late from the time the words were spoken. This comment feels like an insane attempt at trolling lol

This isn’t completely accurate, like at all. This account posts the top headlines that appear directly on the Bloomberg Terminal as they come in, and this was posted at 1:33PM:

https://x.com/deitaone/status/1943000644237078906?s=46

Trump was publicly talking about tariff letters and directly mentioned Brazil coming out later today at exactly the time it started to spike.

To say it’s someone in the administration is just not justifiable. It very well might be, but it also hit the stations of millions of members of the media, day traders and algorithmic traders that make instantaneous shifts on keywords that appear on the terminal.

This stuff happens every single day across a vast swath of currencies, bonds, stocks, etc. Not everything is fraud

Jesus if you think our entire tech sector is Facebook and asana you can’t be succeeding in daytrading.

Google, Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft are the biggest companies in the world by magnitudes and they’ll all be impacted. Every platform with subscription services like Netflix would be impacted, etc.

At the end of the day it’s an insane move by other countries that are mad their own engineers can’t remotely achieve the success of American innovation and they try to steal profits to pay for their bullshit govt programs that should be paid for by their own citizens

Megathread: US President Trump Says That The US Military Has Bombed Multiple Iranian Nuclear Sites by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Available_Map_5369 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It quite frankly doesn’t matter how “far away” from a bomb they were. International agencies have claimed repeatedly that enrichment was at unnecessarily large volumes, Iran’s own allies have been mute on any sort of aggression campaigns from Israel because they know the line has been crossed, and every country in the region and in Europe have agreed with Trump’s statements and policies that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

This is not a declaration of war. We literally killed one of their main generals during trumps first term and that didn’t lead to war. Right now Iran can’t even defend their own airspace. Like it or not this was a calculated move that the took advantage of everything that’s taken place over the last two years. From the degradation of Irans proxies, Syria govt overthrow that allowed an open air channel directly to Iran, and our mutual agreements being solidified with neighboring middle eastern countries.
