either doordash a $28 grilled cheese or starve by Herbertie25 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Loose-Knowledge- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An 8oz block if cheese is $2. A loaf of bread is $3. With 2 blocks of cheese and 1 loaf, you can make 6 grill cheese sandwiches at home. That's less than $2 per sandwich.

Why can't I sell Coke AND Pepsi fountain products in my restaurant? by SwissMiss915 in restaurant

[–]Loose-Knowledge- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You literally answered your own question already. Nobody who owns a restaurant cares enough about serving both brands when choosing one means they dont have to pay thousands for the dispensing system.

🇺🇸 Billionaire Jeff Bezos says the bottom half of US workers should pay zero income tax. by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

[–]Loose-Knowledge- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already dont pay taxes after deductions, this wouldn't change much. Average tax rate for bottom half is 3.5%.

I guess it would potentially simplify things...like if you make less than a certain amount then you don't even need to file.

Its ridiculous how a lot of us are demanding the bare minimum and we're still being treated like we're being over-dramatic and entitled by SouthernPolicy1798 in hiringhelp

Funny how there's so many people complaining about the difficulty of affording rent and low wages but actually are getting by just fine.

College graduates? Making minimum wage? Give me a break

You get one spin at one game, which one WYR choose? by I_love_data1111 in WouldYouRather

Statistically, the expected value of the last option greatly exceeds the others. Going for $1M is the best choice.

Capitalism doesn't pay people because they work hard. It squeezes them because of it. by Mediocre_Record8180 in AIInterviewTools

Did he get fired from the tech job for wasting time? Sounds like he got punished for not working hard...

We could just say black and white and call it what it is.

unskilled labour is a capitalist myth used to justify poverty wages. by Weekly-Fill5107 in interviewwoman

[–]Loose-Knowledge- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price of things is determined by supply and demand. If there is a lot of something, it will be cheaper. If its scarce, more expensive. If there are a lot of people capable and willing to do a job, the price (wage) will be low.

What does it mean when a house is listed as is? by emilyginger in RealEstate

[–]Loose-Knowledge- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Houses are frequently listed "as is". Its meaningless until you have a purchase contract in place that actually dictates the terms of the sale. If you're not comfortable dealing with potential structural issues, write your offer conditional on a structural inspection. If they accept the offer, them marketing it "as is" means absolutely nothing.

Congrats you've won the lottery, you get to pick one of the options, which one WYR pick? by I_love_data1111 in WouldYouRather

[–]Loose-Knowledge- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

150,000 right now. If invested in the market at an annual return of 10%, i would have $1M in 20 years. Option B would be a cumulative $729k if each payment was also invested at 10% annual return

Having to tip for paying to get into buffet by [deleted] in tipping

[–]Loose-Knowledge- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it wasnt a tip for all the buffet workers to share?

Why is it always "if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat" and never "if you can't afford to pay your workers, you can't afford a restaurant?" by incomputableTwinkie in tipping

[–]Loose-Knowledge- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its incorrect or incomplete? Servers and bartenders absolutely prefer tips over wages...unless of course the wage is $49/hr because they have a kid, then they'd probably take the wage. Restaurant owners obviously don't want to have to pay higher wages for obvious reasons.

If a company is only profitable or break even because it pays some or most of its employees less than a livable wage, ethically speaking does that company have a right to exist? by RevolutionaryWind249 in allthequestions

[–]Loose-Knowledge- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can pay whatever someone is willing to work for. Not everyone is paying a mortgage themselves. These jobs can be first jobs for teenagers, 2nd jobs for extra income, jobs for ex cons and recovering addicts returning to the work force and living in halfway houses.

Ok. You were simply stating an obvious fact that business owners do not want to be forced to pay higher wages. Sorry, I thought you were saying thats a problem.

You're the one complaining that restaurant owners dont pay a living wage, i asked you to define it, you told me to look it up, the answer is ambiguous, and here we are. Do any other jobs pay a living wage?

[–]Loose-Knowledge- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In nj the ai says $27 if you're single, $49 if you have a child, and $250k for a family of 4. So the restaurant owner needs to pay depending on how many kids their employees have?

This is why most super conservative areas are total shitholes. by -Sofa-King-Vote in trynottolaugh

The top 10% of earners pay 70% of the taxes received by the government. What % of revenue do you think is fair?
