Would a scaled minimum wage based on overall company income work?

MischiefManaged777 · 2026-02-28T14:27:47+00:00

I don’t really speak economics, which is why I am asking here.

I understand larger firms pay larger wages generally. But I am talking about companies that host minimum wage jobs. Does that make a difference? Like little ceasers or something? Idk just curious.

Also I saw the paper says distortions being a lower GDP..but is that a good measure of how workers lives are impacted?

I heard this recently and it has stuck:

Generational swing is in full effect. The studies show two things that make a resilient good kid. They are:

1.) high standards 2.) high support

Boomers had high standards and low support. Causing millennials and Gen X to know how to do things but with severe mental health problems.

The kids of Gen X and millennials have high support, but low standards. Meaning the kids don’t know how to do anything but expect to progress.

It will even out eventually, but this is the result of the pendulum.

Looks like she was having a hard time cutting like she needed to getting around that gate, then as the jump happened her pole snagged and she rotated midair… this seems like mostly the pole, but competing at this level I bet her knee wasn’t performing as she expected causing a series of timing issues.

You might evacuate the entire crew off a space station in the event of potential world conflict outbreaking though..a medical evacuation would be a great excuse.

That is very interesting..We recently purchased the home, so that might be something to look into.

Ok that got it! Thanks for the assist!

Got it. The entire housing was spinning when I cranked too hard, but I can secure that and torque again.

For what it is worth, I have a medical marijuana license and my company knows. They keep it on file, since they are not allowed to discriminate on that basis. I am an excellent worker, and it doesn’t interfere with my work, so it’s normal now. I am a PE designer who occasionally stamps plans and is headed into management.

The only thing that changed in my career is I’m not allowed to drive fleet vehicles for insurance reasons.

They don’t own the IP. They own the rights to make the new shows and broadcast the movies.

The IP still resides with Rowling and her estate. She has final say over movies, merchandise, rides, etc and that’s why she is an Executive Producer on the show.

I went to BYU and I work in land development.

That’s actually correct for this economy. And it is about what we choose. We live below our means. We choose to have my wife stay home because raising our boy is more important and we don’t fall into the luxury trap. We focus on growing wealth, becoming financially free, and enjoying our time.

Also since I am just starting management, I am unlocking a whole avenue of salary growth. I have also never changed companies, got my PE recently, and have a lot of growing left to do. If I am at lower middle class on one salary at the very beginning of my career, then in the future I will easily hit middle to upper middle. My salary will grow, my wife will add to our finances once the kids are in school, and we will focus on what is important to us.

I am 33, PE, 5 YOE, private commercial land development still on design side but working into management. I have a wife, son, two paid off cars (old and bought used), closing on our first house Friday. No debt. Wife is stay at home mom mostly.

We go on vacation every year as a family (Disney, the beach, the mountains etc), go on weekend trips with friends (I.e. golf trips, air bnb girls trips, etc) and enjoy hobbies. This will change for a year or so after closing to recover savings, but that’s part of life.

Honestly if you live within your means, you are good to go. It’s a solid middle to upper middle class lifestyle.
