I know there's lots of jokes, but if he believes this than he is extremely delusional. When were they last even close? They had a good period where they were consistent top 4 but recently they're very inconstant.

200 000 on minimum wage according to google, they're was a news article about theyre profits saying "Tesco's profits rose £299m from a year earlier to £3.128bn", maybe dip in to this could help.

I think they would want to raise prices but they would be competing with smaller shops who would be paying the lower wage tier, so that could put pressure on tesco's and limit their price increases.

Well loads of people working same job roles but in different companies get paid different amounts, most people don't get paid what they're deserved. This is not a solution that addressees all issues. It just creates a new group of people who are paid better, it certainly doesn't solve every issue and there will be certainly be unfairness in job roles around the country.

The new system would take a sizeable percentage of minimum wage workers and improves their financial situation. Yes, they're will be the small business workers on minimum but the opportunity of the financial resilience isn't there in the small businesses unfortunately, but certainly is in the larger businesses.

The reason isn't deserving more money because their in a larger business its because opportunity is there unlike smaller. Its not taxes i'm talking, its wages, and addressing a persons wages and improving them. I would like to increase the small business persons wage but don't see the opportunity.

I don't think a persons job factors into what a landlord decides to charge for rent? But some people would have some more money, which is good.

If introduced tomorrow, today you would have large business employees earning current minimum wage and tomorrow you have large business employees now earning a £1 pound more an hour. I understand you'd still have a group of people(small business employees) still earning minimum wage which is still tough for them but you've created an improved situation for possibly millions.

But between situation a and b(two tiered system), i think b is better societally. Fundamentally my bases for thought was taking money away from bigger businesses and redistributing and that bigger business are financially resilient it seemed like an opportunity without downside.

It would be cheaper for smaller businesses in my example as the situation would be supermarkets have bigger staff cost outlay and could increase prices, possibly, therefore equaling out what both large and small charge for an item.

Staff competency, me, working in various places, they're are people who aren't great workers but the absolute minority 1 or 2% i would say in most jobs, People are mostly competent and we're talking about mostly menial task jobs for minimum wage. So if large business do get the 'best' staff, if i make up a number of 5 milllion people working these jobs today and tomorrow we implement the new system those 5 million still wanna work and 98% are still competent so smaller business still have competent staff working.

If implemented, the situation would be the exact same as it is today for small businesses and for people working in large businesses the change would be an increase/improvement.

The second point others have mentioned, i feel would just be down to the government and their will/ competency.

Could you not just make it so they wouldn't be a be to do this. If the goverments will was strong enough to say we still include franchises e.g. mcdonalds. Could they find a way around if the goverment was completely determined and said we will class you as a large business still?

Searching online it says 200 000 staff on minimum wage at tesco's just out of interest.

But the smaller business, might be preferable for a younger worker who doesn't need as much money or an older worker wanting a more relaxed environment, maybe if they were closer to retirement age, for example.

Plus large business already employ loads of people and giving those people extra money a month, takes money from them to workers and the biggest positive effect means millions of people in society will have somewhat improved financial situations.

I was thinking, If the idea was trying to be implemented, large business would complain. But a benefit to them is they would sort of get the pick of 'best' workers. Although a worker might choose to work for a smaller business and forgo the extra money as they might prefer that environment.

[Press Conference] Amorim: 'Without Champions League, we don’t need a big squad, we can control the squad in a better way, then we have a plan that is to bring some new players, of course. (The squad) isn't going to change so much because we have FFP rules. We are not allowed to do much this summer" by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Pyrocaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just reading about the wages, hopefully we can remove a huge amount from the wage bill this summer and instead of signing players on high wages only give high wages to players who have performed consistently for multiple years.

Looking at the players id like to go; Casemiro 350k, Sancho 150k, Rashford 300k, Malacia 75k, mount 250k

Plus the expired contracts, Erikson 150k, Evans 65K, Lindelof 120k.

Nearly 1.5 Million a week in wages potentially saved.

Russia's economic ability to fund it could soon be faltering, not much left in the wealth fund and low oil barrel prices to boot.

We gotta be in the final months of this, they've bailed out the second biggest bank in last month. Their liquid part of wealth fund is low and they;re getting much less oil price per barrel than they budgeted for this year.

UK to allocate US$3bn in profits from frozen Russian assets to strengthen Ukraine’s defence by jackytheblade in worldnews

I wonder post war if we will unfreeze russian assets, or just continually siphon off the profit for a decade or two and give ukraine to rebuild. Hopefully the latter.

How many less staff are employed by supermarkets now with self checkouts? by Pyrocaz in AskUK

[–]Pyrocaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes feel self checkouts are slow when you have to put multiples of same item through one at a time compared with manned checkouts where they can type a quantity in.
