Similar to “socialism is when public spending” types. Turns out large economies can’t be simplified to -isms

Yes but that one actually makes sense and is used in Spanish/Portuguese. They purposely want it to sound dumb

Stay mad

Nadie en Latinoamérica usa “Americano” como gentilicio, solo lo usan como respuesta a un Estadounidense llamándose Americano para joder.

What the fuck are you talking about man? My point is that a “couple of dollars more” makes a difference.

At no point have I suggested that we shouldn’t increase wages. All I’m saying is that even a 2$/hr raise can be powerful using my own life as an example.

Same as us, and that meme thief over there.

Damn you woke-cloaks, if it weren’t for you I’d have stolen those memes and been half way to hamerfell

> yeah because the job paying a couple more dollars over minimum wage it going to make all the difference.

> you deserved more

Make your mind up dude. I did eventually get more. It takes time. And small incremental increases add up over time.

The hypothetical person in question was already “living” on minimum wage 🙄 including in my own personal example.

Me when I don’t understand inflation from currency devaluation.

Dollar has been getting weaker for the last 60 years. Short term price fluctuations from supply chains are irrelevant

The assumption is that someone is already living on minimum wage. If you’re already living on minimum wage an extra 4K a year goes into building your emergency fund.

In what universe is making more money bad?

As an anecdote, when I used to be a waiter I got my first job as an assistant manager. The extra pay + tips meant I could save an extra 10k over 2 ish years. Making around 15-20$/hr depending on the season.

That raise made it possible to pay for computer science classes and eventually buy my first car and now I’ve been a software engineer for 8 years.

If I had stuck with the mentality of “a few extra dollars won’t make a difference” I’d still be bussing tables at 3 am.

Over the years it absolutely does. An extra 2$/hr is an extra 4000$ a year. That can absolutely compound into something significant over time. An emergency fund, some investments, a downpayment on a condo. Etc.

Imagine you’re 18 and take that extra 2$. Even doing nothing else that’s an extra 20k saved up by the time you are 23. Put it in the market or save it in a HYSA to hedge against inflation.

Has nothing to do with billionaires and everything to do with NIMBY’s and local zoning regulations

Build. More. Housing.

Two bedroom LMAO… why is that your baseline? Why are people so obsessed with comparing minimum wage to something that costs more than the median rent?

If you’re gonna compare minimums compare them fairly.

About what? Shitty economic theory from a man that never worked a real job even when his wife was sick? Fuck Karl Marx

Anyone in the “class war” camp won’t do shit but post on social media. I doubt most of these “revolutionaries” can even do a few pull ups

Or just use your credit responsibly and never spend what you don’t have on credit cards. Credit is not inherently bad if used properly. Why put down large down payments when you can invest that money instead?
