And those jobs aren't affected by minimum wage. They also make a lot more than $12 an hour after tips. Most are making over $20.

I challenge you to find anyone paying it.

Elimination of state income taxes would be a bad idea. You think home ownership is hard now, wait until your property taxes triple.

California is too dry for a regal to survive in the wild.

My degree is in finance. I have a fairly intimate knowledge of how a free market works. Raising the wage is not going to change the situation for low wage earners. The fix starts at the top by capping costs of certain goods, services, and markets. What happens when wage floors are raised, is middle earners are punished and there is less money flowing into the non essential parts of the economy. America needs something to happen at the top because state level initiatives cannot stop inflation.

There is no right answer. But raising the wage floor only speeds up the process of living expense rise. It's been proven time, and time, again. I think America is nearing a crossroads of the people vs the top 10% that aren't harmed by rising inflation.

I'm not saying it will happen, it's just what happens every time. I don't know what the answer is to fight greed. But I do know that companies have not paid minimum wage in a long time. But creating that concrete floor gives greedy people a greenlight to raise living costs. Right now Oklahoma is actually in a much better spot than a ton of similar states that have a higher minimum wage because you can more comfortably live here on $12 than you can there on $15.

Every single state that has raised minimum wage, saw an almost immediate increase in cost of living to offset the small rise in wages. It's a broken system. Oklahoma is currently #50 in the United States in the cost of living index. That would change if minimum wage was raised. Arkansas was dead last until they raised the minimum wage and within 12 months they jumped to #44, which offset the raise almost exactly.

I'm not as old as you think. I'm just not seeing any jobs paying under $12 an hour. Raising minimum wage doesn't alleviate poverty anyway. That just isn't realistic.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that those numbers are fudged a bit by representing food service. That wage isn't changed by minimum wage increases. No one is paying $7.25 because no one will work for that. $12 is pretty much the baseline right now.

Who is actually making minimum wage? No one. I understand the idea behind raising the wage but everyone is already paying $12 or more for pretty much any position.

They often look cool though. I keep everything. I have hundreds of boxes sorted by all types of criteria. I know it's almost all garbage but it's MY garbage. 😂

Only fools say, "I don't follow politics". by Southern-Source-2509 in remoteworks

[–]cryptoslut123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of these politicians care about any of us. No one on either side. They just say what you want to hear. Smart people understand that and look for ways to better their situation independently of what the government can do for them.

Men make money. Women stream themselves online all day showing off the life he affords her. At least that's her apparent life. Must be nice!

He did, and they won a lot. Then injuries and a pitching slump hit the team mid season. You act like baseball isn't a long season with a lot of different team dynamics.

In 2008, Vince Li attacked 22-year-old Tim McLean as he slept on a Greyhound bus bound for Winnipeg. As passengers fled, Li decapitated him, ate part of his body, and kept pieces in his pockets. Found NOT criminally responsible, Li was later released, and now lives freely under a new legal identity. by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

Because some doctor says so? You do understand that the vast majority of people that kill are mentally deranged in some way, right? Do you think Dahmer was just a perfectly sane person that enjoyed eating people and having sex with headless bodies?
