![From the "Would it be ok if we only give you 20.6 hours a week split up between multiple shifts of 2-3 hours on who knows what days?" [582x530 - 352KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/v0C2EJ.png){kind=link}
I know it is unpopular here, but we really do have a wage problem.
We have a huge inflation problem. It is presenting as a wage and labor problem because the fed is retardedly manipulating us.
So. Much. This.
I had a meme that said something like "In 1970, minimum wage was $1.25/hr, paid in Silver quarters. Today the melt value of those 5 quarters is around $20. The wage isn't the problem, the money is."
The Jew's beast from Jekyll Island eating our wealth as designed.
Don't forget all the payroll taxes businesses pay to employ someone, and then the employee pays income taxes on what's left of what the business can pay them after paying taxes. Then you go buy something and pay taxes on buying it. Then when you die your kids pay taxes on getting the money you paid taxes on all your life.
This in California- Min wage is 15 an hour. We have $0.51 per gallon tax on gas. If you work almost full time you will pay at least $30 a week for social security alone, $20 a week federal tax, $7.50 per week for medicare, and $6.50 for State Disability tax. So in a paycheck of say 500 you will only actually get around 429. You will absolutely not be allowed to get overtime even if you have a great work ethic and want to put in extra hours you can't. You have to either sign on to a second job and work 60 hours a week or under 40. Working an extra 10 a week isn't a practicle option.
Then you will pay %8 tax on any hot food or anything you buy. And %10 tax on any hotel rooms if you dare take a vacation, and rent will be about half your income. Before you pay your vehicle registration, the healthcare you're required to buy, and car insurance you're required to buy. No one wants to work above the table if they don't absolutely have to.
Theft at point of gun
Exactly right. We’re being robbed blind by the international Zionist banking cartel.
Spot on!
better import some more 3rd world
We do not. Every time the wage goes up everything gets worse, it happens time and time again. The sheep keep arguing it would have happened ANYWAY while ignoring how low the cost of living is in places that did not force a 15 dollar minimum wage
"Everything gets worse"
What got worse during the last wage spike in the early 90's?
What was the point of the min wage in the first place, why was it created.
