Welcome to the Jewnited states gentiles.
$7.25/hr while the stock market and housing market have climbed big time since 2009. And then conservatives wonder why people don't want to work.
Wage inflation causes real inflation. Everything being equal a minimum wage increase will do nothing but raise the cost of everything else. So net net a zero sum. To make things more affordable we need price rejection and actual deflation (we have not seen this in a very long time). If you pay a fast food worker 20 bucks an hour that means that fast food inflation goes up even higher. In a real capitalistic society markets are allowed to self correct. America hasn't allowed this to happen for at least 30 years. Think bailouts, bail ins, stimis etc. This means inflation will stay ever present and wages will need to go ever higher. Meaning, that those at the bottom end of the wage curve will always stay exactly where they are. If you are poor or middle class this is why you should be rooting for a financial reset (crash). The rich get richer and the poor get poorer because that is how the system is set up. Systems only change because of some type of catalyst. The only way to take money from the rich and reallocate to the rest of society it is through a financial crisis.
Reconsider the 2024 outlook looking at facts. Houthi ship attacks are costing $billions to the west, while US politicians are laundering US taxpayer money to put into their pockets through Israel, $19 billion US taxpayer dollars laundered in 2023.
What happens to people who do get paid $15-20 an hour , does the pay increase 🤔
cut taxes to increase wages
Damn i thought in NY. 23.50 was bad. Never knew other states its not even barely 10$. Woah…
You cannot get ahead in NC….it's a greedy state with very few lottery winners and very little Medicaid expansion. Smh
Too little, too late.
Get rid of tipped minimum wage. Employers should be responsible for employment costs, not the customer.
Minimum wage should be $0
No more satanic ritual abuse! 🔥
minimum wage should be $20 on average right now. Y'all still paying $7.25 like this is 1990
Kansas still pays minimum wage but cost of living here is pretty cheap and theres alot of high or decent paying factory jobs thats EASY to get hired at $20+ an hour tops out $30-$40, even if your'e a high school drop out you can get a job (if you're lazy and gonna miss work or do drugs you can forget about it)
Someone agreed to impoverish the working class of the U.S., they just want cheap labor
This is horrible! Unskilled jobs shouldn’t pay! They are for teenagers after school and during the summers. It should be against the law to have a “family” when all you can contribute to society is unskilled work that pays minimum wage. Minimum wage is just that: it was never intended to be a living wage! It was for young and newto the work force high schoolers! I worked at the mall on Saturdays during high school and earned $3.35 an hour. By my senior year, I had already accumulated raises and was making more than that. Then I went to college and got a degree, then I started a career and started making real money, then I got married, then we bought a house, THEN we had 2 kids by 36 not 5 kids by 16. It’s always life’s losers ruining things for the rest of us. These poor businesses and companies are not the daddy for irresponsible selfish losers who burden society and think they are entitled to money for nothing.
We can't raise the minimum wage. We have to give trickle down economics just one more decade to see if it works.
Maybe they should give people on disability enough to live next
Did I hear her say the pay bump was massive?!? 🤣 It's going up a couple of bucks from $7.25 😂 This country is delusional. This must be a boomer tube clip! They ❤️ fairy tales. I guess that's y more than 1/2 retire annually BROKE!!! La La La 😆👌
Who in the f can afford a 401(K) and stocks making &.25 an hour?
Shame to PA governor.
The problem with minimum wage in the last 50 years is that no matter how much you raise it it keeps the poor people poor with ZERO incentive to get better paying jobs.
I was paid minimum wage straight out of high school $6.00 per hour in a clerical job in 1998 . I got better jobs as I grew older and I make six times that rate. I learned early on that the system could not take care of me as I got older . I stopped depending on handouts and the corrupt economic and political system of this country .
There are two cashiers in my local grocery store that have been nothing but cashiers since 1998 … that’s is so sad.
How can u live off of 7.25$ maybe on the streets
It should be a Living Earning wage. I have lived in the Southeast for 23 years. Take taxes out of 7.25$. It's horrible
i’m a no work, no food kind of human
full time on minimum wage is 1190 a month before taxes.. that's basically nothing.
Democrats be like … why are price is going up???
🤡
Thank you Joe Biden ❤❤❤
I think 🧐 it’s very sad the our Federal Government won’t raise the Federal minimum wage!!! The current federal minimum wage has been at its current level for far too long!!! The big corporations aren’t paying corporate taxes, the cost of living has consistently risen but the wage has not. Our borders are wide open and we’re funding wars. America 🇺🇸 is about to implode!!! I’m saddened by these series of unfortunate events and I just hope we can turn things around before it’s really too late!!! – ❤️ A tried and true PATRIOT!!!
That’s at least 20 states that pay the same rate they paid ‘09. That’s crazy! 😳
Totally dependent on the government…?
It’s the democrat way.
Thanks
