You generate all of the money that goes towards maintenance of the restaurant, paying off the cost of its creation, and the labor of paperwork, but your wage needs to be less than what's left after these necessary cost have been incurred

If your wage wasn't less than the full leftover value, your boss would make no money

ofc, then my boss wouldn't of started a business

@fuck12moredeadcopspussy ass skeleton

Most first world workers are labor aristocrats IMO

We don't face terrible exploitation on the regular

Like we're still having surplus value extracted, but the conditions have been improved at the expense of the third world

Most communist/marxist states didn't have anything resembling a burger restaurant or anything like that in the first place

What does that mean?

Because burgers are a waste of time @Otto

It's fucking food

Doctor's Sausage, bread, and some butter are more than sufficient

Not at their expense. Their conditions have improved but were always pretty shit

It is absolutely at their expense

Yeah, right

Being paid cents on the dollar of what labor is worth is to your detriment

Dollars are just worth a lot

*start your own business then*

People are living like kings

People in African mineral mines, South East Asian sweatshops, and Latin American farms aren't benefitting greatly from our presence there

@3v6en8 That's becoming part of the cycle of exploitation necessary in capitalism

The dollar commands an insane amount of purchasing power

So we should stop buying their goods so that they wouldn't need to exploit their people?

No

GG @fuck12moredeadcops, you just advanced to level 5!

Your individual choice not to purchase gods doesn't affect the extraction of wealth from the periphery

The only way to stop the imbalance would be to tank the dollar

ofc, micro to macro scale

Like I could decide not to go to walmart, and I could maybe get a couple hundred people to do it with me, but it doesn't systemically challenge wealth extraction

Is Bernie still alive ?

ofc, I meant we should all boycott goods from foreign countries

Hypothetically, if all Westerners stopped buying things made in the third world, yes it would disrupt imperialist extraction

But uh

Then they would get paid even less lol

good luck doing that

We are the highest bidder

We should all rise up together and kill the rich right?

Whoah whoah whoah

Violence is wrong

My bad, lets tax the rich till they're not rich?

Physically remove the rich, and steal their stuff.
