Productivity is still breaking records
We'd have over 250,000 a year in wages
If you raise the minimum wage like that what do you think is the most likely response from companies
cutting into profits, firing to make up for the costs or raising prices to pay for it
Or we can actually force companies to not price gauge
Companies might, because you see the money we make, is sort of the money we get out of the profit made by the company, we work for. The money that is generated is distributed among the employees, and that is what we gain to buy stuff in return. The economy itself facilitates it.
But when you get the government involved, you still have to make money, and the prices have to be higher due lack of money you earn through producing.
The actual value is reduced from minimum wage.
That's why many business people, recommend getting even a low paying job, compared to the minimum wage.
I don't even know if the minimum wage is enough to lift you up to get a better job, even that's pretty disputable.
Also kills incentive for work, that's another issue.
So that's many people from the other side discourage it.
Imagine caring about government, when you should just care about getting a line of traps and femboys to anal
Nah I'm just saying, I know system is broken to support the 1 %
It's pointless
nothing we can do to stop them
That's a simplified look at it but it is a touchy topic
yea
Those on top do earn more
But you need to consider they are the one purchasing assets to make the business go round
Taking the risk
If it kills incentive to work how until the 70s (Reaganomics) wages kept up with productivity and productivity kept rising
And is still rising
As a minimum wage employee you really take on no risk
@Kyger I agree with that, but just look at the stock market and you puke
Money is like a gamble
Those who have it gain more from it
But I know my family still can't pay for bills and everything even though they're technically above minimum wage
Those who don't just suffer the consequences
If you get lucky or fortune goes your way and you get an unique product or service. You might be ones on your way to some good level of control. Otherwise it's pointless
Also don't forget links
Governmental
It's an ideology based on consumption and money
As well as the rich travel together
Capitalism will always lead to something like this, especially if you just leave it unregulated
Nobody want to give a bigger slice of the pie
It's a war
Also not a free market
so it's all corrupt anyway
I honestly can't think capitalism will ever be sustainable
But you don't have any realistic alternative either. Than the mixed economy, which is a hell already
I honestly believe that humans should've been developed to this extent
Sure shared that sentiment once, but don't know anymore myself.
Shouldn't've*
But honestly I don't think we can go back to anything less
It's good, maybe if we get UBI, it won't be so bad.
