Minimum wage should not be able to support a family. all that does is lessen the incentive for people to get higher education. That's a big No-No in my books imo

It generally doesn't. I don't even think $15 per hour can reasonably support a family if it's only one person earning the wage. Maybe if you're barely supporting the family with basic necessities.

Although it really varies based on where you are, and what your standard of living is.

Its skyguy day guys. RIP, F's in chat

Who's that?

What

Minimum wage is a symptom of the current problem with economics

That is the very temporary view of the end all be all of economic strife

Through this you get economic bubbles and runaway inflation

You also get less skilled labor positions (though this is through other over corrective measures related to this)

Because of this you get a populace who can’t sustain a family because there are no jobs around that can

So what do politicians do?

Well they do what they always do they over correct

So they create minimum wage which isn’t inherently bad in a functioning and sustainable economy

But as everyone knows we don’t have a sustainable economy
In fact it is very very brittle

Also we’ll see very much the same thing as temp work gets cut out by AI

Also on the subject of temp work (don’t quote me on this) but about 94% of jobs being created today is of the temp/ contractor variant

So it’s not hard to see why minimum wage exists

Tbh all things considered it would’ve been better to fix all those other things first rather than jump to minimum wage
But it’s not the worst thing they could’ve done

These slogans mean nothing anymore but I guess they look cool

Looking cool is probably the point

Who do ya'll think will be the Democrat picked by the DNC in the primaries to run against Trump?

probably harris or biden

i cant see the democrats coming together on anyone else

Jesus... you're probably right. Poor democrats.

the problem is inherent to a democratic two party system

when your base gets panicked by say an incumbent inflammatory president the vote tends to split which usually leads to your candidates sucking and the other guy winning even if one of them is the far better option

we should have a sports chat for dog and pony shows of the DNC's type 😂 <:OOF:533437462974824449>

The power of money

Whatever, commie

I meant it as in: businesses are shaped by the environment they operate in

True enough, but lemme raise you this: **people** are shaped by the environment they operate in, and businesses are shaped by the people who operate them.

I'm just being semantic, though

Yeah that's a way of going more in-depth with it

Businesses are shaped by the people of whom are shaped by the environment both the people and companies reside in

In other words if their customers are LGBT, their inage will be LGBT themed; if their customers are outdoorsey their image will be outdoorsey (gun/hunting stores, bass pro shops etc) + so on and so forth
