well corporations are regularly caught underpaying employees and the government has to breathe down their necks

Entry level pay doesn't allow you to invest in the stock market or buy real estate in a way that matters

“UGH I should@be able to afford a one bedroom apartment in Manhattan while flipping burgers”

there's no dispute that people in power try as hard as possible to undercut their inferiors

Normal people are shuffling around tiny amounts of currency and making do

I dispute that

It's just offensive

i agree that not everyone needs to live in a big city tho

I am a small business owner and my production staff are the most important resource for my company

however it would be nice if small cities had access to proper resources like large ones do

i mean you are investing money as you said earlier. did you do it by being smart or just complainig constantly. im guessing the first

i have to travel 2+ hours for a doctor

But it’s hard to pay well when we made 2 million last year and $750k went to various taxes

Vcut out of curiosity what does your company do?

Think like architecture, commercial design, structural engineering

huh

Oh shit, nice

how old is your business? are you based in the US?

If you look at housing prices for example, a normal wage is completely insufficient in 2020 and it is getting worse and worse as time goes on

Don’t want to say exact age and yes in US

Then it comes down to people not paying taxes and taxes becoming more severe

i know what you mean lol

“Normal wage” learn a fucking skill

Christ

The fuck is a normal wage? A blanket wage?

are you talking about home ownership or rent?

@Hazard Pluto that's cuz there's a shit ton of people who want houses

well said V cut

Learning a fucking skill is not everyone becoming doctors and professors

no one on minimum wage should be able to afford a home, that would completely turn the market upside down

learn a trade then

rent however, yes, needs to be lowered

Plumbing and being a carpenter are also valid skills

Yep

plumbing and carpentry is very livable

Yeah rent is absolute horseshit

Very desirable skills

Rent is fine idiots

Jfc

Constant work shit allways needs fixing adn it pays amazing

And it is excruciating that they are not being paid properly
