Yes

The libs were defending this guy lmao

loos like my school is having some sort of protest about "living wages now" this week. I have a feeling that between now and then, I'm going to run into one of these people advertising for it

what should I tell them? I'm of the opinion that more money for the same amount of work negates the value of the money (basically anything in the camp of "are you aware of the long term effects of raising the wage")

I don't think that's what I'm looking for lol

It's on Steam and its bonkers

Kek

what surprises me is that the students aren't asking for the wages of students working at the college to be raised

honestly that's what I expect from the far left at this point, only trying to support themselves

but their approach is pretty dickish. It's all about "respecting staff." I'm guessing if you disagree on raising the wage, they'll say you don't respect staff

where is this money going to come from though? It will be hilarious if the money has to come from raising tuition

Provide a supportive planned point of view

Specifically say that you agree with it, but that many people you know are against it because they're concerned with unimportant things like where they money will come from

Suggest that they use the college and town as a model, raise the minimum wage and then study it to see how the town/college improves

I'm not that good of a liar and I don't really want to hide behind "asking for a friend."

or something like that

But you arent lying and you arent asking for a friend

You do agree that people should have a liveable wage

People should have the ability to earn a livable wage

to be honest, I don't even know what their idea of a liveable wage. It's been conveniently left out of all their posters

Nothing is deserved in life.

I don't know how much the staff here are paid

And you do know many people that are hung up on the question of where the money will come from

you are one of them in fact, but you wont say that

If you dont want to do this for whatever reason asking for clarification is probably the next best thing

If I want to talk to them, I want to learn how much the staff are getting paid and what the students think the "living wage" is. I'm going to guess that cost of living here in bumfuck, Ohio is pretty low compared to a major city

Suggest that they raise their wages to the same level as canada, 110 per hour

110?

do you mean 11

nope

110 dollars per hour, that doesn't sound like a recipe for inflation or anything

one hundred and ten candian dollars per hour was the wage for teachers at the university of toronto last time they went on strike for higher wages

I don't think they're talking about teachers

I think they're talking about the staff

like janitors and stuff

Doesnt matter if they're talking about teachers or not

The point is that canada is seen as a better version of america, but many people dont know much about how it actually functions

yeah I think it does. A janitor shouldn't be earning 110 dollars per hour

okay
