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

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.
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
there is a lot of bloat
Nobody minds a janitor earning $100/hr if that wage is merited.
Most of the time their knowledge stops at "universal healthcare, low gun crime, tredeau, legalized weed and sorry eh"
