Link to any evidence of that? The first minimum wages affected mill workers who were working 56 hours per week.

If you can't afford soda, drink water. I certainly won't be paying for you to drink champagne you haven't earned when I can barely get a drop of soda myself for all my hard work.

Instead of complaining, you should join the fight for higher wages. Why hoard the little that you do have when you can get much more?

Not everyone should go to college, the reason why college degrees and now grad degrees have cheapened in value is because this country pushed everyone to go to college instead of making a pain for fair wages.

People with college/grad degrees, stop refusing to see and acknowledge that you are impacted most when the poor don't get fair wages for employment and everyone is pushed into college, this directly affects your class position as well.

All jobs deserve a fair wage... for that kind of a job.

What exactly is that supposed to mean? Are you suggesting that some jobs should pay more than others? Because that is basically the very root of income disparity itself. All work is honorable. All workers are equal. But if some workers are still earning more than others, we will never achieve true equality. It’s very discouraging that people still do not get this.

Yeah.
I think my trash collector should be paid the same as my CPA.
Do you understand that some workers make more than others because the skills needed are more advanced than others AND the accountability of the job is greater?
You want your brain surgeon paid the same as your local fast food worker?

If minimum wage tracked productivity growth and inflation, it would be low twenties nationally. The only reason this number is shocking is because we've underpaid workers for so long.

Your trash collector should be paid more frankly. They have both a harder job, and a more necessary job. Cities become unlivable if trash collectors go on strike. No one notices if CPAs go on strike.

Lol, companies lose billions of dollars, go out of business and thousands lose jobs if CPAs don't do their jobs right. Oh, and all of your precious taxes used to support your communist programs don't get reported to the govt correctly. CPAs are probably one of the most important jobs out there for making sure businesses are functional.


Only idiots think hard work = valuable work. You know what's hard too? Rolling 800lbs stone 100 yards. That doesn't make it the most valuable work though. I'm sure there are many jobs that require hard labor. But they're often unskilled, uneducated jobs that can be filled with any slab of meat. Hence the low pay. If you hate your low pay, then get skills or education. Not hard. Burger flippers have no business earning $55k per year. It'd be better if you were just honest and admit you want full blown Communism. We can all be equal and have liveable wages once we all have mediocre lives living in our govt provided 700 sqft housing blocs.

Do you understand that if everyone has more prices will simply rise and it will all be worth less?

CPA’s could be largely eliminated by AI. Sanitation workers? Not so much. So I’d say trash collectors are actually FAR more important than CPA’s - who’s primary task in many cases seems to be figuring out how wealthy people can take advantage of loopholes and regulations to legally cheat on their taxes. We’d be a lot better off with more, higher paid sanitation workers and a lot fewer CPA’s.

CPA work is non-productive overhead, much akin to legal work. Its repetitive human drudgery. It also can be done almost entirely by AI, where as trash collection cannot.

Why should someone be highly paid to do overhead work that can be done by ChatGPT instead? https://www.accountests.com/blogs/news/chatgpt-does-accountests-debits-credits-test

Actually sanitations can be replaced by robots..my in laws trash pick up is all automated except for the driver.

If you can't afford soda, drink water. I certainly won't be paying for you to drink champagne you haven't earned when I can barely get a drop of soda myself for all my hard work.

And if you can’t afford to pay a burger flipper a living wage, eat at home.
