Jul 22, 2020·1 replyThuggerBabyThey can always try to find a job that doesn't put em on food stamps I mean. Whats next? Are we going to argue that McDonalds cashiers deserve $15 an hour? When we are getting close to robots replacing them all together?
So because the workers can “find another job” justifies tax payer sponsored underpayment of workers?? Huh?

plantsYou realize that when minimum wage was introduced it was the minimum wage needed to sustain a family and own a house. If minimum wage kept pace with the cost of living and buying power since the 1950's it would be over $30 an hour right now.
if the min wage was over $30 an hour, most small businesses would go bankrupt and your corporate overlords Amazon and Walmart would get even bigger

Jul 22, 2020ThuggerBabywell the thing is, most billionaires don't even actually have billions. A lot of that money is just an estimation and not concrete. Thats why Bezos isn't as rich to me as like the Rothschilds or one of those generationally rich families, because those people have so many streams of money coming in that most of it can't even be legally traced.
i know it's not liquid cash but the amount of assets are still proportional to a percentage of the economy. Like yes, Bezos can't just take out all his money and buy a small east european country of course, but the amount of the economy he owns allows him to continue this cycle of benefitting from the government the same way banks used the "too big to fail" scheme tied to government dependence. Like Bezos isn't just relaxing on a beach while all of this transpires, Amazon is actively bullying local and state governments into not passing laws or into further feeding the company subsidies because of the amount of economic power they have, which again, only exists because of abuses in the first place

its not underpayment if all workers uniformly agree that that wage is acceptable since that is average factory worker pay

The workers can’t uniformly agree on what their wage should be because they are explicitly not allowed to unionize

So explain to me how minimum wage back in the 50's worked? Amazon wasn't around then and mom and pop places were booming.
I wonder if it's due to a 94% tax rate on the ultra wealthy to help boost economic growth in the post-WWII exonomy?
Oh and also robust unions protecting workers rights can't forget that.

Inb4 “they agree by working there” like companies like this don’t affect the average wage simply by existing

Because we had just gotten out of a war that generated a gigantic economic boom
and that 94% tax rate on the wealthy is fiction. Most of those people who earned at that rate never actually paid 90%. Rich people pay more in taxes today than at any other point in history.

yeah im not sure if the 50s economy is what you want to use as a model example since one reason for economic prosperity was the rise of artificial consumerism and modern exploitative credit, and 25% of the country was considered in poverty despite the idealized middle class
