Dude, I remember back in the day McDonalds got torn apart for publishing a “budgeting tool” that vastly underestimated cost of living and then still required a second job to make the numbers work out since then cost of living increases have continued to outpace minimum wage I don’t think your numbers check out my guy

There’s no such thing as a lifestyle that can be supported paycheck to paycheck. It’s called survival at that point

🤓 learn a more useful skill that adds more value to society that will earn you a higher wage than flipping burgers. Not every wage should be enough to sustain your life as a functioning adult. I’m sick of people being shocked by that 😱

Hey dummy, the guy flipping burgers is doing far more for the community than any executive

The exec could flip burgers. The burger guy seemingly cannot create jobs, otherwise this wouldn’t be an issue

“create jobs” bro you call an exec when you want to enshittify a product and cut or outsource as many jobs as possible, not to create them

The core issue with minimum wage is that it doesn’t guarantee a wage if people don’t have guaranteed jobs.

And a job doesn’t even mean all that much if they aren’t guaranteed hours

They don’t- marketing does. That’s their job. Executives nominally set the direction of the business. In practice, they’re vastly overpaid compared to their value to the company.

i think this is what starting mcdonald’s workers make too, not enough to sustain still.

As someone who works an entry level job where higher-ups occasionally come to the floor to work with us, the executive cannot do the work at the standards they demand. It should be no wonder when they are doing the equivalent of cognitive offloading but with their entire career. "Creating jobs" is not a real job.

Fill time employees shouldn’t require supplementation of income from a social safety net. They should be safe and secure with their full time employment. It’s not shaming services to say that

If you require every job to cover all of life’s expenses, a significant amount of entry-level jobs will be eliminated rather than pay more. That leaves people who haven’t yet developed highly valuable skills with fewer opportunities to gain experience and advance their careers. It’s better for the government to help cover basic needs while workers build the skills to earn more.

*full time* jobs. Not all jobs are, nor should they be, full time. If your primary pet if your life is working, you should be able to afford to live

It’s easy to say what “should” happen, but that doesn’t mean a policy will produce that result. You can’t legislate away supply and demand any more than you can legislate away gravity. Not every full-time job generates enough economic value to survive that mandate, but we can provide basic needs for everyone if we allow the government to fill in the gaps. What you’re proposing has been extensively studied by experts, and they overwhelmingly find it negatively impacts the poor.

What the fuck do you think the point of minimum wage legislation around the globe is my guy 😭

Have you read the research on the net effects of minimum wage legislation? The welfare system is a much more effective way to help the poor.

Just because something is politically popular, doesn’t mean it works.

No one is saying get rid of welfare. They’re saying we should have protections in place so less full time employees should rely on it. Pancakes and waffles ass comment

You’re advocating for a policy aims to shrink the welfare state, but would actually just reduce employment
