Who can blame the companies if the government is going to give them money? I don't see anyone bitching about Free Stuff the government gives out.
Again, the government is to blame. They ENABLE bad behavior by bailing out companies.
If the government was going to give me a bunch of money as a bailout I would take it.
But I'm sure you wouldn't...your ass is lily white and shines brightly and righteously above the Capitialists Who Make Too Much Money.

You don't know a god damn fucking thing about me. I would never take a damn government penny. NOTHING the government gives you is free, if you think a bank is bad well when you don't pay back a bank loan the government enforces the law that they can come take your stuff for not paying them back. What do you think will happen when you don't pay back a government loan? They MAKE the laws that say they can come take your stuff. No I wouldn't take a government grant or anything close, unless 40 lawyers were standing next to me saying "for sure you don't have to pay back .02 of this"
Now anyway what is the relevance of this to the topic? Do I see a straw man coming?

Your god damn right it is, and don't ever forget it. I am NOTHING like those people. Honestly I wouldn't know how to spend a billion dollars anyway, that is WAAYYY too much money for me. I would HATE to have that much responsibility like millions of peoples jobs and the entire financial sector are depending on me, even if it's indirectly. Id much rather have a simple $10,000,000, to me I could do whatever I wanted, and still have tons of cash to invest in lots of projects and fly around the world.
I love it when people put me in the same shoes as someone else and try and convince me I wouldn't do the same thing. If I had that much power, I'd sell my company, start a bank, and give $500 loans to people with new business ideas. I'd make it a goal to give out 2 million $500 loans with only 5% interest to people who want to test a business idea go out with $500 and make it into $1000 then I'd up the loans to only loans under $50,000 and I'd only give money to people who qualify with debit not credit. I would NEVER make it a goal to look at how much someone had borrowed and paid back. How do I know where they got the money to pay me back?
I'd look at peoples income and spending history, how much they make and how much they spend what percentage of it is on bills and what percentage on shit they don't need, basically a full income and debit history. I would NEVER give two shits about credit. Back in the day a person was laughed at with credit, it was a "we take cash only sir not that credit shit" situation. Things sure have changed, I don't see how I've contributed to that, I basically have ZERO credit and it's caused quite a few bumps but I can still rely on just about anyone to take cash if you have enough of it

You find that bad? I'd make it FIXED 5% interest. But I couldn't get federally approved to be an actual bank. I know you don't need tens of millions to start a bank you only need $500,000(although realistically tens of millions is much better), but damn do you have to go through some back ground for that or what. I've heard to be federally insured as a legal bank if they find you've gotten a speeding ticket it can be extremely difficult to get approved

By the way, a billion aint too much for me. And when someone says 'more money than you can imagine, well, fuck me raw, I can imagine a goddamn shitload of money.
So Im materialistic and like money.
If I have a lot of money, i can help my family, and give to all the people an causes I like.

Dude just shut the fuck up already. I've seen people sell their mother for a sale, I had a sales job I could've been making 100k a year. I turned it down, I didn't like it, and the money was great but so fucking what.
You swear you know saying shit like "don't insult our intelligence saying you are above money." What the hell would you spend a billion dollars on? Honestly, 500 houses and you only stay in 13 most of the time, 15 planes and you only fly one? Well we know one thing is for sure about you, if you had a billion you wouldn't spend $900,000,000 of it feeding starving children in Somalia. You are a greedy SOB, you might as well just say "I'd love to have a billion, I don't care about anybody"
Well the truth is, I don't care about anybody either, I don't give two fucks. Therefore I'd HATE to have a billion dollars when I could just have 10 mil. I had a billion I'd get nothing but phone calls from people asking me to invest in things, companies constantly calling me to market me sell me stock or get me to invest in some company or try and take my current company public into some IPO. I am starting to think you have NO IDEA what that life would be like. Also, you wouldn't have friends, only people pretending to be friends to use you for shit.
No thank you I'd be happy with just $5 or $6 mil all together. Just enough to do whatever the hell I'd like and yet be left alone whenever the hell I wanted. We sure know a lot more about you though now, if you had all that cash, you'd be spoiled more then the King of Aladdin of Cashmere you'd have all the jets and gold and furniture and roller coaster rides you wanted, and yet you'd STILL be wining and crying about paying people $8 an hour instead of $7

The world is not fair. It isn't supposed to be fair and I think I'm willing to let the idiocracy raise minimum wage to whatever the fuck they want. Knock yourself out. I am old and about this much away from washing my hands of the entire lot of you.

hahahaha yep if we got rid of the minimum wage we'd become Somalia. You sure about that? You know what countries don't have minimum wages? The nordic ones, Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc. They rely on bargaining between the workers and the employers. I disagree with most of the socialist policies in those countries but a lack of minimum wage is one i absolutely agree with.

China has a minimum wage, .75 to $1.50 per hour in most areas, why so low? Excess pool of labor.
Why is the minimum wage when adjusted for inflation at a all-time low (since 1938) today in the US? Excess pool of labor.
Why were real wages growing so strong after WW 2 in the US? More demand for unskilled/skilled labor relative to supply, but since globalization started in the 1980's, the demand for US labor has continued to drop.

Has the demand for labor dropped or has the distaste among bratty American mediocrities to accept laborious jobs increased? There's no shortage of border jumping scum willing to take the jobs. American slackers would rather couch surf than work.
