every job i have had in my working life 2 careers has been exactly that. you get paid based on skill set one has towards the position they signed up for..

i dont get why the government wants to fuck with it.  its like saying a greeter or receptionist deserves 15 - 20 dollars to say hello to people and work a switch board

thats an insult to skilled people that are actually getting screwed by their employer



You're also paying for time in someone's life to sit there and hit the switch board, and the life of someone with "skills" is no more valuable than one without. The minimum covers labor and time.

I've worked jobs the majority of people I've met couldn't keep up with, manual labor can be extremely demanding and will easily take up your entire day. People working these essential jobs are fully capable of learning the "skills" their managers possess such as logging in people's names when they come in and out of work (that endeavor can grant you twice the pay of the crew actually doing the work).
You work your ass off all day long carrying the clammy fat people on your back, and at the end of the month you're not making enough to keep up with medical / legal / educational / childcare expenses.

Why even pretend you give a shit when the whole argument consists of "fuck poor people"?

on the flip side of the coin why is it the companies responsibility to give you hand outs for unskilled labor.



it's no "responsibility", it's the civic duty of the company to supply for workers, so workers supply themselves for the company.

i'd really... jesus, id REALLY like to see the America's run by people like you.

you'd have people trying to hang you.



No we would have the greatest economic boom in history and people would wonder why we ever listened to those who would artificially prop up the least skilled and intelligent in society.



war monger. you'd have a "boom" because you'd have to kill of your enemies first. fascist.



Your the fascist akira for wanting to steal rightfully earned wealth. Also war is not good for the economy every hear of the broken window fallacy if you haven't look it up.

it's there opinion that no one should be given opportunities unless it benefits them personally. they are fucked in the head. but who isn't in this world? they are just the people who the more will power to fuck it all up for everyone else who has less.

it's a dog eat dog world, and even though they'd proposition for a better world, they neither really want it, nor need it.

they only need themselves and their mind.

The argument consists of get a better job and or cut your expenses its not complicated. The fact of the matter is many people can do such labor jobs hence the low pay. I am sure you work hard but the fact is other jobs bring more value to the market than yours sorry but thats just the way it is.

i am not of an political affiliation, and i don't work or strive to change anything. you do.

and you're the fascist because you wish to control the distribution of wealth to only finance the rich.

also war isn't good for anything... people's fighting tooth and nail to control things is good for the economy. where that "good" goes is a different story however.

this is not a moral world. you are not moral. you are mistaken.

No we just want the ability to work and not have our labor stolen so that unskilled workers can be artificially propped up.

the market is decided by interest. inflation drives interest up. making "lower class work" more costly to produce... meaning, you'd better get cracking at making robot labor workers, otherwise, we won't access to anything, and we won't even have said things to make your precious resources worth anything.

I have no wish to control anything I want the state out of employer and employee contracts but that gives more freedom to employer and employee. If anything it is you who wants control of the way the economy functions.

your labor is not stolen. it's requited in a system of trade. you give, the system takes. it's a flawed system that you have NO FUCKING IDEA how to fix.

Inflation occurs because the money supply isn't sound. It isn't sound because of socialistic policies by the US federal reserve. Gotta love how socialism continues to impoverish the working class.

wrong. i have no wish for an economy, period. i want what you want, employer employee confidentiality. you however want to change the behavior of humans in the system and slow it to a crawl, so that you can feel like you're not being infringed on... but sadly, the only people you hurt are the people who help this system have everything it needs to run.

Cut your legal expenses or your medical expenses, or was it your educational expenses? Have you ever applied for a decent job to see how much competition there is from everyone else with degrees?
I've met an abundance of people with degrees working minimum wage jobs because "more valuable" jobs were not available.

Are you not a waiter or some such bullshit? I'm pretty sure you're not making more money than me and if you're not out of college yet your prospects are theoretical whereas I can easily pull in a livable wage guaranteed.

it's not socialism. it's fascist crony capitalism. the only kind of capitalism that exists, as of yet. people like you fund and fight for it, tooth and nail.

Obviously nothing is perfect but a good step would be to allow workers to negotiate there own wages as opposed to the state saying how everyone is equal :rofl:.

like i said, you have no idea how to fix it. so stop acting like you do. if the country was run or even financed by you, the country could quite literally be jettisoned from the Earth.

Here's how that negotiation works (according to history that is, not your fantasy day dream):

4 companies are hiring, all of them offer you $2 an hr - take it or leave it. Fantastic.

I admit there is lots of competition its a dog eat dog world that's just the way it is. Also college degrees guarantee nothing unless there in a field that is in demand. Fact is if you go into debt for an indian studies degree sorry your outta luck.
