We tried to tell them that raising the minimum wage to $15 was a colossal f**kup…$15, thanks to biden and the minimum wage/minimum worker mentality is now thinking they all need a six figure salary to flip burgers and fill coke cups

There are multiple problems with your argument.

1. 15/hr is not a f**k up. Major cities have raised their minimum wages to above 15, with no negative economic impact. In fact, it's the opposite (I thought you types loved trickle-down economics"?!).

2. You assume that low credential jobs deserve low pay.
*Everybody* deserves a pay that makes their ends meet. That's non-negotiable.
If you think "flipping burgers and filling cups" deserves low pay, then you're a shite human for thinking people who work said jobs deserve to be poor.

3. Some people like simple jobs. They want to enjoy their personal lives, so they choose careers that aren't a rat race. But just because they're *simple* doesn't mean they're *easy*.
I can tell by your arrogance that you wouldn't last one day as a barista or fast food worker. One lunch rush full of h'angry boomers or disgruntled Karens suffering caffeine withdrawal, and you'll find yourself back in the stock room bawling your eyes out, wondering why people have to be so mean for no reason.

Get rek'd.

I haven’t seen that much bullshit since I went by the stockyards in KC

I'm sorry, but was that suppose to mean something? I think you might be using a vernacular that only holds meaning in your local region.

Either way, the fact that you can't even present rebuttal beyond snide remarks shows that you a) don't have any valid counterpoints, and b) lack an understanding of the subject matter enough to argue said subject matter.

Go back to the kid's table. The adults are trying to have a conversation.

Actually he’s right in his assessment. To think your wage should be based on your wants is f’n stupid. I’m sorry Lillian Rearden, that is not the way the world turns

No, he's not, and i never said it should be based on "wants." I said (in not so few words) it should be based on cost of living. If you think it currently is, you're either naive, or dumb. Either way, you're not paying attention.
And no, it's not how "the world works." It's how AMERICAN CAPITALISM works, and that's my f**king point. The American capitalistic system is not "the world."

Wouldn’t doing some work and at least getting some pay be better than living off the government teat?
1 up, 10mo
Worker mentality of minimum wage workers see the government teat as the easy way to glide by in life. Why work when others will support their ass.

Why do you assume that's the only alternative to traditional employment?!

Also, nobody wants to stack 40lb boxes for 10hrs a day, for $7.25/hr. Or put up with needy, selfish, inconsiderate customers who berate you. Or work in a dangerous environment.

If people aren't willing to work for shit pay, and employers can't find reliable, loyal employees, wouldn't that raise the value of their labor? Capitalism is half about scarcity increasing value.
