    Aww are the widdle capitalists upset the workers are realising how much value is being stolen from them?

    Maybe corporations should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

    Pay what people feel they are worth, or go out of business.

    Isnt that what everyone here wants, the power of the free market to weed out inefficient businesses?

    Its literally a 70 cent rise. Thats barely inflation matching.

    Cry more, capitalists.

        We don’t live in a free market when business cartels can fix wages.

        This is labor competing back with the same methods that capital uses.

        Cry harder.

            Do you think labor is the only one lobbying the government regarding wages?

            Wake up.

                Unions are aggressively suppressed by employers both via illegal tactics and lobbying the state for anti union laws.

                I am sure you know these facts… By we don’t see you crying over it unlike peasant win wage lol

                Do you always ignore what is inconvenient to you?

                We don’t live in a free market. It’s a conservative fantasy. Grow up sometime.

                When you start bitching about corporations lobbying the government to keep wages down maybe I’ll take you seriously.

        It’s mandated by law because the corporations are too large to care to do it themselves and have to be told.

        They’re just worried about making more money this quarter than last quarter. Under that reality, a law becomes necessary. Corporations have clearly shown they won’t pay their workers a decent wage when they don’t have to.

      @breadsmasher @Amoxtli Aww are the widdle socialists mad that the policies they advocated for got them fired?

      https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2024/03/26/california-minimum-wage-jobs/73107149007/

      Yet for some reason they’re hitting the “I’ll do it again” button 😂

      If these are the people voting in #California, it explains the state that it’s in.

        You’re advocating poverty wages, and “shut up you get what you’re given”?

          @breadsmasher Nope! I’m advocating for policies that would lower the production costs of the goods that are being served, as well as inflation and regulatory costs and fees like taxes, providing greater margins and stability for businesses, incentivizing them to voluntarily raise employee wages.

            So “hahha ask for more get fired” is your way of saying “production costs should be lowered”.

            I don’t believe you have a good grasp on reality. Good day.

              @breadsmasher No, it’s not. It’s my way of making fun of you guys for complaining about something happening that’s due to a policy you support, and then advocating for doing that again. This is downright hilarious, and worth laughing at!

              Everyone laughs at the fool who hits himself in the head with a hammer, says “ow that hurts”, and does it again. Y’all are doing the exact same thing here.

          Increasing minimum wages reduces the value of everyone else’s money. Companies never take a hit from these increases. They always pass on the cost into the product or they shut down locations.

          Every time government increases the minimum wage, the poverty line goes up as well. It’s turns into a never ending inflationary cycle.

          You can’t just increase the minimum payment, because at the end of the day, the money has to equal some type of value. When the government forces a value, it reduces the value of everyone else’s money.

            The other major factor on inflation, WAR SPENDING!

            Inflation is Government created.

          @sunzu @Amoxtli @breadsmasher So you’re telling me that #USAToday is wrong, and fast food workers in #California actually didn’t lose any jobs after the #MinimumWage was increased?
