What I don't want is YOUR solutions.


Big difference.

And, what, exactly are those solutions? Self-improvement can only go so far when the economy is jacked as it is.

^^^^^^^ I have no problem with success. But this is also a oversimplification. The math simply is not there for everyone to be on top all at the same time.

He doesn’t want solutions. He doesn’t even see a problem. He just wants to experience the orgasmic satisfaction of watching workers he’s deemed worthless get what they “deserve.”

Exactly.


Not everyone can be at the top.

It's hilarious that you don't see what your minimum wage solution does - it puts more people at the bottom....

You bitch and whine that employers don't pay people better - then by raising the minimum wage effectively put more people at the bottom.

Those folks that were making 15 bucks an hour before that became minimum wage are now minimum wage earners....

And you REALLY expect that an employer who now has more overhead in wages is going to raise the wages of those who were turned into minimum wage earners to make up for it?

Jesus you are fucking stupid.....

And even if it does, the bottom's still at least something you can live on. At least you've got your lower-tier Maslovian needs met.
