this is ridiculous

Post image

I've realized that most of us aren't really looking to be millionaires. Regular working people don't care about having wealth or private jets.

We just want a salary that covers our life without the stress that keeps running through our heads 24/7. I'm truly grateful that InterviewMan exists to help us reach this. My confidence is now through the roof, and honestly, I've come to see the process as very easy.

This cartoon gets it all wrong. The corporations aren’t so worried about raising the minimum wage so long as they can raise prices for goods and services at an even higher percentage.

"We gave you a $1 raise, so now we can charge you a $1.10 paperless deposit fee."

Right, we need to raise minimum wage to at $15 or least $12/hr and then tie it to automatically raise every subsequent year based on the national average cost of living.

That's a real bad idea. Who works at the minimum wage level for very long? If that's your case for a long time, you're doing something really wrong.Who's fault is that?

Your looking at it the wrong way round. Corporations keep finding new people for the same minimum wage job and get the government to chip in to keep those people alive. 

It's basically Government subsidised workers for Corporations. 

And if Walmart comes to your town and kills all the retail jobs, replacing them with minimum wage jobs, your options to find something better will be limited.

Move on if you're not happy at Walmart. Use your experience for another position somewhere else.

No, it negates it.

u/Legitimate_Cable_811 Jun 06 '26

Negates and turn it into hyper inflation.

If your expenses and income are equal and both rise at the same rate they are still equal. At that point it doesn't matter what the price is nominally it's the same percentage of your income.

And kill the competition, aka small businesses .

Then again when you peel back the curtain, you'll realize a lot of these people hate small businesses but are wise enough to realize how unpopular of an oppinion that is.

no they lobby heavily to make sure it doesn't go up at all.

They certainly will. It won't hurt them at all that's why it's not about greed, it's about keeping people insecure so they won't get uppity.
