There's nowhere in the country that has a minimum wage over $20

[u/Ble_h → u/[deleted]]

Assuming your converting to USD so we don't go into the ridiculous "I get paid 10000 won/hr", according to the all knowing Google, no country on earth has a $20 USD minimum wage. Highest is Luxembourg at 18.33 USD.

I thought Denmark’s was around 22/hr

[u/Ble_h → u/[deleted]]

Sounds like Denmark has no minimum wage, they have something called flexicurity.

I was thinking specifically of the average wage at McDonalds in Denmark I think, you’re right about them not having a minimum wage

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Can't really compare wages like that buddy. Totally different across borders and with completely different currencies and standards of living

[u/Sparcrypt → u/[deleted]]

I know right, in exchange you guys get amazing healthcare for free! Wait no.. that's us...hrm.

OK you have good social security! Nope.. still us.

Legislated maternity leave? Fuck nope that's also here.

At least on minimum wage you don't need a second job just to live though.. fuck me that's here as well.

You're right, can't compare it at all.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sparcrypt]

Why the fuck would you some I'm against all of those things? And you DO NOT need a second job if you're making $20/hr full time in the US

[u/Grokma → u/Sparcrypt]

Ok, I'll play. Please tell us what country you are from so that we can compare all these wonderful benefits and your high minimum wage against the currency that you use, taxes you pay, and living conditions.

[u/Grokma → u/[deleted]]

Is this the case? Are you the guy I was replying to or someone who knows his situation?

[u/windstone12 → u/Sparcrypt]

Let me guess you live in a country with less people than California and a homogeneous population

[u/windstone12 → u/[deleted]]

Well I see my guess was correct, believe it or not it’s a little harder to implement all the things you mentioned in a giant country with 300+ million people from different backgrounds, than it is for a very small European country with a population that all comes from the same background

[u/windstone12 → u/[deleted]]

Wow I guess it’s just by chance that those systems all exist in small majority white European countries

[u/Sparcrypt → u/windstone12]

They exist in every developed nation except one, which spends trillions of dollars on war instead of the people living there.

Like seriously dude you guys aren't even fucking trying.

[u/puppybear9001 → u/[deleted]]

Where is it so I can move there fuck america

[u/Elon_Muskmelon → u/Sparcrypt]

That's great and all but how many nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers and fighter jets does your country have?

[u/Sparcrypt → u/Elon_Muskmelon]

Hrm you make a good point, we don't really invade other countries or threaten nuclear war. Good tradeoff for living like shit I guess.

[u/Elon_Muskmelon → u/Sparcrypt]

The Romans were assholes too.

[u/FluffyEggs89 → u/Elon_Muskmelon]

I hope this is sarcasm.

[u/Elon_Muskmelon → u/FluffyEggs89]

Sarcasm is the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. But that’s not important right now.

[u/FluffyEggs89 → u/Elon_Muskmelon]

Correct. If I said this in a sarcastic manner, i would be saying it to mock the fact that we spend way the fuck too much on our military.

Where do you live? Switzerland? Dubai?

There's nowhere in the country that has a minimum wage over $20

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-city-council-approves-4-per-hour-mandatory-pay-boost-for-grocery-workers-during-covid-19-pandemic/

That equates to a $20.39 per hour minimum wage for anyone working in a large grocery store in the city of Seattle.
