Hey, they all suffer from affluenza ok, it's a totally legit thing that allows them the freedom to roofy! /s because of poes law
Poe's Law: originating from the term "Poorly Constrained* (cf: Poe Ly) which is a technical term used in physics, engineering, and mathematics for a system where there are more variables than available data points, making a single definitive solution impossible.
Yes, but also this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law?wprov=sfla1
Both of these things are new to me
As I like to say, every day is a school day!
Was using the real definition to generate my definition.
And my definition is also real

βItβll make costs go up! Itβll cause inflation! Itβll cause a wage price spiral!β
NEWS FLASH! minimum wage hasnβt risen for over a decade and yet prices have risen faster than they did when we did raise minimum wage. Almost like, cheap minimum wages allows for more capital consolidation, and that in turn makes it easier for cartels, oligopolies and monopolies to form to enforce larger margins on low elasticity goods.
The average person is willfully ignorant about inflation because they benefit more from networking with people who believe the bullshit.
Capitalism requires a second class of people who are easily exploited and disregarded by the wider majority of workers in its system usually through propaganda. Racism existed before it but it certainly does benefit from making those different lesser so they can be easier exploited and dehumanized when needed.
Aiden, Braiden, Jaiden, Haiden, and Okaiden, the penta-douche.
I went to school with the 90s versions- Tucker, Sean, Brad, Brady, Donny, and Clay. Tucker killed someone in a DUI, Brady took over the car dealership, Donny and Brad washed out in their college football efforts and are real estate agents, Clay is 44 and owns a college-age targeted night club he uses to predate on women. Sean turned out to be a decent guy at least.
Jamie had a chance, well she really did. Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids. Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job. Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot.
What the hell is going on

My hot take: Greedy rich companies and millionaires and billionaires will always try to take as much as possible from the consumer. Raising the minimum wage effects people that were making the minimum wage, and is less and less beneficial to those that were making more than minimum wage. If minimum wage jumped up by $5 to go from $7.25 to $12.25, anyone who was already making $12.25 isn't likely to get a raise to $17.25.
But because all these people are making more, the wealthy will up pricing of food and housing and utilities in order to keep making even more. This means inflation also rises faster. So while it helps things in the short term, it does nothing to help people in the long term, and it also hurts people closer to or already retired because the inflation will make their fixed incomes worth less.
So raising the minimum wage alone is a shit idea that only puts a short term bandage on things and the rising inflation means you'll constantly be "behind the eight-ball" and playing catch-up to keep trying to raise it as inflation keeps rising because the rich keep getting richer.
The real fix needs to be lowering the top. Not raising the bottom. Tax the shit out of the wealthy with higher taxes as money made grows. Close the tax loopholes that let them hoard wealth. Make it so that so much of their money beyond like $5,000,000 in cash or assets increasing in value a year would be pointless to try and make because it would all just go to taxes. This will cut the legs out from under the wealthy and stop the needless ripping off of everyone else. If they can't hoard money and increase their monetary value infinitely then the money will start going to the places it should. The inflation would stop, and upping the minimum wage could actually keep things livable.
If they can't hoard money and increase their monetary value infinitely, then their business will stop having any reasons to exist in the first place.
Also, many industries are only efficient at scale, and so putting any limit to that is going to hurt the economy (and hence, you) big time.
Capitalism, in any form, has this fundamental trouble where it either rips you, or has no reason to exist. Taxing the hell out of the rich is a step in the right direction, but ultimately even that is not sustainable. We need socialism, as in society/state owning means of production.

Kinda related: At some point I realized inflation is actually kinda good when you have no assets and large debt, because it effectively shrinks your debt. The problem is, I only thought about it well after paying off my debts and gaining some assets, so now I feel like the guys in the pic if I talk about it.
This math only maths if your income keeps pace with inflation. Otherwise you're getting priced out of living. Even if in relative terms your debt is shrinking, that doesn't make you better off on its own.
Yeah, thatβs where the kinda comes in. From experience, when youβve got that much debt you tend to lowkey want to watch the world burn, so youβve got that going too.
... and just like that, you figured out what the FED was for, and that our world economy is based on debt, with inflation used to defraud the hordes of workers from adequate wages.
Once it crashes, they buy up those previously inflated assets at rock-bottom prices, and the process begins anew.

only if the interest rate you pay on the debt is lower than inflation. let's say, if inflation is 3% and your interest rate is 5%, you still make additional 2% real debt every year. if however inflation is 5% and your interest rate is only 3% then you win.

I don't care about the minimum. I care about the maximum earnings allowed annually.
The a Federal Minimum Wage has been raised twice since 1997, the last time in 2009, for a total of $2.10. It currently stands at $7.25 an hour.
20 states are still at the Federal Minimum Wage, or LESS, with some at $5.15, and Oklahoma as low as $2.
Oklahoma isn't $2. They don't use finite dollar amounts in their minimum wage law; it's tied to the federal minimum wage.
And Georgia only has the $5.15 for businesses with less than 6 people that don't do interstate commerce.

That's ok. The employees can show them what happens when they don't pay enough for them to live β¨

And my dad says it bad for employers not too pay a living wage.
We just need some duct tape, rope, and a windowless van, and we're on Easy Street, fellas!
I love the "we can fix the system built to fuck us up by only [writes a bible about how capitalism is full of loopholes and is basically made by and for billionaires]". No. There is no way in reforming this corpse of a system.
Australia has one of if not the highest minimum wage.
This economics YouTuber ranks it as one of the best economies, based on his own slightly subjective ranking that factors in both overall strength and egalitarianism.
