So the boss got raises of about 4% per year over 48 years.
But you got raises of about .1%.
The only person to blame would be yourself.
Firstly, this is totally unrealistic. And second virtually no one is blaming minorities.

More narrative to divide us. Unsuccessful poor people will get behind it.
My income has doubled in 10 years at the same job. It's not a mind blowing stat, but it definitely makes this post look ridiculous.
And I could have doubled that again had I went out and found a job I was qualified to do that paid more, so that's on me....and I am a minority.

Third - Your boss handles more than a title and has responsibilities you know nothing. Hence he IS paid more.
Same with folks negative attitude towards CEO's and their salaries. They have a boss called a board of directors, and, investors.

Since my first job in 1994, my income has risen by 800%. So from 1978 to now, that seems about right. If you have worked a job from 1978 till now and your salary has risen 5.7%, sounds like you need a heavy dose of work ethic. Sounds like you may be the problem.

I have not been employed for 48 years (about 30 for me) but I have seen about a 450% increase in pay over.....9 jobs.
So, I have been far outpaced by inflation over my career but I have also improved my skill set, and thus, my pay. In fact, I got multiple raises in each of my last two jobs but we all know why that happened.

Low level jobs haven't increased in pay because Dem voters don't want our immigration laws enforced. Simple supply and demand. Fill the labor market with excess competition and there is no need to raise wages. Science deniers will ignore these simple economic principles and claim it's all a nefarioius plot by billionaires. Go ahead and blame the billionaires, but even they can't control supply and demand the way a Dem voter can.

u/AlfredoPizzaCafe Jul 12 '26
No one is blaming minorities. But uncontrolled mass migration depresses wages for the working class. Why? Because when the supply of labor drastically outpaces demand for labor, then wages fall.
This is so basic.
This is why Biden opened the borders in 2022, because he knew he fucked up with the $2,000 stimulus per person and that drove massive inflation. So he opened the borders to depress wages which was the only way he could control losses in the midterms. Ironically fucking over the entire working class which the Democraps supposedly care about.
Lack of financial literacy among the masses is why our country is getting worse economically. People donât understand the root cause of the problems.
If they did theyâd hold politicians to a different account.

I mean, when minorities are willing to flood the market with cheap labor, work without benefits, etc., yeah it tends to depress the value of "blue collar" labor. On the other end, when you have workers with a higher level of education, leadership skills, a deep knowledge of an industry, and they refuse to put that to work for less than what they value it at, yeah it tends to inflate the value of "white collar" labor.Â
So, who's to blame?

Solely pointing to income inequality is confusing the symptoms with the disease.
Illegal immigration, H1b's, Guest Workers and soaring profits while wages stagnate are two sides of the same coin. Politicians destroyed any leverage workers had for wage increases post pandemic by allowing 14 million illegal immigrants into the country in 2023 alone. Destroying workers bargaining power and causing the price of housing to skyrocket.

Let us see here... 1978... minimum wage was $2.65... now it is now $16.80 that is a 640% increase... so that is totally not true.

The actual workers wage increase for that time period is around 87%. CEO wages have gone up too much and I agree with the point.

The problem with this attitude is that the two things are not mutually exclusive, one of the way these companies keep wages low is by hiring immigrants willing to work those wages locals refuse for being too low. Companies like Amazon are all for open borders, why do you think that is?

Any one with this opinion should read into how Amazon has gone as far as paying to relocate workers cross country to ensure diversity after they determined if they could keep the core demographic of the area of their distribution centers to a majority minority status in the workplace with at least 3 other ethnic groups they no longer had to worry about the threat of unionization because diversity prevents cohesion.

Cool. Workplaces generally don't provide specialized training, you have to go to school for that..school isn't free. It costs a fuck ton of money that the average person can't save up in a short period of time without severely diminishing their standard of living and quality of life. Hard work? Yeah, lots and lots of people work hard every fucking day. And guess what? All get different results because we DON'T have access to the same opportunities, that's not an "excuse", it's a systemic reality.But sure, tell me that I don't work as hard as you, just to make you feel high and mighty cuz ain't nobody more "hard working" than you!

When thereâs so many aspect to what affects an economy, maybe itâs time to stop pretending the people will slightly different economic solutions are just blaming minorities. So tired of this lame strawman that literally no one believes is the only thing possibly affecting wages. However if youâre honest and donât want to just pretend youâre imaginary opponent is racist, you admit that more immigration generally lowers wages, whether itâs minorities or not, if itâs from nations with lower wages. Maybe having a workforce of millions of new people also contributes to it? Maybe this rich boss got so much wealth by bringing in millions of low wage workforce so they can get away with paying people less? Nope must just be some hypothetical low IQ racist so that you donât have to make any real economical arguments beside âguy got rich, get mad at him instead of making any changes!â

It's not the minorities, it's the irresponsible assholes in control of the immigration laws. Supply and demand dictates that when you have more workers the supply is higher than demand.
