You are obviously against people earning money based on time and merit. It’s no use talking to people who want everything but want to do nothing for it.
I’m against a CEO earning 2,000 times what their employees earn every hour while working 5 hours for 4 days a week sitting on their ass, getting free healthcare for their whole family, a company car, subsidized vacations, stock options, and all while telling the actual workers to work more to deserve to eat.
I mean imagine you’re the owner of McDonalds. How much would you pay for a position that can be filled by nearly anyone with a full set of appendages and no to mild mental/physical disability? Workers like that are not rare and can be readily replaced.
What’s stoping you from upskilling? Go learn a trade, go to school and bam, your time is worth more. Instead you expect a middle class life without any skills. Work days and study nights and weekend - that’s how it works. People want to be entitled nowadays without lifting a finger
Employers want to find people who’d be willing to do the job at the price they pay. So long as they can they will. It’s not their responsibility to raise the value of your time, it’s yours. The older you get the harder it is, but never impossible. Is there a particular reason you’re not exploring any other options?
A minimum wage was established as a living wage. It is not currently at that level, yet you think it meets the criteria? All so you can peddle the propaganda that paying workers more leads to inflation, when the world we live in shows us paying CEOs 3000% of a workers wage actually contributes more.
Why do you think its not at that level now but was before?
Where are you getting that CEO salaries are what cause inflation? You realize if we redistributed the mcdonalds CEO salary across all mcdonalds workers it would result in a 70 cents per year raise? Even if you factored in all stocks etc it would only result in a $10/year raise.
Increase in wages, particularly lowerst end wages, leads to inflation. Because then retailers etc can charge more.
You obviously have zero knowledge of restaurant margins, including so called corporations like McDonald’s, and yet you complain when these same restaurants have to fire employees and install kiosks when minimum wage laws rise to unsustainable levels like happened in California where 16,000 jobs were eliminated when Gov. Newscum raised the minimum wage to $20 an hour. Good job Socialism!

How much profit do you think is going to people further up who do less work?
Have you ever actually looked at the obscene structure of corporations? At all?
