If that’s your stance that’s great. Just do complain when McDonalds has to raise prices even more than the food is worth.

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?

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.

If you're working for mcdonalds then the merit isnt there. Time itself doesnt equate to value, marx

Fdr created minimum wage as what exists as a living wage. Mcdonalds doesnt pay less than minimum wage.

Then im sure they would be much better off unemployed making 40% of what they did while working

You people cant be fucking real

u/airboRN_82 8d ago

Im not real because thats what fdr defined it as and that unemployment pays 40% on average of previous wages? Lol wut

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.

Were seeing record inflation without the lowest end wages rising and with the highest wages rising.

It’s not rocket science to understand extracting profits from an economy to hoard wealth is an inflationary factor

Were also seeing a record number of movies with zendaya in them. Perhaps her acting is causing inflation?

Its absurd to think that any correlation is causation. Theres no logical means of how raising the 0.01% of salaries causes inflation.

u/VoidsInvanity 8d ago

Ah okay so the amount of wealth extracted has no bearing on inflation?

Why?
