COVID Relief Package

[OHvol40]

So it sounds like you agree that there shouldn't be a federal minimum wage.

If local govt did an adequate job of maintaining a proper minimum wage, sure.

 

[OHvol40]

Well you’re the one actually treating a job like welfare... right?

People are entitled to demand a minimum pay from an employer? Bull ****.

People are entitled to get what they can, and if they do it by electing people that establish a minimum wage, they’re just playing the game.

Here's a question for you. Did you do anything in your life to expect more than minimum wage for your services?

wow.

 

[OHvol40]

Here's a question for you. Did you do anything in your life to expect more than minimum wage for your services?

Yes. I’ve also worked for minimum wage back when it was $5.15

 

[OHvol40]

wow.

I know, plain, factual statements are shocking in here.

 

[PointGuard]

How many of you nitwits objecting to $15/hr make less than $15/hr? I didn’t think so. Your self righteous superiority is well self righteous

They do. They actually do a much better job than the feds do.

 

[VolStrom]

Yes. I’ve also worked for minimum wage back when it was $5.15

Well, that's impressive. When I was a punk ass kid it was $1.65 and the company I worked for only had to pay $1.50 because they didn't reach the sales numbers that triggered $1.65.

Maybe true. Maybe not. But is a minimum wage hike “Covid relief?”

16 year old kid living at home deserves $15hr?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

If only minimum wage was limited to teeny boppers. It is not. What’s a living wage for a 28 year old Mom with a 3 year old and a 5 year old?

A husband.

LMFAO thanks for confirming the tenets of socialism. All people need to do is vote in wealth redistribution officials and not worry about being worth a ****

 

[VolStrom]

16 year old kid living at home deserves $15hr?

As a retiree I can honestly say I can't wait for hyper inflation to take place and ruin my pension.

 

[NorthDallas40]

So since we make more than that we aren’t allowed to voice our opinion that it de-emphasizes worth in skills... you know the skills we went and acquired so we are worth more than minimum wage. GTFO

I’m good with it especially if it raises my salary by the same percentage. Of course then business will raise their prices for their products so we will be right back to where we were

I worked for much less when I was their age and got by. Even my first job out of college was way less than that but I knew it was temporary if I actually put the work in

I used to work for the privilege of eating and sleeping indoors.

I see we worked for the same place

The current minimum wage isn’t meant for adults to be a long term way of life. I worked for $4.25/hr and had no bills and no skills when I was in the 8th grade, why did I need or deserve $15/hr? If an adult is working for the current min wage they have made some poor decisions along the way and likely are satisfied with their current way of life.

Hahahahaha, you think raising the minimum wage is going to raise your wage by an equal percent? Hahhahahahahaha

 

[vol445]

Hahahahaha, you think raising the minimum wage is going to raise your wage by an equal percent? Hahhahahahahaha

No

 

[volfanhill]

If a business relies on remaining profitable by paying non-livable wages, then they don’t need to be open.

Why is minimum wage part of a Covid relief bill?

 

[VolStrom]

Why is minimum wage part of a Covid relief bill?

Because democrats.

 

[508mikey]

So it won't pass
