minimum wage
    #788032 - 08/01/15 06:50 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Minimum wage should be raised to...well lets brake this down 15 dollars a day in gas expenses to be comfortable, 20 dollars a day in food  to be comfortable and lets say 60 dollars a day to have fun with you know actually live life with after a shitty 8 hour day=95$ to 100$ definately should be atleast the national minimum wage

Minimum wage is for high school kids bagging groceries and uneducated people who cant get good jobs or make themselves good money through entrepeneurship.

How bout they lower minimum wage and encourage more education, even in technical degrees or skills.

I made $5.65 in high school bagging for heb and the minimum at the time was 5.15. ALL i used it for was for weed. If youre over 21 and still makin miminum then theres other problems going on like lack of education or a felony record. And even felons can start their own business.

The higher the minimum is, the less people feel the need to improve themselves.

Both of my parents grew up dirt poor and struggled to make ends meet. I bought weed because i was one who rebelled against the system. Ive been arrested multiple times, only have an associates, yet i dont use it for shit. I made my own business.

I also have tons of friends who grew up with nothing. My best friend in hs was so freakin poor and now he makes wayyyy more than me, like 70-80k a year selling door to door. He dropped out of high school, got his ged, took one class at a community college then dropped out of that too but he said fuck minimum wage and made something of himself anyways. We used to do soooo many drugs. He was a bigger rebel than I. I live in one of the areas in the US with the highest poverty rates so i see lazy fucks every day. I also see people who see that they can better themselves, and do it. I even see spanish only speaking people  with no education selling food out their cars and make a few hundred a day.

The harder your life was growing up is even MORE reason to make somethting of yourself. Im sure you could make 100k a year yourself if you really wanted to. Just discover your skills and use them to your advantage.

Also, rebelling does not mean saying fuck teachers and authority (unless its cops busting you for drugs). A true rebel knows the real enemies. Some of the biggest rebels were people trying to improve the lives of others. They just see an unjust system and rebel against it.

Im a felon but im not gonna let that hold me back from makin good money or limit my options.

The problem is the cost of living, not the wages we earn (not that the two are not inherently linked, but the metric with which we should measure our costs should be the minimum wage).

lik 35% of older people get jobs in min wage

the only way to get a job is to pay for tons of schooling that put you in debt for the next 10 years

I think people should work 37hours and get paid for the full 40hours,
lunch isn't supposed to be prison

I wouldn't categorize myself as 'older', but I make substantially more than minimum wage and have no formal schooling besides a high school diploma. I'd even venture to say that the %35 you mentioned, if that is an accurate estimate, gave up on themselves and settled. They deserve what they have, and shouldn't be complaining.

yes they should
in 1960 it took a week and a half of work to afford housing
where are we at now in most of the country?
2 1/2 weeks?
then there's all the jobs going oversea's since well forever
but sooner or later we're going to be eating our own foot (figuratively)
not that that has anything to do with successful business or reduced crime

Or perhaps they ended up in situations where job stability was more valuable than trying to find a better one, or they like living in a town that they grew up in.

Nobody should make an unlivable wage, and that's why the cost of living is the problem. If someone can't support a family on an "average" wage there is an inherent problem in how we are managing our society.

Then again, perhaps our problem is capitalism. :awebig:

Minimum wage jobs can lead to higher wages if you apply yourself, and prove that you are a quality employee. Offering every person in McDonald's, for example, a $15 an hour wage isn't going to raise the quality of the product, just the cost.

Like I said, the problem is the cost of living. Raising the minimum wage just establishes a new cost of living. I mean hell. My dad has never made over $15/hr, and a raise to $15/hr at my job would double almost every single employee's wage (and increase the wages of all but the GM by 150%). Of course it's dumb. Like I couldn't meet labor goals if my life depended on it. And I mean people already get pissed enough paying almost $20 for 1 large pizza when they forget to use a coupon.

Controlling/Fixing the costs of housing/electric/water/gas/internet costs is the only way to fix this problem.

Frankly if people weren't so obsessed with using massive amount of water on their lawns it wouldn't be nearly as in demand as it is now.

Exactlt! The problem isnt minimum wage, its the cost of things rising due to people being wasteful.

We live in a disposable society and no one wants to conserve shit like water or electricity yet they cry when they have financial issues.

Also, if you can grow weed then you can grow food and feed your family.

You dont have to grow everything you eat. Even growing a small amount helps. A small t5 set up on a kitchen counter can grow lettuce and herbs right there in the kitchen. You can use a little dwc or rockwooo cubes to not have soil pests.

Also you can use certain pieces of garlic/onion and regrow them at least once. And a garden is a perfectly acceptable use of a yard. In at least new york I know there are people that use the small grass (technically owned by the city) that homeowners are required to upkeep (there is some push back, but I know there is a guy specifically that goes around teaching people how.

Then again people give plants waaaay too much nutrients and then it just flushes into the water table/river channel/sewage system and fucks shit up.

Honestly the home-batteries tesla has been working on make solar power for homes that can store power for night time and makes living completely off the grid far more possible. I'm not 100% sure what materials they use though, or how sustainable they are.

Problem is electric companies don't like the idea of personal solar/wind generation (it kind of is the antithesis of their entire industry, so honestly I can hardly blame them). What they try to do or lobby for is underhanded though.

I grow my veggies with compost and no added nutrients and i got like 40 lbs of tomatos off one plant last season. I agree that most people grow with too many nutes but organics is really starting to become more popular.

I also do peppers, onions, herbs, fruit trees, all kinds of shit. I use them for cooking like making pizza herb pizza dough from scratch then making homemade pizza sauce. When i grew shrooms i did cubes but i also did a few gourmet edible ones like winecaps and of course portabellos.

Getting the munchies after smoking your homegrown bud is super badass when you have homegrown food to go with it.

Growing food is the same as growing weed.

Hydroponics can use up to 90% less water than soil so your argument is invalid. I have a waterfarm with a poblano pepper fed with fox farm nutes thats putting out soooo many peppers right now.

Its all about educating the public.

Here is a way to fix the problem.  Get rid of citizens united and make it illegal for corporations to lobby congress.  Place a cap on lobbying for campaign funds too.  That way politicians aren't making careers as cronies in public office.  Most laws written these days are in favor of corporations instead of citizens.  Our system is completely fucked

1: you don't have to water all crops a ton.
2: capture rain water?
3: people are all ready doing it.

Ooooor be like me and live a 100 yard walk away from a river.

A lot of the methods to regrow a chunk of onion/garlic only requires air, water, and light.

These are just way individuals can curve the cost of living though, but more sustainable energy sources and curving what other costs are would be important too. Frankly I think a minimum wage should be 1 unit of a given currency, and all costs should be derived from that to make it livable.

But that would basically be socialism, and would also me a million times harder than it sounds (and then I realize I'm basically describing the storyline of "Walden Two")

Sucks being poor but complaining doesn't help either.

I don't understand why people complain about raising the minimum wage, it's a basic job you willingly took up. You're not doing anything anyone else can't do hence the minimum wage.

I mean, a huge amount of jobs that pay over the minimum wage aren't any jobs that anyone else can't do. Wages that can't support a living shouldn't be legal, because if people are just barely making ends meet they can't, without risking what little they have, better their lot in life.

The fact shit is just too expensive is even more obvious if you realize how much a basic education costs. It's all ridiculous.

I guess it depends where you live.  Hawaii is pretty fucked economically.  Of course all the corporations and super rich make the numbers here look good. We have some counties that are completely homeless tent communities now.  Management positions start at about $12 an hour.  For a 2 bedroom 800sq ft apartment in a shitty area, it costs me 1250 a month, and it only includes waste disposal.  Electricity is .41 k/w, gas is 3.50 a gal(super cheap right now).  The way people deal with it here is by living with their parents for most of their lives.  Many people I know are raising several children and live with the husband/wife under the parent's roof.  It's so sad to see homeless children.  Unfortunately, this is life in the United states as long as the politicians are lining their wallets with corporate money.

I don't think it's non sequitor at all.

I do think humans aren't capable of following these kind of steps though. We tend to reject what would be best because the masses are looking at our problems from the wrong angle.

I guess it depends where you live.  Hawaii is pretty fucked economically.  Of course all the corporations and super rich make the numbers here look good. We have some counties that are completely homeless tent communities now.  Management positions start at about $12 an hour.  For a 2 bedroom 800sq ft apartment in a shitty area, it costs me 1250 a month, and it only includes waste disposal.  Electricity is .41 k/w, gas is 3.50 a gal(super cheap right now).  The way people deal with it here is by living with their parents for most of their lives.  Many people I know are raising several children and live with the husband/wife under the parent's roof.  It's so sad to see homeless children.  Unfortunately, this is life in the United states as long as the politicians are lining their wallets with corporate money.




Dude, I would go homeless in Hawaii in a second if the locals weren't such racist assholes. You can swim and fish all day and eat bomb ass fruit and what not. What do you need money for when you're already in paradise?

I guess you missed the very first line of my post that said being homeless in Hawaii would be easy as fuck.

This island is way too populated to live like that.  It would be super easy on the big island though.  Hardly any fish around this island with all the commercial fishers. You would have a harder time here if you are white.  Most of the homeless in Hawaii are actual Hawaiians that were forced to leave their family's land by the invasion of American marines. They were only given 1% of their land back after Dole raped their land and forced them into lower education. The schools here were originally made to keep Hawaiians from voting. 

The hotel industry has decided that homeless people are an eyesore, so they are buying plane tickets to send mainlanders back to their homes.  They also lobbied to make it illegal to sleep outside and forced the local homeless to concentrate to the shittiest area on the island where there is no access to food or water.

Well all those "eyesore" bums you're talking about are the lazy victim-mentality homeless people. They take on the idea that their life is fucked up and they live that way. If I was homeless on that island you would never fucking see me because I would straight up live in the bush. I've never understood why people push shopping carts around dirty ass cities and eat from dumpsters when they could simply learn to live in the wild.

Yea I know, like I said peeps over there are super racist. I met this kid from Boston who was camping out over there and his buddy was murdered by the locals, they ran his head over with a jeep.

You greatly misunderstand.  Only the ones that you describe are the ones that the hotels are accommodating(which accounts for less than 10% of our homeless).  There are about 10,000 other homeless here that were living out in the country side of the island, never bothering anybody that got swept up and moved to where there is no access to food or water.  Before, they had the valley that they had fruit, kalo, and fish they could eat.

That sounds really strange about that guy to be honest.  We only have about 10 murders a year here.  The tourists in Waikiki get targeted for their wallets, but it is almost always a strong arm robbery.  The locals anywhere else wont mess with you if you aren't doing some dumb ass shit.  The thing is, tourists always come here doing some dumb shit.  People seem to think this is vegas or something and they get their asses beat.

Minimum Wage is a fallacy and joke, what you need is a look at maximum wages...and why they care..?

Lol I guess I should clarify.  Whites have a problem with the populace, not the system.  It's pretty much a big melting pot here so it's fine for everyone else.  Black people get a bad rep here too.  Not because they are black, but because most of them are military.

I don't think that's the kind of thing that gets reported, the kid was a transient.

If anybody gets killed out here, they report it in the news every night for the next month, tourists included.  Sounds fishy to me.  Locals don't really care for rich people either no matter what color you are.

Trump: "I would shut down government over Planned Parenthood"

Same bullshit.  The GOP cares nothing for the people and constantly write new laws that impose on our freedoms.  All they have to do is defund something(which they do all the time) to effectively kill any chance of the people getting a chance to act against it.  You think trump is going to fix the wealth disparity?  He will just make it worse.
