THIS!

Just wait till it comes tickling down....

Right. Think about 2020. Even though there were expanded benefits and stimulus checks, it was still all getting funneled to the richest people. The richest people are still going to get all the money in the long run.

Also: Crisis, my government spent 6 billion to keep the economy going. End of the year: The 100 richest people in the country gained 4 billion to their names last year.

when it comes to cleaning your unflushed sht and all the paper towels on the floor next to the trashcan - damn straight us janitors need at least $15 / hr

If you can't afford to properly pay your staff then...

And the bail money to get out of jail... ;)

I work with homeless people. Some of them have jobs - convenience stores, meat processing, driving a snow plow. These are essential jobs and they're in a homeless shelter.

Bird app lol

When I worked in Burger King in the UK I noticed that the average meal cost around an hour of my time. Funny that it happens world wide and that the price of the meal has gone up when wages have.

It's so frustrating to hear my 15 year old nephew say that poor people can get rich if they just work hard. Poor people work harder than anyone else.

If you can't afford to pay your employees a decent wage, you're doing something wrong.

In the UK we have different minimum wage depending on age. It ranges from £4.15 for an apprentice up to £8.72 (about $11.80) for people 25 and over.

I always hear "BUT THE STOCK MARKET"! And.... people having money to buy things and stay out of debt is bad how?

And for that matter...politicians

Even worse, some of them might even decide to quit their second and third job.

But you don't have to pay professional athletes more. Or Senators, CEOs, talk radio hosts or plastic surgeons.

The business you work for IS supposed to pay you enough to pay your rent, bills, and other various costs of living... it's called a job. People have them so they can pay for those things specifically. Heard of it? Or are you so privileged that you've never needed to work in your life to provide for yourself.

Did somebody put veritas serum in this man's martini?

100+ years ago, workers in US were rioting and striking for basic safety and a living wage. I'm just making an observation.

I love the "Undercover Boss" series where a CEO goes undercover, finds out how committed his employees are despite their terrible working conditions and in the end comes to the conclusion that he's been underpaying his employees for years. But only a few of them actually raised the wages in the entire company.

Poor American: " Yeah, but it's not actually that he's making that much money because Jeff got his expenses too and, like, you know it isn't actual money like, you know, that he can immediately draw from his bank account in cash, you know what I'm saying? And he earned that money all by himself so why should the government be allowed to, like, rob poor Jeff with a 20% tax rate? "

Unpaid internship is another thing that shouldn‘t exist. I wonder how many countries have that at all. The only unpaid internship I am aware of in my country is a mandatory two-weeks internship for all pupils in 8th grade or so, so they could see what real jobs are like.

Somehow poor people in the US get very offended when you propose a tax system where the extremely rich people pay more on taxes than the poor. The furiosity and vigor they show when they are defending the rich never ceases to amaze me.

just here blocking the comment below! have a good day :)

They look back fondly to the times they didn't have to pay anything to their workers at all.

They're planning ahead for price hikes..

Hmmm. I wonder if these two things are connected in some way.

Captions are wrong. People all stare in awe when a guy manages to make millions per day over the backs of underpaid workers, but no one bats an eye when people get underpaid, exploited and have to work in the most terrible working conditions.
