On the other hand some people make $15 a minute to perform professional services civil servants could do. The problem isn't that we have too many greedy poor people, it's that too much wealth is in the hands of far too few.
I agree wholeheartedly. I make $40/hour. Have an advanced degree that I got 10 years post undergrad, had to relocate twice, but $40 as a 39 yr old. My wife can stay home with our two boys and homeschool. I also agree with the other pede about everyone should have to work in public service (retail, food - anything where you're always dealing with people) and you'll learn a lot, not to mention how not to treat others.
And if we are going to replace manual laborers with robots, why not use Artificial Intelligence to do away with lawyers and judges? Surely I could speak my intentions to a computer that could draw up a legal will without my having to pay any human being to do so.
One could get a divorce or go through bankruptcy or any number of other legal services with no need for flesh and blood attorneys with palms to grease. Think how much more evenly justice will be applied when the laws are upheld by Artificial Intelligence in the court rather than corrupt judges and lawyers with political axes to grind.
The thing is, there is a difference between flipping a burger at McDonald's and a real restaurant.
I would not judge cooks of any kind. Or anyone really. There are a lot of problems, and you have to understand that in a lot of these cities the cost of living is astronomically higher than most suburbs.
What you get are a lot of people in densely populated areas where it's harder to get a good paying job complaining about how they don't make enough to live.
From where I stand, everyone should be able to make a liveable wage. If you are making a business money, you should be paid a liveable wage.
The problem comes into play where everyone wants a house or high end apartment and the regulations, utilities, internet, etc. are all going up in prices which results in liveable wages being higher than they should be, and indeed higher than many businesses can afford to pay out.
Now with food and basic necessities skyrocketing thanks to the left and the cucked deep state RINOs, it costs $20 bucks to fill up a quarter of a tank of gas, $10 bucks for a small meal and rent in the hundreds on top of a car lease (or unforeseen troubles with an owned car) costs numbering in the hundreds, thousands if repairs are needed and you aren't leasing.
Even good bicycles now are $800+ for entry level. And that's for a hybrid, not even a true road bike which you would probably want if commuting a good few miles in the road.
The inflation is out of control and the cost of living goes up, but wages rarely keep up. So when you see these costs going up sharply like they are now and were before Trump, you get a lot of people who are not necessarily low skilled struggling so they turn for help.
It makes sense when you create this scenario that you can exhort your plans to give free money, tuition, etc. to buy yourself power over the other side.
The average person is not ambitious enough to ask for large sums of cash for a job...that we see it in large numbers is telling.
Funny how the fast food chains have de-valued the restaurant and service industries…. Paying a decent wage to hard working people foreshadows the corporate greed of global chain restaurants with crap food and high paid executives. But the worker busting butt to serve unappreciative, needy, rude customers shifts at a time don’t deserve a higher wage. Everyone should work at some point serving the public. You’ll find good food, good service and good prices don’t equal a good tip. Good/above average tippers are a dying breed these days. Higher wages could be necessary to offset the fact customers no longer tip well.
Yep, short on the tippage but Libs absolutely love paying their taxes, especially the taxation without representation... or over-representation such as those reliant on welfare though most are capable but unwilling, to work/ contribute to the tax base. Their "job" is to have more children (outta wedlock) bc of tax credits... more children ya have, more $$ ya get. Makes sense, right?
Gotta love libs... especially when they leave a blue state for red, then, strangely, bring those same politics which ultimately result into a welfare state and being taxed to death, always resulting with crappier education, healthcare, unaffordable housing, higher state/local tax rates on fuel/property/luxury & sin taxes, rampant homelessness, drug & alc abuse, higher suicide & O.D, bankruptcy/financial ruin... resulting in an overall lower quality of life for the majority, especially the working class.
What they also don't realize is that $15 an hour minimum wage the left promises them is all those guys ever intend on each of us making. They don't want each of us to excel and start earning more than their designated minimum wage.
But you can’t even get much there anymore. Large fries (don’t care what you them are great right out of the grease) > $4.00
The double cheeseburger McDouble whatever was on the $1 menu not a year ago like $3.29 each. Went through a drive-through with family of (6) this Thanksgiving it was almost $60. At that point my wife said that’s it - we’re grabbing a cooler and making sandwiches.
Am I getting old? How long has it been when there were 2 Big Macs / $2...? It was college days back when we lived on Whoppers - anyone remember it...? Whopper Wednesday’s every Wednesday for $1. No limit per person, we’d bag em up and put in the frig but pretty much live on em Wed-Sunday then take a couple days off. Back to the chicken ramen and hot dogs for a few. Ahhh, the good ol’ days.
mcdonalds near me is dead af, not sure how they're still open. Sonic overhauled their menu replacing all their burger patties with fresh beef. theres one next door and theyve had more business than ive ever seen,
Shit, even college costs. $580/credit hour. I’m 6-7 classes away from being done and I’m taking a year break to save money, because I cannot justify taking anymore loans out.
Need to chime in here…. Small independent pub owner here…. We still offer “chemical free” locally sourced all beef 1/2 burgers, chicken and smoked meats… you can get a sandwich, side and a beer for under $10. Just because the corporate fake food crap is getting out of reach.. doesn’t me you can’t still afford to eat out and get a good value on natural ingredient meals. Please look to support small businesses. We can crush the corporate guys
I think that is a big part of this sudden inflation. It’s comping via the corps. Beef has skyrocketed and it is not due to natural forces. All big business beef is processed through 4 processor mega corps. They are the ones gobbling up the price markups. The rancher is paid the same.
Note natural forces?? Well. … Actually…. Beef has skyrocketed due to the processing plants shut down last year…. Beef takes 18 months from inception to market and we are in the sweet spot where farmers were not breeding due to lack of space. Pork is a 9 - 12 month window as well. You could get piglets for $10 when the plants shut down and some farmers destroyed the young ones due to lack of room to house young ones. Wisconsin farmers are forming their own processing plants to have more control and get more for their animals.
Tell u wat pedes, i've probably saved thousands if not HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars these last 3 weeks just by cooking dank ass youtube recipes at home and buying groceries instead of going out to eat all the time. its really 10x more convienient, just gotta wash dishes afterwords. i''d say its worth the trade off!
Not nearly as easy as this commenter implies. Not everyone owns land, has 365 day growing seasons, has access to large freezers or root cellars, time to care for and harvest a self sufficient-sized garden.
I grow for fun as a hobby and spend so many hours every day for the smallest yield each year. There’s no way everyone can grow enough food for themselves and still do other things. Consolidating jobs to specific people to provide for the community is done for a reason. Farmers make it their jobs to grow for everyone for a reason. If you’re going to put in the work to successfully and bountifully grow diverse crops to maintain a human diet, it will take all your time, so you scale up your work.
I guarantee you will not find a single example of a single person, by himself, owning a garden large enough to allow them to never consume frozen plant nutrition unless they live somewhere tropical.
I definitely think its fun and very rewarding. I just also understand that its not something everyone has the patience to learn and stick with. Honestly, if you are anywhere where it get below 45 deg or so, and enjoy growing at all and are able to, get a greenhouse. It's so much fun being able to grow tropical plants way outside of their growth zone.
My husband brought home one of those countertop small convection/toaster ovens a few months ago. It's just the 2 of us. I've been kicking ass cooking with that. Super easy and healthy meals that taste great. And, I'm much more comfortable eating at home instead of a restaurant with crappy chairs.
That's Swiss prices right there, but you don't get a (little bit) higher salary as we do, so dang. how are ppl supposed to afford this shite? Most of my income is spent on bills and food, necessities. That's what they want, us being poor constantly worrying about our next meal, how we are gonna pay rent etc. while slaving away.
These “kids” aren’t waking up. They are just complaining. As soon as one of their friends or professors offers a social justice reason for prices going up they will feel like they are sacrificing for the greater good, and be happy again. Maybe a couple of them will snap out of it. Most will be screaming Nazi at you in a Walmart parking lot for having a Trump 2024 bumper sticker.
I'd avoid 5G if I were you! I dunno if I believe all the conspiracy theories about 5G, but there's a lot of interdasting connections to it that has me avoiding it at all costs.
And I think this was exposed in the documentary "Out of Shadows" (Out of THE Shadows?), but McD's has been found to carry human meat in their freezers at one point (prob still does). I don't have the sauce on hand -- I think the documentary is on both Rumble and Bitchute.
Not so much a claim, but it was in that documentary (I think) and it was big news back in 2014 or so, iirc. If you research or do a search for the story a whole slew of "fact checkers" pop up saying it's been debunked - that in itself is sketchy to me.
So the "story" goes, an inspection of an Oklahoma food processing plant revealed there was a high % human meat found. This brought in an investigation of other such plants and trucks, which revealed human and horse meat. The human meat was said to be child meat. I don't know how you prove that, nor do I know where to find the original story, but there you go.
I'd rather err on the side of caution and just not eat fast food. 😅
I just went there in another town(never shop there because we don't have one here) Pint of whipping cream and container of fresh basil.....$10. Unreal....
A Jewish Rabii has been recorded admitting he sold the meat to a processing plant. I’m not (((bashing them))) here, but I’ve heard the recording. Dunno where it can be sauced tho.
Whether you have a 5G phone or not, the radio waves are still all around us all the time. Waves don't just go straight specifically to a phone and not go anywhere else. These radio frequencies aren't really any different than typical 5Ghz wifi or 4G cell service though.
The problem is that normies (or at least a few of my friends) don’t even realize that the increase in prices is in direct relation to Biden. I said something about it to my friend, and she said “no, I think prices are up just bc of covid.” The sheep are really, really dumb. Lord help me to still love them
Being on reddit at this point, is like having a million dollar salary but you still enjoy taking risks by smoking crack in the back alleys behind where you work. It's fucking dumb, stop doing it.
Hilarious! Reddit hates me. I got a minus huge rating just for telling a histrionic new mother that she might want to be careful and keep communications open. She might need that mother-in-law some time.
Crazies.
When will they realize the democrats have always been screwing them?
School choice, the disabilities act, equal opportunity employment, expanded child tax credits, all are conservative or Republican policy that help everyone at every income level
Democrats only create programs that help illegals and people who don't even try.
Isn't that what they voted for? Why are they complaining? I mean, when was the last time they read a mean tweet?
No. Someone told them they were going to get free tuition, etc., and they fell for it
And this is what happens when people want $15 an hour to flip a burger.
On the other hand some people make $15 a minute to perform professional services civil servants could do. The problem isn't that we have too many greedy poor people, it's that too much wealth is in the hands of far too few.
I agree wholeheartedly. I make $40/hour. Have an advanced degree that I got 10 years post undergrad, had to relocate twice, but $40 as a 39 yr old. My wife can stay home with our two boys and homeschool. I also agree with the other pede about everyone should have to work in public service (retail, food - anything where you're always dealing with people) and you'll learn a lot, not to mention how not to treat others.
And if we are going to replace manual laborers with robots, why not use Artificial Intelligence to do away with lawyers and judges? Surely I could speak my intentions to a computer that could draw up a legal will without my having to pay any human being to do so.
One could get a divorce or go through bankruptcy or any number of other legal services with no need for flesh and blood attorneys with palms to grease. Think how much more evenly justice will be applied when the laws are upheld by Artificial Intelligence in the court rather than corrupt judges and lawyers with political axes to grind.
I can't tell if your being sarcastic, but one day this actually might happen.
Japan has robot doctors and the white collar folks will be replaced long before me
exactly this
Yup, the fight to take your own legs out from under you. Idiots. Want better pay? Get a better job
The thing is, there is a difference between flipping a burger at McDonald's and a real restaurant.
I would not judge cooks of any kind. Or anyone really. There are a lot of problems, and you have to understand that in a lot of these cities the cost of living is astronomically higher than most suburbs.
What you get are a lot of people in densely populated areas where it's harder to get a good paying job complaining about how they don't make enough to live.

Now with food and basic necessities skyrocketing thanks to the left and the cucked deep state RINOs, it costs $20 bucks to fill up a quarter of a tank of gas, $10 bucks for a small meal and rent in the hundreds on top of a car lease (or unforeseen troubles with an owned car) costs numbering in the hundreds, thousands if repairs are needed and you aren't leasing.
Even good bicycles now are $800+ for entry level. And that's for a hybrid, not even a true road bike which you would probably want if commuting a good few miles in the road.

I have tipped 20% for years. My husband is the tight wad.
As someone who has worked as a restaurant server (and my wife has as well), I can say that the stingiest customers were rich liberals.
^^^THIS. And really, just liberals in general.
Yep, short on the tippage but Libs absolutely love paying their taxes, especially the taxation without representation... or over-representation such as those reliant on welfare though most are capable but unwilling, to work/ contribute to the tax base.

These people are stupid

Socialists ALWAYS cause a famine. Look at the 20th century every. last. single. communist/socialist country starved.
Yeah but if you present the facts to them they call you a nazi soooo…..🤷🏻♀️
Inflation may actually start curbing obesity at these rates.
McDonald's takes EBT.
But you can’t even get much there anymore. Large fries (don’t care what you them are great right out of the grease) > $4.00

Plus, the BigMacs were bigger and tasted better.
AAAHHHHHH.... the good ole' days!
I wish they'd offer a small cup of green beans or at least cole slaw in place of fries.
Some people go just for ice cream or coffee.
I've been traveling a lot the last couple months and there is never a shortage of lines at McDs.
mcdonalds near me is dead af, not sure how they're still open. Sonic overhauled their menu replacing all their burger patties with fresh beef. theres one next door and theyve had more business than ive ever seen,
LOL I go for the $1.00 large drink!
Nah. Welfare queens and their breeders who stop by for money and food before being murdered get free food.
Just remember, the average Venezuelan lost 18 pounds!
Little Debbies are still cheap. Let's not drag them across the finish line just yet...
It's those damned farm subsidies! Let's axe those to make it fair!!
And moar regulation for transporters!!!!
And let's raise fuel costs!!!!
This is so true. These are the same people who have said in the past we’ll pay more for food if it’s $15 an hour. Turns out they won’t.
Shit, even college costs. $580/credit hour. I’m 6-7 classes away from being done and I’m taking a year break to save money, because I cannot justify taking anymore loans out.
Don't waste your time on that shitty degree. Loans make you a slave. Pay them all off and fuck college. It's a scam.
I agree wish there was more trade schools and apprenticeship programs out there.
pure evil.

Thank you for what you do. Small businesses are the way to go.
Liberals always needing to be comforted into the harsh realities of the world they create.

Plant a garden with veg and herbs. Source protein from local suppliers. NEVER go down processed or frozen food aisles again. ChaChing$&$&$&$

Groceries have gone up tremendously as well.
For example, a shitty prime rib is like the cost of a halfway decent one last year.
My husband brought home one of those countertop small convection/toaster ovens a few months ago. It's just the 2 of us. I've been kicking ass cooking with that. Super easy and healthy meals that taste great. And, I'm much more comfortable eating at home instead of a restaurant with crappy chairs.
Cheers 🍻 to cooking at home!
...yes

Sometimes I wonder if the government preventing me from entering hospitality venues actually worked out in my favor.

I said something about it to my friend, and she said “no, I think prices are up just bc of covid.” The sheep are really, really dumb. Lord help me to still love them
Come on guys, we all know this is the fault of climate change.
Classic Reddit user.
There's an easy solution to all this. All we have to do is raise wages by 25%. Then lets raise safety net output by 25%. Then raise taxes by 25%.
Not necessarily in that order.
Then next year, we can do it all again!
(If there is a "next year.")
Being on reddit at this point, is like having a million dollar salary but you still enjoy taking risks by smoking crack in the back alleys behind where you work. It's fucking dumb, stop doing it.
No, I'm good. Thanks.
We have plenty of friends over there that have yet to find .win
Be bitter somewhere else faggot.
Internet Lad, now that McDs is planing drive thru robots I’m done with them,
They don't lure robots away with bloated unemployment.
need to stop going to these kitchens to buy their overpriced, low nutritional food filled with sugar and salt
Way to go Brandon!!
Spreading faster then Herpes in Hollyweird!
Stupid fucks.
Let’s Gooooo!
Poor baby Redtards finally figuring things out.
Hilarious! Reddit hates me. I got a minus huge rating just for telling a histrionic new mother that she might want to be careful and keep communications open. She might need that mother-in-law some time. Crazies.
2009 I had to choose between gas or groceries. Seems ti be a pattern here will of this money printing and quantitative easing…
Nah they still won't wake up
Don't eat fast food. Even if it's free.
Maybe you leftists should pay attention and realize what's happening.
Remember how Biden made like 100 executive orders in his first few days, and one of them was to cut Trump's incentives to farmers...?
Wow all of things going on of course food prices awakens the fat fucking neckbeards on reddit wanting their chicken tendies.
"What do you MEAN the government can't print money without consequences?!"
Inflation, like sales tax, penalizes the least of us.
When will they realize the democrats have always been screwing them?
School choice, the disabilities act, equal opportunity employment, expanded child tax credits, all are conservative or Republican policy that help everyone at every income level
Democrats only create programs that help illegals and people who don't even try.
