Now that I've been working for multiple years, the whole "if we raise [minimum] wage to be livable, then prices will skyrocket!!!" idea is really just corporate bootlicking and pretty asinine when you're witnessing prices (in real time!) increase astronomically for the same quality of product while your raises as a worker are only 10¢ increases at a time at most.

The prices are already skyrocketing, yet the minimum wage is comparatively stagnant. I wonder why this could be, because it isn't the greedy workers that are price gouging you.

#politics #anti capitalism #in fact you're paying MORE money for LESS product often #so you'd pay MORE to get LESS. remember when stores advertised that their low prices would mean that you get MORE when you pay LESS?#eventually you'll pay for the $30 big mac so that the person making $10/hour can serve it to you...#...like people go 'we'll have to pay a gazillion dollars if workers make $30/hour!!!!' and that's already happening when they're paid $10
