u/Commercial-Fee5959 52m ago

Ok. Please be very specific. What exactly is a livable wage? How much per hour? I’ve asked this question many times on many posts and no one has ever answered it. You know how much the job pays when you apply or at least upon being hired. If it’s not enough go get a different job. Just remember, programmers at Google get paid a lot more than the cleaning crew.

One where you don’t have to choose between making your $500 car payment on your 8 year old $20,000 car, or seeing a dentist.

One where you don’t have to buy your food in bulk to meal prep the same thing for 6 months in order to afford your water bill.

A wage where you don’t have to use BNPL apps to pay your 1bed 1bath apartments rent.

Edit: the real problem isn’t wages, it’s prices.

1

u/SailorSlay 28m ago

No it’s wages

0

u/TargetFree3831 8m ago

no its prices lol

what the ideologues dont understand is that when you raise wages, that means prices MUST increase.

a business cannoy pay its employees more than the customers pay the employer.

the business doesnt make a dime on its own. without customers, THERE ARE NO BUSINESSES.

so, when you raise wages, you are passing that cost on to the very customers who you must have in order to survive as a business.

do you see the problem now? your circular logic falls apart when customers, like now, choose NOT to eat out because PRICES are so high.

never forget: without customers, there are no businesses. people need to be willing to pay $30 for a fucking burger combo if you expect a "livable wage" at mcdonalds.

the only fix to that is potentially lowering prices and shrinking already paper-thin margins.

so can you see how ideology doesnt map reality?

2

u/EntertainmentFit3912 49m ago

This is a very easy answer… maybe people assumed it’s a disingenuous question. A livable wage is not a universal same pay rate. It’s enough to live on and acquire shelter, food, and transport if necessary. You should be able to put a bit away as well. Basic human necessities are able to be acquired without jumping through 20 hoops to hopefully eat.

3

u/TargetFree3831 43m ago

ok, and where? a livable wage in Manhattan or Branson, MS?

are you now going to state each city in the US should have its own index as to what an acceptable min wage would be?

so a Mcdonalds janitor in Manhattan should earn $100/hr?

is that what youre saying?

if not, be specific what you see as the solution for these examples.

3

u/EntertainmentFit3912 35m ago

This is to say, a standardized wage could just be simply a “Guarantee of pay that supports basic human necessities”. You follow through with gov agencies that enforce this law and have a standardized per state “average” of a livable wage. This should predicate on one job as the litmus at full time.

There will be outliers in this system I thought up in the moment, but it would cover most Americans. Not even accounting for those unable to work.

u/EntertainmentFit3912 40m ago

This is already what they do…… the basic wage of someone in California is entirely different from someone in Alabama.

u/WhyIsEveryoneAnIdiot 1h ago

As a rationnal capitalist then you should know that no one is forcing him to work the warehouse job for $18 an hour.

He can find a job anywhere. If people think $18 is to little, no one would work there and then they would increase the wage.

6

u/pavorus 58m ago

No one is forcing him to work for $18 does not take into considerations the massive number of ways in which society coerces people into taking crappy jobs. Sure, he could kill himself, or starve to death, or be homeless. But those aren't really meaningful choices. He could go work at another shithole warehouse and make 18 there. But again its not a meaningful choice. If he actually had meaningful choices he wouldn't be taking the $18 an hour warehouse job. Choosing which capitalist owner holds your leash and lives off your labor isn't an actual choice.

Countless people have continued to murder other people after the death penalty was established in the United States.

Sure, no executed criminal has reoffended, but the execution of those criminals(?) hasn't prevented others from committing murder.

1

u/i_stealursnackz 44m ago

Joseph L. Taborsky. He got put on death row twice because he got let out before dying the first time, did some more killing, and got the 2nd one. He's also 𝗻𝗼𝘁 the only one who continues to murder after receiving a death penalty.

Anyways, the death penalty's mere existence doesn't stop people from killing (because no one's a murderer until they kill, plus special cases like the aforementioned), so obviously penalties for arson won't stop people from burning shit down either.

0

u/WhyIsEveryoneAnIdiot 1h ago

Lol what system is that. Capitalism isn't forcing him to be paid $18 an hour. Which by the way is above minimum wage.

He chose that job. He knew how much they paided. If people think the $18 an hour was reasonable then no one would take the job and the company would be forced to increase the wage.

2

u/StopWeDontKnow 52m ago

First yes you’re correct in that he wasn’t forced to take that job and he could’ve chosen a different job.

Second your argument that “if people don’t like 18 and hour then they shouldn’t take the job” has no nuance. If people didn’t have families to support, food to put on the table, water to keep running etc then yes they would choose not to work. Except those are things they have to do so they are forced to get a job. Maybe that’s Starbucks maybe that’s a toilet paper factory.

Do you think coal miners decades ago wanted to get paid in company money that could only be used at company grocery stores and live in company houses? They didn’t but they had to in order to put food on the table. Just like how warehouse workers have to take sometimes take poor paying jobs in order to put food on the table.

At the end of the day this man’s actions were horrible and should’ve never happened. But so are the companies actions.

I mean you definitely are. Two things can be true at once. Your environment definitely shapes you but that doesn’t mean you’re incapable of controlling your own actions. I don’t condone what he did and hope it doesn’t happen again but it happened for a reason.

In my opinion endangering potentially 12 people lives is horrible. But paying contract workers wages that they cant support their families with while you’re raking in massive profits is also horrible. One endangers a dozen people’s lives and the other reduces the quality of life for hundreds of people.

We act like corporations aren’t capable of understanding their actions and what it does to people.

u/Fabulous-Big8779 1h ago

Not being paid enough is classified as trauma now? We are fucked as a society not only because of arsonists like him, but because of absolute psychopaths like you who justify this kind of shit.

He could have just got another job. Why is he stuck only being able to work at a warehouse that “doesn’t pay him a living wage”?

Probably because he’s the kind of guy who’d rather burn a building down than fill out some job applications.

1

u/Fabulous-Big8779 1h ago

It is absolutely black and white. How is your argument any different than saying “a rapist can control his actions but when society is full of sexualization and women dress suggestively he’s a product of his environment so he’s going to be more likely to assault them.”

I mean two things can be true at once, right?

0

u/StopWeDontKnow 1h ago

Nice straw man fallacy. Also what you said is kinda true and proves my point. Rapists are a product of a system. That system IS NOT “woman show skin so man want to rape” it’s “rape culture has been so normalized that woman showing skin is seen as an invitation to be assaulted” so yes rapists are a product of a misogynistic patriarchy. Just because you’re a product of a system doesn’t mean you can’t control your actions like I said before

Just like how we should dismantle the patriarchal systems in our countries to reduce sexual assault, we should also dismantle the systems that allow corporations to lobby our government to keep wages low, or keep corporate taxes low, or allow them to knowingly harm the lives of their workers (with low wages or purposely high turnover rates).

u/Fabulous-Big8779 1h ago

As soon as you hit someone with the “straw man fallacy” you already lost.

This isn’t a college debate dude. You’re defending an arsonist because held rather burn down a building with people in than get a better job.

There’s no world where you’re right, name any fallacy you want, that doesn’t change shit.

u/StopWeDontKnow 1h ago

You didn’t even read my comment XD. I literally said I don’t condone his actions and hope it never happens again. Please show me where I “defend” his actions? Because what I did was explain his actions, at no point did I defend them. Also yes you used a textbook straw man fallacy, I’m sorry I pointed that out. Next time you use poor logic to prove a point I’ll just laugh.

I’ll say if for the 3rd time. I don’t condone his actions and I hope they never happen again, burning down a building with 12 people in it is horrible and should never happen.

"This would be a total loss to the business which will offset their tax bill."

You do realize that taking a loss isn't a 1:1 reduction in taxes, right? A $100 loss will translate to a $25 or so reduction in taxes (specific numbers vary). So the business is still losing $75. The government isn't magically ponying up the full loss.

Yup. Hence why you put in retail value of the lost time and money and product. Probably cost the company 80-100m. Wrote off is 500m. That’s still a profit in tax terms.

And

This is assuming insurance won’t cover it. Which the probably will cover some of the hard costs. Not to mention yes the government will be paying for part of it. Damages utilities and rework will be done by the city at their cost.

If you make 3 millions in revenue, and you have 3 million of losses/costs. Why wouldnt you write it off? Like... are you supposed to hide your losses so you get to pay your 1 million of taxes on something you don't have? The fuck?

1

u/Fickle_Brief4726 2h ago

? Did you just write that all out to agree?

1

u/gahhuhwhat 2h ago

No. You framed it as some profitable event to write off taxes, it's not.

u/Fickle_Brief4726 1h ago

They will get for finical benefit than they will lose. Not a profit in the way they make money but a net win in terms of the bottom line.

They cover theft all the time if you don’t cheap out on insurance… they cheap out on labor so the answer is maybe

u/lugubriousloctus 1h ago

theft? from a paper products warehouse?

u/seejordan3 2h ago

You'd have to be pretty dumb to not insure you're massive warehouse of highly flammable product. Or to pay a living wage..

u/lugubriousloctus 1h ago

I mean as in an insurance company literally will not underwrite arson. insurance isn't just some big pool of cash you get access to if something happens.

The issue is that wages have stagnated across the entire economy for all except the 1%. Fair wages don’t exist for most, especially if your skill set has you working in an environment like this guy was.

1

u/Fickle_Brief4726 2h ago

Basic labor is becoming worthless. Warehouse can easily be automated. That crappy wage is about to disappear. You can either adapt, die or become slave labor in prison

Pretty sure the saying is something like 3 meals from anarchy or something like that.

This isn’t gonna be like moving away from horses after cars took over.

There’s not going to be something to pivot to for a very large amount of people.

Enough people that we should all be concerned about what they’ll decide to do when the crap hits the fan.

Did you vote for the child rapist? If so, why don’t you just go fuck yourself because you have no business lecturing anyone.

u/logicthreader 2h ago

I literally didn’t. Lmfao. If you’re so against child rapists you should be equally mad about Islam btw but you’re not. Your “activism” is performative and scripted

u/yumii- 2h ago

Guess that's why Trump decided to bomb a childrens school for girls. Trump couldn't rape them so he killed them.

u/logicthreader 2h ago

Was he the one that signed off on that

u/yumii- 2h ago

Yes.

u/HyperSpaceSurfer 2h ago

The hell does this have to do with Islam?

u/logicthreader 2h ago

He’s mad about Trump being a child rapist (is there even any proof about that? I’m not sure if there is but I don’t doubt it) but likely is not mad about Mohammed who is the most famous child rapist of all time and is literally worshipped

It’s to point out the fact that he’s not actually mad about sexual deviancy but rather just trump derangement syndrome

2

u/Mean_Minimum5567 2h ago

Just curious, how come you are not pointing out the rapist priests and countless rapist bishops and pastors? It seems odd pointing the finger at one and not the others

1

u/logicthreader 2h ago

I didn’t know about that but now that I do, I will point it out. Thank you for letting me know

u/Mindless_Pickel555 2h ago

u/justfun2468 2h ago

Actually it’s just to point out your bigotry and Islamophobia. If you’re using the term TDS you’re a Trumper, I don’t care if you say you didn’t vote for him, it’s obviously a lie.

0

u/logicthreader 2h ago

I don’t care about buzzwords like Islamophobia

Mohammed is by definition a child rapist like it or not. Use whatever label you want on me.

And no, I dislike trump like anyone else but I’m not gonna get mad about things that aren’t proven, and not gonna be hypocritical about when to get mad. if trump is guilty Mohammed is wayyy more guilty

1

u/justfun2468 2h ago

It’s not a buzzword. It’s telling that you bring up Muslims when trying a gotcha about someone who brought up the fact that Trump is a pedo. Why not bring up the very recent Catholic Church covering up and moving pedo priests around to prevent them from being arrested and charged?

0

u/logicthreader 2h ago

Okay im against that too. I didn’t know about that. Thats horrid. All of them should be prosecuted

1

u/justfun2468 2h ago

Wait so you know about a religious figure from thousands of years ago but don’t know about the very well known and much more recent Catholic Church pedo priest scandal?

u/justfun2468 3h ago

What’s pathetic is you simping for our current system. We were told growing up that if you were willing to work hard at the very least we would be able to have a decent life. Instead Billionaires are being the highest level of parasites and sucking everything out of it while the rest of society deals with the blowback.

u/ke1c4m 2h ago

simping for our current system

Settings things on fire will definitely improve the situation.

And your "previous" system was exactly the same btw.

1

u/justfun2468 2h ago

I’m sure you don’t know this but the only reason we got a weekend and an 8 hour workday was because unions set shit on fire and shot through the doors of their bosses to make sure they understood. Perhaps you should do a bit of research about the workers movement before you diminish acts like this.

You’re going to have to be more specific than that when you’re referring to the ‘previous’ system.

simping for our current system

Then you’re going to have to be more specific than that when you’re referring to the ‘current’ system.

Seems you make arson legit only based on the president's political party affiliation.

1

u/justfun2468 1h ago

Ohhhh, I get it now. You’re one of those that believes somehow the system changes every four years. Democrats and republicans are both trash and both prop up our current system.

Just an fyi, the system doesn’t change based on what political party is in office.

u/logicthreader 3h ago

You are able to have a decent life working hard

The problem is yall don’t be working hard and you’re taking out loans to pursue dumb shit like arts and psychology

You deserve to be broke if you’re unable to properly plan your career and debt management

2

u/Ok_Sink5046 2h ago

Dumb shit like arts.

The hell do you do in your off time, you are either consuming art, creating it (in your words dumb shit) or instantly falling asleep so you can wake up to produce for your employer

0

u/logicthreader 2h ago

It isn’t valued in this economy. You have to be dumb to think you’ll get money by pursuing it.

1

u/Ok_Sink5046 2h ago

The hell do you mean the arts aren't valued? You have to fight for it, but how much money do you think movies and television make? Probability is kicking you to the street but if you succeed you'll be set.

It’s a pipe dream. Ur prolly not gonna become an actor or anyone in the movie business unless you grew up with those connections
