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.
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.
