I'm still struggling to understand how that would work.

I'm not seeing where they're competing for workers just bc I have UBI.

If they paid a living wage while no one else did, that would be competing for employees.

Me having UBI just means I'm not obligated to find a job. I still hate OP CEOs.

That's what I asked?

Why do people give so many randoms with a follower count so much attention?

Also I guess you need to be on Das X (insert salute) in order to see these "important people".

The issue isn't people deciding where to work. The issue is people not making enough to live.

Like, how does letting CEO pay be unlimited help the rest of us just bc I get UBI?

Also Susan, $15 an hour is $15 too little.

COL equates on avge approximately $30 an hour.

IE me. Widow, 2 kids, $29 an hr and living paycheck to paycheck.

$15 is a joke. It was a "feel good" gesture.

You didn't say that and that makes sense.

But that only handles how much they make and still does not address how little everyone else is making which is the problem.

So instead of forcing CEOs to pay livable wages & forcing them to be responsible, it's easier to just let them do what they want & give everyone money?

Idk if that's the best option.

Universal HC, livable wages, not for profit higher Ed, those things are how you address some of humanity's issues.

Except people have been on snap, myself included, when the GOP weren't in complete control. This didn't start with this administration.

SNAP and other programs exist bc CEOs won't pay their employees. Not the DEMs or GOP. CEOs.

No.
Companies pay wages.

Government and companies work together. They are not entirely separate entities.

IE
If I tell you the max payment to get gas is $100, you can give me $1 and get gas. You'll never pay over a $100.

If I tell you the min to get gas is $100 then you have to pay the min to get gas.

Again, it's the MW not being raised over decades to stay in line with the COL.

31.10.2025 09:11 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The idea was to say, "You can't pay less than X." bc when it was created the minimum wage was livable.

But if you don't raise the MW as prices and the COL go up, it's no longer a livable wage.

Has nothing to do with being labeled as "poor".

If you max it then they don't have to pay it.

The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.

I'll say this and will continue saying it.

We don't need trials. Everyone is watching it live. We have millions of videos and news clips and audio bites to just scoop them up, their families and end them.

A cleansing if you will. Removing cancer. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

And that should change.

The fact that any normal person would be fired from their job if they had 1 boss but this clown and others represent millions of bosses and said bosses have to wait, 2, 4, 6 yrs to "fire" a shit employee.

Special session. Gtfo.

People. Voters.
They should be the ones who should sue. They should be able to have a special session whenever this happens.

I don't understand why we let these clowns keep a job when we wouldn't be allowed to do so.

I was skeptical at first, but frankly Liam Hemsworth does a solid job as Geralt. I honestly forgot it wasn't Henry Cavil a couple times. And frankly, it helps that this was the best written season of The Witcher since the 1st season. It's not a complete mess and actually engaging to watch.

Simon? It's a lot more than that.

IE Trump himself in 16 wasn't running under any banner until he was told he better choose or he'd probably lose.

It also takes a ton of money & our media does not afford the same courtesies to 3rd party candidates as they do the 2 that pay them.
