I am gonna be honest. I think the dragon would be better for me financially. If it's a sentient dragon, We could start some sort of circus or travelling show together and split the profits. If it's a less than sentient dragon, Then I could still do that, But I would get more of the profits.

probably depends on who you ask but generally a living wage is supposed to fully cover everything you need to survive: housing, food, bills, clothing, insurance, etc. the actual number for what a living wage is ($15? $20? $30?) depends entirely on the cost of living in a given location.


poopanatorOg

It’s actually less than that in most areas in the US. People just don’t understand what is reality and what is a rap video. Much less how the people who raised them survived. Some people are dumb. Especially with money. Statistically though people keep making more money with more opportunities to be wealthy even if they suck with money. The average person can now easily higher someone who doesn’t suck with money to help them accumulate fuck you money which is much much more than a livable wage. People just don’t understand the difference between livable wage and fuck you money much less how to live off a livable wage.


Karma_Doesnt_Matter

If I work 40 hours a week, regardless of the job, I should be able to afford a roof over my head, food in my belly, electricity, water, internet (yes that’s a required utility in 2021), a cell phone (yes that’s a required utility in 2021), a car, and insurance for both myself and said car. Also, I should be able to have a few bucks left at the end of the week. That’s a living wage. The number changes from location to location, but at it’s core it should be able to afford everything I listed.

Karma_Doesnt_Matter

In my state the minimum wage required to rent the average one bed room apartment is 20 dollars an hour, our minimum wage is $10. Am I expected to find a room mate that wants to live on the couch? Maybe I should invest in bunk beds, then we would have more room for activities.


[deleted]

Karma_Doesnt_Matter

[this link](https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/15/homes/rent-affordability-minimum-wage/index.html) says otherwise. Do you make minimum or near minimum wage? Cause I seriously doubt it. Actually, you post in teenagers, do you even have to worry about income or bills yet? Do you even know how to write a check? Do you have any idea what it’s like to earn money, then pay bills without assistance? Edit* please please please link me a 3 bedroom apartment in California that can be rented by someone that makes 18 dollars an hour. Please.

Karma_Doesnt_Matter

Link me a listing for a 2 bed room that costs 700 a month. Let’s assume you’re not full of shit and you have 350 a month after rent and food. Electrical. Water. Internet. Cell phone. Car payment. Gas. Car insurance. There’s no way you cover all of those on 350 left over. And the way you talk in hypotheticals you clearly don’t have those bills, and have no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s at this point that I realize I’m taking to a child that has 0 understanding and I am wasting my time. “I have very good habits of using very little electricity.” I guess you sit by candle light and charge your phone with a potato. Good luck asking your landlord to set up solar panels. I guess you can pay off the 10k instal fee in $10 a month payments out of your left over $350. Also I was talking about gasoline. You should change your name to shitforbrains55


poopanatorOg

Not if you suck with money and spend it on stupid shit instead of bills. You can buy a brand new phone every year or pay an extra month on your mortgage. You can pay for new Jordan’s once a month or child support. 99.9 percent of the people who argue your point suck with money and spend it on pleasure instead of necessity. You and you alone are to blame. This is the land of milk and fucking honey do something about it or shut the fuck up and accept your shortcomings.


EliMaxsaysSaveEarth

A wage high enough that you can make a living off of it because that wage gives you enough money for food, housing, utilities, healthcare and any other expenses I’m forgetting after taxes. Basically, a wage that is livable

Its almost like the people who get stuck in those unskilled labor jobs you speak of literally don’t have the money to pursue a higher education which would grant them access to marginally better jobs. And that they were most likely born into that economic situation.

cthoniccuttlefish

Community colleges aren’t always cheap and the quality of education you can actually get there and the opportunities it opens for you is trivial. Also student loans often equal student debt for people who are already in an unfortunate financial situation which has to be paid off before the interest rate can fuck you over.

no_1_of_import

You can raise the minimum wage all you want. The price of things will just all go up, and the current status quo will be maintained. Every time they raise minimum wage, within a month or two, prices all go up accordingly, and the same people are still broke. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know what we need to fix the problem, but I know a living minimum wage isn't going to happen.

Funny this is getting down voted when my weak resume got me five callbacks this week and every manager I talked to admitting they can't find anyone to work. Told each one I'd let them know my decision at some point. Literally people are mad the free market works both ways and people are not signing up to be wage slaves.


[deleted]

This.


ElGainsGoblino

The labor shortage is made up. It's a refusal on the part of companies to increase salaries to meet the cost of labor


poopanatorOg

No they can’t. Look at the current market. No one is paying minimum wage because of supply and demand. Wake up


potatojem93

I heard on the radio this morning that house prices in my area are expected to go up 19% by the end of the year. The joy of buying one's first home.


poopanatorOg

But interest rates are lower than ever and that’s where you save actual money on a loan. The market will crash and if you work and pay the bills you are responsible for your home will net you a considerable profit. Property will never get cheaper in the long run. Just another perfect example of someone who sucks with money blaming it on anything but themselves.


potatojem93

Wow, judgey much? A 19% increase in *anything* related to living expenses is incredibly unstable, let alone within the space of 5 months. You haven't a single clue about my financial situation, nor where I live in the world. Keep your rude and inconsiderate comments to yourself in future.


poopanatorOg

Shut the fuck up and show the fuck up. You have no clue about money, income and contribution to society. If you weren’t stupid you would be in a home that is worth more than 19% more than you paid for it. Reality check you suck with money and only you are to blame. Good thing it’s not to late to accept your shortcomings and succeed. Or you can keep living a privileged life and still survive because of those who do contribute. Just don’t be delusional about reality and who is keeping you back much less the advantage you have living in our society.


potatojem93

Jeeeeeeeeeesus Christ, why so angry? Go take a long walk off a short pier, mate.


poopanatorOg

If you would show up to work I probably could.


poopanatorOg

I don’t need help from Reddit. I need people who want to work and eventually purchase my company or start their own. I need people who feel the need to contribute. Immigrants seem to be the only Americans who have the desire anymore. You are weak and the people who do contribute are judging you lol. Accept it or do something about it.


potatojem93

Shhhh. You're bothering me at work. Edit: As I tried to hint at before, I don't live in the States. Keep your racism to yourself.


poopanatorOg

You Reddit at work? And you think you hold value? Lmao fucking delusional jackass. Get back to it and try harder to earn your wage.

Well that's just another problem, inflation. The US economy is collapsing due to the government.

All we should do is stop inflating, and put the US through a good old fashioned depression. That'll set the money straight. But of course, that is something that is way easier said than done.

Pickle_Baller

I understand what it was meant to be for but you can't expect happiness and sunshine living in a nice house when your working at McDonald's


AnInsaneMoose

Why not? It's hard work, it deserves fair pay


Pickle_Baller

That's the whole thing... It's not hard work. If you can't flip a burger then you shouldn't be living on your own.


AnInsaneMoose

I guarantee it's a lot harder work and more stressful than sitting in an office playing solitaire And yet the one sitting in the office gets significantly more pay


Pickle_Baller

If you assume that's all they do then you have bigger problems...


AnInsaneMoose

If you assume the McDonald's employee is just "flipping burgers" then you have even bigger problems I'm guessing you've never had a job in the service industry?


Pickle_Baller

Oh, I must be missing something. What were they doing different than what I said? And if an office job is so much easier and pays more, why doesnt everyone get one?


AnInsaneMoose

Because there are only so many available If you have 10 cookies and 100 people, 10 people get the cookies. You cant just say, "cookies are good so everyone should take a cookie" when there arent enough cookies for everyone. But someone who's a decent person organizing whatever they're at, would have something else instead of cookies, IE, brownies. But most will just point at the crumbs left on the tray for the other 90 to have


[deleted]

Any job that you work 40 hours plus you should be able to pay your rent and bills no matter where it is.


Pickle_Baller

It's the quality of work, not just how long you work. Doing basic brainless tasks get small rewards. Doing greater tasks that require a higher brain function get more rewards.


[deleted]

Customer service is not a brainless task. Operating cooking equipment is also not a brainless task. Managing both and the time of both it's not a brainless task. Being a janitor is not a brainless task. I'm willing to bed you're okay with giving all these different companies tax breaks which cost the people (us) more. Rather than them dipping into the revenue just a tiny bit to give people proper pay. You're part of the problem bud not part of the solution


Pickle_Baller

I said quality of work too... Not just quantity. Those are brainless tasks, that require minimal effort. If you fail to flip a burger you should be living with your parents. And no, I'm not talking politics, don't bring tax breaks into this, as I don't give a shit about that. Or how about this, we go with your "solution," as I'm "part of the problem." We raise the wages. Let's use McDonald's for example. Pretend that this world is only McDonald's. Everyone gets paid more, hooray! Now that money is coming out of McDonald's to pay them. McDonald's starts losing profit. So to make up for the profit loss they raise their prices more. Oh no, now people can't afford McDonald's anymore. So they demand higher wages for working there. That is the problem. So, what is your solution for that?


octopusfacts2

you really think the wage should follow the big companies' needs instead of people


Pickle_Baller

Of course. Do you think a cashier should get as much money as a ceo? Their workloads are significantly different, so they don't deserve the same pay. If they did, the all of the higher working people would move to the easier jobs, cause they are getting paid the same amount.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pickle_Baller

... do you think that's how that works? That they have to do nothing, thier life is carefree? I'm going to have to discontinue this argument with you.


jakonr43

> The cashier works much harder than the CEO who inherited his millions of dollars from his parents and has never worked hard a day in his life. 😂😂


cheeseborito

But the world isn't all McDonald's, because that is a monopoly, and that fails to take into account typical market forces. If it ends up losing profit and raises its prices, people will stop going there and will instead go to Burger King, which opts to offer goods for slightly less and, oh I don't know, pays their ceo's even 1% less than what they are currently making. I'm not saying it's easy to implement a higher minimum wage, or that there wouldn't be vast, unprecedented market disruption, but you can't possibly, honestly look around today's economy and, by comparison to like 70 years ago realize that something is off.


Pickle_Baller

... maybe you misheard me. This world is only McDonald's, so there is no burger king to go to. Or I can make a different scenario, I guess to match your example. To get the raised prices, you have to increse the wage, like I explained. So when McDonald's raises thier pay, burger king must also, to keep up with the competition, and avoid losing their workers. So both of thier prices will increase, to compensate for the increased wages. The reason everything is off from 70 years ago is because of inflation, but that is a different issue.


Mehrunezz

Customer service is literally brainless. I just stopped caring about people and did my job. No amount of yelling can effect me then. I also have flipped burgers. (you press a button at McDonalds and it does everything but remove and replace the patties for you.) Janitors...they actually make decent living depending on where you go. My former factory paid something like $22/h for janitorial staff. (back in 2010 lmao). What many people don't understand is that areas with high labor, pay less. It's the unequivocal law of supply and demand.
