whos on third?
Pada, If I were you I would keep that diploma thing on the down low. imoIf you own a business, what comes first, your ability to turn a profit or the ethical treatment of your employees?
For example, if you make $.01 profit for every business day after costs, but your employees earn a living wage, is that better or worse, in your opinion, than you earning $5.00 profit for every business day, but your employees require government assistance to pay their bills? How did you reach your conclusion?
I say 60 and minimum wage at that point should cover their basic needs, if not then I would agree that the minimum isn't enough.i wonder if McD, walmart have that issue..a profit? and yet they suggest a typical hourly should work 80 hours and apply for SNAP to make ends meet..
Well, I was thinking about this general kinda thing today while driving to work.
I would want to pay my employees well, but only if I was making a decent profit too, or at least could see it coming in the near future.
I really care about the plight of poor people, minimum wage earners, etc. And I would respect and desire to help my employees. But there's no fucking way in hell that I'm going to go out on a limb and risk my present and future being self-employed mainly to help other people. If I can't see a future of good profit soon, I'm closing that business down and bailing to find gainful employment. My family depends on me doing so.
my problem isn't anything to do with minimum wage. It's the living wage thing more than anything else. I totally think minimum wage needs to be higher, but $15 for some jobs doesn't sit well with me. I feel for the person who trained and went to school and is an admin or event planner/manager or similar and struggles to even earn their $13/hr when they have school loans and other things to pay. Suddenly the bagger at the grocery store with six teeth and and a body odor problem is making more than him or her the admin. Maybe make the mon wage like $10 or $11. Seems more fair to those who got where they are by working through the ranks.that's why smart businesses use bonus, spiff = cash incentive and works well..not to derail this thread but i noticed the company i'm working for is european no wonder! they know the value of paying your employees better than minimum, benefits and PTO.
minimum is $290/week = nothing
pay minimum; you get minimum!
your tiny penis.whos on third?
here's another fun fact: you hang curtains, rely on your wife's wealth, have a tiny penis, and struggle with mental retardation. even your fellow klansmen think you are stupid.That's just one of the problems with our resident lib's take on this topic. It assumes that next year will be profitable just because this year was profitable. When hard times hit (and they always do), the capital that the business owner accrues, allows for the business to survive and keep paying its employees. Most businesses are undercapitalized from day one.
Here's a fun fact. 65% of small businesses can't make it to four years of operation.
your tiny penis.
that's exactly what someone with a tiny penis would say.actually. seems to have made it to home base as your focal point and has now become the object of your shoulder chip. wallow in my penis all you want brah. youre just adding to the self evidentfulness of it all.
way2ez.
iRoll.
its technically called a BUCKdown.
apparently.
you go girl.
no more wendys floor for you.
Are you a sovereign citizen?
I was wondering, because you sound a lot like someone from that group.I don't recognize the right of any person or group of people to run my life for me and most important I accept that I don't have any right to run others lives. I believe in consensual human relations. More of a Voluntarist Panarchist, but sometimes definitions can be misleading. I don't think many (any?) citizens by definition are "sovereign", so no I don't use that term to describe myself.
I usually play solo.I was wondering, because you sound a lot like someone from that group.
so then the dream is only for some?I say 60 and minimum wage at that point should cover their basic needs, if not then I would agree that the minimum isn't enough.
The Dream is gonna be more expensive, and is not part of what minimum wage covers.
