Under no pretext should a portion of the profit margin be surrendered; any attempt to compensate the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
If you canot afford to pay your workers a decent wage, then it is irresponsible for you to own a business.
It means you don't have a viable business plan lol
If you can't cover any other cost of doing business, it's "aw shucks that's unfortunate, this is why most businesses go under, better luck next time." But if you can't cover payroll it's supposed to be different?
Yup, cut the woe is me shit. All your employees are hopefully just going to fo somewhere that didn't do all of that.
If you can't figure out how to run a business if you are actually required to pay your employees you shouldn't have a business.
Bussiness man: i deserve profit because i take risks!
Same dude: i should be completely sheltered from any consequences of the risks i take
Im still processing this. California is a corporatized hell scape. And when large companies can write laws that give them the advantage they will. Creating sudden up front costs is a way larger companies can edge out smaller competitors.
Fair enough. But California is a large place with diverse economic situations. And Id hate for every restaurant to be McDonald's. so i guess my concern will come out in the wash. we'll see if this creates a greater monopoly eventually. Also im a small business owner.
diversity is when more borger places and the more borger places the more diverser it is
pay a living wage or sell to someone who can. ideally the state.
Right. I think you're missing my point. Unfortunately we dont live under socialism.
agitating for better workers' comp is how we get there. protecting smol bean business owner profits solves nothing.
But is that what we're doing? Having business owner foot the bill for workers comp is more of the same. We do that already and the actual solution is to have the state perform that function. This solution just cuts out people that cant afford the new regulation. Leaving the large player who can afford it. Furthering wealth disparity.
Really??? Im trying to understand and you're not being persuasive. Saying you dont care about someone losing their income just comes off as cruel.
Should we regulate it so that only McDonald's afford to run a restaurant? Should benefits be based on employment?
You're acting like under our system this is a benevolent outcome and there couldn't be a downside.
The downside: Small business owners can no longer force employees to work for poverty wages
The upside: the poorest workers in California get a living wage
Why should we care about a few small business owners who can't afford to not exploit their employees? And why should they be prioritized over the workers?
the business owner can get a job just like his workers. ensuring a capitalist can remain a capitalist is not high on my list of priorities.
Are you questioning the wholesomeness of having his kids listed as the owners of several of his restaurants to reduce his tax liability?
Boater kulak uses family as rhetorical human shields against struggling employees who also have families, many such cases!
The absurd anti labor practice, the name of the restaurant, and picture of the boomer cracker owner complete with boomer shades makes this look like a parody.
I mean, the United States has been a farce since its beginning
This is just the inevitable result
That absurdity your witnessing is all real. And that is the essence of BugerPunk
Couldn't even get him to show up to the actual business to take a picture for the newspaper
raising menu prices, reducing staff, and making the staff angry at the business will surely be a good long-term play for the business!
The business goes under because no one wants to eat there because it's overpriced and understaffed. This guy is going to blame the minimum wage increase.
BIG GOVERNMENT drove me out of business and oh NOBODY WANTS TO WORK (15-25 hours a week with 100% availability)
I'm a small business owner, and I'm preparing for the new $20 minimum wage by smashing my dick with this hammer
by smashing my employees' dicks with this hammer
Followed shortly by
nobody wants to get their dicks smashed anymore
Dick Smashing hours were cut, gotta help pull weight around here
Wild; I look at that cracker and all I hear in the back of my head is 'kill the boer'
i swear these guys all look the same. it's like reality is doing generative AI but for boomer petty bourgeoisie
maybe natural selection will give them all an 11th finger so they'll be easier to identify in the post-revolution exodus
Of course he uses a picture of himself in front of an in-ground pool
Gotta remind everyone what he stands to lose if he's forced to pay people what they actually earn
So things would run smoother without your petty bourgeois ass in the way? Hmmm good to know thank you sir
“Small business tyrant” is my favorite phrase I’ve added to my lexicon from this place. It’s caught on with some of my friends too lmao
Oh man, if we didn’t raise minimum wage fast food would be so much cheaper. Thats why where the minimum wage is still $7.25 a Big Mac still costs $4.77.
Wait, a Big Mac doesn’t still cost $4.77? Oh shit oh fuck.
A Fatburger operator told Business Insider how the pay hike was impacting his family-owned stores
- Fatburger. This name is the essence of burgerpunk. If you made it up as a joke it would be too over the top.
- Small business tyrant pissing and moaning over having to treat employees with a minimum of decency.
- Family-owned. We're supposed to think some poor old grandma is feeling really sad about this
- Stores. Plural. This guy owns several stores but somehow he's the victim who's being squeezed
This sentence is one of the most profoundly American things I have ever read.
If your business doesn't have the finances to pay a decent wage, maybe you should have run it better
