    like also if the american army existence was not morally wrong you could JUST RAISE THEIR WAGES TOO LIKE YOU CAN JUST PAY THEM MORE ALL THESE PROBLEMS ABOUT WAGES BEING TO LOW IF YOU RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE CAN BE SOLVED BY JUST RAISING THEIR WAGES YOU COULD DO ALL WAGES RELATIVE TO THE MINIMUM WAGE AND EVERY TIME IT GOES UP, IT GOES UP FOR EVERYBODY

        i just never got to see the american wage discussion like i am this time and it just frustrates me to no end, americans seem unable to understand that you could just raise the wages, like the brazilian minimum wage when lula was the president would raise every year above the inflation margin it just works it means there is more money on the market so people waste more money and that is good for the economy

          There’s something deeply broken in the American psyche when underpaid people see other underpaid people might get paid more and get mad at that, instead of getting mad at the people who are underpaying them.

            i saw a dude that works at an amazon warehouse saying that working fast food is unskilled labor and they should not get to receive the same wage as he receives AND I AM JUST IN AWE OF HOW HE COULD JUST SAY THAT WITHOUT THINKING "wait a second, a lot of people would probably argue the same about my job"
