      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"
