I know many who have quit those low pay retail and fast food jobs to work for Amazon (or the likes) delivering packages, or similarly DoorDash and Uber Eats. Can make better money in comparison.

When I was a teen and younger nearly all the stores and businesses closed at 5 pm or earlier during the week days and closed on weekends and even gas stations were closed on Sundays . Many on Saturdays to .

Big deal . It ain't the end of the world .

Mean while,

53 year old white man, having applied for over 250 jobs in the past year, interviewed for over 40, have recieved no offers.

Initially, I looked inward, I must be a shitty interview, I don't have the skills, etc.


In the past month however, I had 2 hiring managers tell me, I would love to bring you on but my diversity team has encouraged me to hold off on bringing on Caucasians.


Previously, worked for myself, 2019 found that contracts were going overseas or to minorities in the US.

At this point, I hope it all burns down.

I am technically retired, but I would love a part time job. But if I have to mask up I am not working. I can't see or breathe wearing a mask. I wonder how many others are in this same position.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80290938


yup

I feel so sorry for people that are forced to wear a mask all day long.

Fucking miserable.

I imagine only people that HAVE to work are doing so under those conditions.

It's been building up to this... maybe a living wage doesn't sound so bad to you guys anymore?

The whole minimum wage sector has burn out. If you don't force the people to pay a living wage... this is what happens.

Tierd of see good people working 2 - 3 jobs to pay for the same nessecities... as the rest of the world... I see them.

I know most of GLP was against the living wage, due to the egoic competitive nature of the insecurity they feel inside... but maybe people will start realizing... $15/hr would get a lot of these people back up on their OWN feet instead of unemployment.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80264879


$15 an hour is not a living wage when the government shut the entire economy down, can and will probably do it again. It's not a living wage when the business owner needs to lay off half of the staff in order to pay the other workers $15 an hour and all your Marxist BS/AOC bullshit is going to lead to the complete automation/robotization of retail and restaurants.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79790939


Good points. And the previous idiotic poster does not understand economic fundamentals in regards to what happens when the chattel class jobs (i.e. low I.Q. acceptable, low job performance not life critical, etc...) raise wages to $15/hour. After a period of "economic sorting", those idiots will still have the same ratio of expenditures as they had making $9/hour. This means everything, from their apartment rental to gas/food/entertainment/clothing will still cost them the same proportionally to what it did at their lower wage.

But retards are going to retard, no matter what knowledge they are given.

Re: My Local Walmart, Arby's, Wendy's, Subway all Closed: No Staff!
Oh, but America is coming back. No it’s not. It’s been dead, and has been for a long time. It’s just now after decades the truth has come light.

You all better wake up.

From the beginning of this nations independence and sovereignty there has been those in high positions and with great power having self fulfilling agendas and augmenting any narrative to fit theirs. You can’t make sense of anything because it goes further back before you were alive, hell, it even predates before your great great grandmother was born.

Government has battered the people. High taxes and regulations on businesses. Food prices have soared. Cost of living has soared. $30/hr @ 40hrs/wk could not allow a man to provide for his wife and two kids while she raises them. Wonder why families are broken and kids are bad? 45 years ago all of America let illegals walk right on in for the sake of cheap labor to build America’s infrastructure up. You reap what you sow. Government owns society and always will. They have a grip on power and it continues to be passed down from one generation to the next in their families.

Trump supporters had the chance of a lifetime back a few months ago, but they pussed out. They didn’t exercise their 2nd amendment right their on captiol hill. That could have changed the course of history but it wasn’t meant to be. There will never be a chance like that again.

Had to quit my job to raise my income enough to keep my nose above water.

house: 200k
Truck: 50k
obamacare: 23k
food: 10k

Then there's taxes, insurance, education, clothing, maintenance, so on and so forth.

People can't keep up so they give up.

Stagflation: prices go up while wages stay the same.

It's worse than people think and getting worse by the minute.

Biden tax plan is a wreaking ball.

Government taking so much money for it's self slows down the economy.

I quit my residential / light commercial repair and remodeling job 2 months ago because of low wages. Started my own repair service. I'm a one man band now making $96 per hour and staying busy. Work less hard, make more money.

Pity the fool working for someone else having to ask for more money. Work for yourself and you don't have to ask.

People I used to work for are crying the blues. Still haven't been able to hire my replacement. They now call me for service. In the span of 60 days I went from $18 with no benefits to $96 per hour. The company wants skilled experienced workers with tools and transportation. Not one person has applied. Now I'm back working for the same company doing the same work for 5 times the pay.

It's their own fault they can't find good people. Even if we wanted to we can't work for peanuts and survive. Have got to go where the money is.

$16 to $18/hour is average in my city here in Canada and we are a majority manufacturing sector dominated. The pay is way too low to get by now. You'd need minimum $25/hour and even then...better if there's a husband and wife couple without kids to try to even get by. Newcomers, Africans and Syrians, get $50 000 a year tax free from Trudeau, but after the first year the payment goes so low for them that they can't afford the rent now and they have left my building already lmao. When I moved in about 7.5 years ago the rent for me was $965 now it starts at $1795 and this doesn't include hydro or rent insurance. Luckily I locked it in so I'm only paying $1100 as of June next month but still manageable.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80264879


*sigh* for the 5 billionth time: IT. DOESN’T. WORK!

You raise wages or give free money and you create generalized inflation. Especially in the rental communities. People can no longer afford to have minimally livable lifestyle at $15 an hour or even with their monthly “living wage.” Rent, food and fuel all spike first. Moreover, 15 an hour businesses end up cutting staff and raising customer prices, which drives down demand and will cause some weaker (mom and pop) stores to close. So you destroy small business, while the big corporations shrug and pay the new minimum wage and cut only a smaller amount of employees from their staff.

You have just created a huge fuckin mess. But it gets worst: people who are already making $15 an hour as skilled labor will now need to earn more to survive. They will request a higher salary or have to leave their jobs and get rehired somewhere else for a higher salary. This shit goes all the way up the chain. Suddenly mid tier employees are no longer mid tier and want higher salaries, same for high tier. The only people NOT affected, as usual, are the executives.

This is why we are against raising a minimum wage a huge amount suddenly. It creates chaos, job loss, restructuring, business closures, increased prices on goods and generalized inflation all around. In the end, you find yourself right where you started before. Suddenly $15 an hour isn’t a livable wage again because of inflation and high rent demands. You fucked everything up for everyone for a few years and fuckin fixed NOTHING.

minimum wage, no matter what the hourly value is set at, is meant to be an intro wage for people to make money. It requires no learned skills, and is usually extremely repetitive in nature. It is meant as a temporary income while you get schooling in an advanced skill that is in demand. You then climb the ladder to the next income tier when you finish schooling and get a job in your field. As you get better at using that skill and learn supplementary skills you will be promoted and earn even more money. At some point you will be promoted into management where you will manage other people as they work in your skill area. Instruct them, lead them, teach them new supplementary skills you picked up along the way and make sure the work quality is at your level. You earn GREAT money for this and you are in demand due to your skill set.

This is how it works. Everyone benefits if they try hard and work hard. Sitting at minimum wage and crying and complaining that it is not a livable salary tells me just one thing: you are lazy and want more money for no more effort. You are lazy and make people in society feel sorry for your lazy lifestyle. You need to want more, do more.

Right.

I know some "rules" change once a business has over a certain number of employees or if the employees work a certain number of hours- such as the business has to start paying health insurance, etc.

The company wants skilled experienced workers with tools and transportation. Not one person has applied. Now I'm back working for the same company doing the same work for 5 times the pay.

It's their own fault they can't find good people. Even if we wanted to we can't work for peanuts and survive. Have got to go where the money is.

Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker.

and when they see someone who is not mad,
they will attack him, saying,

As well as Gen-X. I left a 20+ year, high paying career to bug out of society for awhile during all this fuckery.

Mean while,

53 year old white man, having applied for over 250 jobs in the past year, interviewed for over 40, have recieved no offers.

Initially, I looked inward, I must be a shitty interview, I don't have the skills, etc.


In the past month however, I had 2 hiring managers tell me, I would love to bring you on but my diversity team has encouraged me to hold off on bringing on Caucasians.


Previously, worked for myself, 2019 found that contracts were going overseas or to minorities in the US.

At this point, I hope it all burns down.
 Quoting: OU8122


Why do businesses even have such a thing? Is it required by the fed for larger businesses, do businesses get tax breaks for hiring "minorities"? My Dad owns a few small independent businesses and he hires mostly Whites and said he never heard of or looked into getting tax breaks for hiring minorities. He said he just hires who he wants.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80064536


Because of the fake racism. Blacks and browns flood western countries then demand they get better treatment than the whites who created those countries. It's all by design though to divide and conquer people so they keep hating each other. It all stems from Liberal brainwashing.
 Quoting: ExodusRa


Right. I just wondered if businesses do that mega diversity hiring on their own accord or if they get some kind of monetary incentive- or if it was a requirement- of the feds or states they had their business in. I know some "rules" change once a business has over a certain number of employees or if the employees work a certain number of hours- such as the business has to start paying health insurance, etc.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80064536


Here in Canada they get preferential treatment and even on job applications they ask if you're a minority so they can bump your chance of an interview higher. It's funny too since Canada still has a higher white/euro population than the US yet already we bend over backwards to those that do not and will never hold the western values

It's been building up to this... maybe a living wage doesn't sound so bad to you guys anymore?

The whole minimum wage sector has burn out. If you don't force the people to pay a living wage... this is what happens.

Tierd of see good people working 2 - 3 jobs to pay for the same nessecities... as the rest of the world... I see them.

I know most of GLP was against the living wage, due to the egoic competitive nature of the insecurity they feel inside... but maybe people will start realizing... $15/hr would get a lot of these people back up on their OWN feet instead of unemployment.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80264879


Not true, I am in California with minimum wage at $14 per hr. and the problem is very real. No one wants to work because all the government handouts.

I kid you not I know of a woman with 3 kids, not married but with her baby daddy for greater than 13 years, he works. She is getting $3,000 a month in food stamps alone. With COVID it was increased by a $1,000 a month. She can’t spend it all so shops and gives food away. Of course they are all obese.

I am currently in Lake Tahoe, signs everywhere needing employees. I saw one for a $500 sign on bonus for a cook. Another place had a sign that they are now closed 2 days a week because they don’t have staff.

I run two businesses and we have the same problem for jobs ranging from $15.50-$20.00 per hr and we can’t get applicants.

By the way this increased livable wage has made a fast food meal on average go to $14-16. All goods are skyrocketing.

We are being set-up for a serious fall. Think of all the people relying on government, including businesses, for their paycheck. I get e-mails daily from the SBA with offers for business loans. This isn’t going to end well.
