they are ALL working for Antifa/BLM. Training Time. Don't you know of the upcoming revolution in which they will all try to kill the rest of us. They don't need the jobs they had as they are being paid real money to get rid of the rest of us. If you think I'm kidding, just wait another two weeks; it coming and get ready.

Re: My Local Walmart, Arby's, Wendy's, Subway all Closed: No Staff!
I know finance and economics are hard for most of you, but....

When CEO pay is on average 350 times higher than the workers, salaries haven't increased on average for anyone making less than 1 million in 10-15 years, and minimum wage hasn't significantly raised in percentage since 1991, the wealth gap and concentration only has one place to go. To the top!

CEO pay since 1991 has gained 514%
Average worked pay since 1991 has gained 58%

At $15 an hour minimum wage, that would put the lowest economic sector at 78% gain in wage mandatory since 1991.

I'm sure this is within your grasps to understand.

A 514% gain in CEO wages with a 58% gain in wages to the first frontline workers is absolutely pathetic. The fact that you all defend this tells us all we need to know about why they keep concentrating more cash in CEO hands and why you all still live in shacks.

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
 Quoting: ExodusRa


Are private businesses required to do that by the government (or do they get incentives, grants, etc.)or is it just one of those sick new things Whites have chosen to do in majority?

That is awesome that they close. Stop eating corporate process food. Try eating a home cook meal or from a small business restaurant since they tend to pay their employees a livable wage.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78145330


This is the problem you don't get the bigger picture. The whole living wage argument is a bunch of idiots that don't understand economics. It doesn't matter what you get paid per hour! All of this free money is printed out of thin air and makes the money less valuable. You idiots are fighting for the wrong things. You should have been fighting against government spending that can't be backed by real money! So say you make 50 dollars an hour starting tomorrow but a month from now a loaf of bread costs you 30 dollars, well are you making a living wage now? Back in the early 90's when I was making 14 dollars an hour I was able to afford a house and support my stay at home wife and 2 kids. I can't do that now at over 30 dollars an hour! Anyone under 30 should really educate themselves on how the economy works because you all are wasting your time fighting for something that won't help you at all and perhaps get it through your thick skulls that nothing in life is free and the gubbermint doesn't have any money other than yours!

That's because all the illegal labor went back home.
Who can work for $15 an hour when beef is almost $70 a pound. The real going rate is closer to $25 an hour to flip burgers. The USD has lost half it's value since March of last year.

All the businesses in my area, even Walmart are having rolling closures due to staff not coming to work or not being able to find employees.

Some of the restaurants are having to close on the weekends because they dont have workers.

I have never seen this before. And, it isnt like it is something that gradually started to happen. It started happening all at once.

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


Ya but what about me? I go from making $5 over minimum wage to fucking $2 over minimum wage? I earned my pay raises from $11 when minimum wage was $10.50 and got up to $17 but you whiny fucks are going to increase the cost of living and fuck everybody up. Get trained in something and get a better job! Do you really want to work minimum wage the rest of your life?

They get special treatment under the guise of "inclusion". Soon I will be able to claim minority status lmao. These middle Easterners and Africans breed like rabbits.

Employment equity, as defined in federal Canadian law by the Employment Equity Act (French: Loi sur l’équité en matière d’emploi), requires federal jurisdiction employers to engage in proactive employment practices to increase the representation of four designated groups: women, people with disabilities, Aboriginal peoples, and visible minorities.[1] The act states that "employment equity means more than treating persons the same way but also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences".[2]

The act requires that employers remove barriers to employment that disadvantage members of the four designated groups. The term reasonable accommodation is often used for the removal of such barriers to employment. Examples of employment barriers are wheelchair inaccessible buildings, or recruitment through word-of-mouth only. Employers are also required to institute positive policies for the hiring, training, retention, and promotion of members of the designated groups. Examples of positive policies include recruitment in Aboriginal communities, job advertisements in minority-language newspapers, or an apprentice program directed toward people with disabilities.

Just hired 4 people at work. Directive from head office in the US - NO WHITIES, we were supposed to focus on hiring blacks, but none applied, probably because it's an industry that doesn't attract many black people. We got 250 applications from white people several of them with passion and experience in the industry, 20 hispanics, 20 asians and a girl from Russia. The only people I saw as qualified were some of the white people including the Russian girl and one of the hispanics, but we ended up hiring 2 hispanics, 1 asian and we hired one of the white people (we expect to get berated over this from up the chain of command). I don't think they get diversity kick backs from the Canadian government, but word on the street is that they do get a kick back in the US for every diversity hire.

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
 Quoting: ExodusRa


Are private businesses required to do that by the government (or do they get incentives, grants, etc.)or is it just one of those sick new things Whites have chosen to do in majority?

Just hired 4 people at work. Directive from head office in the US - NO WHITIES, we were supposed to focus on hiring blacks, but none applied, probably because it's an industry that doesn't attract many black people. We got 250 applications from white people several of them with passion and experience in the industry, 20 hispanics, 20 asians and a girl from Russia. The only people I saw as qualified were some of the white people including the Russian girl and one of the hispanics, but we ended up hiring 2 hispanics, 1 asian and we hired one of the white people (we expect to get berated over this from up the chain of command). I don't think they get diversity kick backs from the Canadian government, but word on the street is that they do get a kick back in the US for every diversity hire.

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.

Welcome to socialism. This is how it works.

You stay home and collect a government check.

Now all the people who work will have to pay higher taxes to pay for these slugs to stay home.

We warned you all. The bad part is, it gets much worse soon.

You will see.

All the businesses in my area, even Walmart are having rolling closures due to staff not coming to work or not being able to find employees.

Some of the restaurants are having to close on the weekends because they dont have workers.

I have never seen this before. And, it isnt like it is something that gradually started to happen. It started happening all at once.

They get special treatment under the guise of "inclusion". Soon I will be able to claim minority status lmao. These middle Easterners and Africans breed like rabbits.

Employment equity, as defined in federal Canadian law by the Employment Equity Act (French: Loi sur l’équité en matière d’emploi), requires federal jurisdiction employers to engage in proactive employment practices to increase the representation of four designated groups: women, people with disabilities, Aboriginal peoples, and visible minorities.[1] The act states that "employment equity means more than treating persons the same way but also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences".[2]

The act requires that employers remove barriers to employment that disadvantage members of the four designated groups. The term reasonable accommodation is often used for the removal of such barriers to employment. Examples of employment barriers are wheelchair inaccessible buildings, or recruitment through word-of-mouth only. Employers are also required to institute positive policies for the hiring, training, retention, and promotion of members of the designated groups. Examples of positive policies include recruitment in Aboriginal communities, job advertisements in minority-language newspapers, or an apprentice program directed toward people with disabilities.

Except for the disability accessibility requirements, it's kind of vague- but opens employers up for lawsuits, so they have to have things in place to "prove" they are going by the law for that reason. It's stupid.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80064536


I can tell you now that they NEVER care about the disability part and if they see you're disabled they will reject your application. They only cater to blacks and browns...not even Asians. I've yet to see one disabled person in any of my jobs and I've been to almost 75 jobs already lmao
