@dwarrilow2002 @thestarcreator @OrevaZSN Corporations aren’t real people and retailers don’t have emotions. If Tim Horton’s has a poor buying strategy that’s a problem for them, not the fault of their employees
English

It is late, and I wrote a pretty snarky reply.
AI gave this analysis: Yes, it’s a bit snarky. But whether that’s a bad thing depends on what you’re trying to achieve with that reply.
I'll try to do better.
Fairness is a tricky equation. A fair wage works both ways. A person needs to earn enough to live, but also enough to pay for themselves.
Take, for example, a small Tim Hortons cup of coffee.
Its price is $2.00
The cost of the coffee and the overhead is $1.70.
This allows for $0.30 for the employee's salary.
In addition to the Base Minimum wage, there is vacation pay and employer contributions (in Ontario, Canada), giving the "real" minimum wage of $19.15 (the base is $17.60).
The worker would need to sell 64 cups of coffee per hour to earn his "real" wage.
To compound the problem, the living wage in my area is $24.60 per hour. The "Real" Living wage would need to be $28.29/hr.
To pay for a wage increase to reach a living wage, the price of coffee would need to increase to $2.14.
There is something called the Elasticity coefficient that determines the demand response to price changes in the price of coffee (0.3). The number of cups sold would drop from 64 to 62.
Instead of earning $28.29 for himself, $1.01 per hour would not be covered by sales.
This is where "unfairness" steps in. Earning a living wage would be fair, but the demand for the product isn't sufficient to support it. It isn't an arbitrary choice by employers.
Sometimes it is what it is.

@HairballFrenzy @OrevaZSN I haven't talked to enough Billionaires to confirm that.
English

@dwarrilow2002 @BlackStar780 @FRzldapls @OrevaZSN Because at any given moment the economy only has so much money in it. If that money is concentrated with the same people who determine housing costs, they tend to increase rents to increase profits. Their actions CREATE a lack of affordability.
English

@BlackStar780 @FRzldapls @OrevaZSN Thank you for your insight.
You are right, drugs and bad choices are symptoms. Even lack of affordability is a symptom.
Go one layer deeper. Why is affordability missing?
English

@dwarrilow2002 @elkathinka @nfmosphotos @OrevaZSN If everyone is a producer nobody is a consumer. Why don’t you people understand the concept of balance or equilibrium????
English

@elkathinka @nfmosphotos @OrevaZSN I agree with you, but those have to do with a job (Just Over Broke).

@dwarrilow2002 @AnnePawleySC @glitcherverse @OrevaZSN So you were supporting a bunch of stuff you know nothing ab???
English

Thank you for having me investigate this. It was new to me.
Elon doesn't have an income. He borrows money from the bank. It is a strategy that is new to me - "Buy, Borrow, Die".
He borrows money from the bank to pay for his expenses.
He repays the loans and interest by borrowing more.
When he dies, his estate will sell stocks to repay the final debt.
English

@dwarrilow2002 @Greenback1177 @OrevaZSN @grok That is incorrect. That’s more like a stock dividend. That money is not generated via taxes, but through oil and gas sales on their land.
English

@Greenback1177 @OrevaZSN You Muricans have something similar to a UBI.
@grok: Describe the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD).
English

@dwarrilow2002 @Phoneeeeeeee3e @OrevaZSN Yeah that’s not a valid comparison. Depression v. Non-Depression.
English

@Phoneeeeeeee3e @OrevaZSN During the depression, my uncle was paid $0.25 per month plus room and board. To him, a million dollars was as incomprehensible as a billion dollars is to us.
English

@dwarrilow2002 @Phoneeeeeeee3e @OrevaZSN This isn’t novel. That’s how everything was before Republicans decided services aren’t necessary and people shouldn’t want them.
Also, we put people on the moon without billionaires before.
English

A UBI is not an income replacement. It raises the floor of what everyone starts with. Earlier, I plotted out a UBI for a random community and posted it on X. The project would follow the Norwegian model, which pays for services rather than disbursing cash.
In this case, households in the community have roughly $100 water bills each month. The goal would be to pay for the water, allowing families to spend elsewhere.
The reality is that Elon Musk earns $100 in about 0.03 seconds. Even the average US worker's monthly salary takes less than 2 seconds.
Please consider that without billionaires, we wouldn't be putting people on the moon.
There is a reason that this passage exists:
"You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s."
Doing so will drive you crazy.

@dwarrilow2002 @YardKat777 @micckaylaa @OrevaZSN 🤦🏾♂️ the only time govt doesn’t put restrictions on money is when conservatives are trying to grift
English

@YardKat777 @micckaylaa @OrevaZSN Ration coupons forced you to buy specific items. Cash doesn't usually have stipulations.
English

@OrevaZSN That’s been the goal. If they can collapse it, they think they’ll be able to buy up the scraps and rebuild in the conservative way they want.

@AdrienCodes @shiroflcl @DarylMorty @_6signxxx They were often called, what translates to, “third gender.” Same-sex relationships weren’t taboo, they just existed. Those men and women were still expected to fulfill their culturally established, gender-based roles regardless.
Kinda wild that you regressed since the Mayans 2/2
English

@AdrienCodes @shiroflcl @DarylMorty @_6signxxx And throughout histories that last fact has been perfectly okay. Within various cultures same sex people and those we now call trans people existed, thrived, participated throughout their societies. In some cultures trans people were considered spiritually connected. (1/2)
