Without IRS

@TheDadward @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz I hear ya! However; I only hear ya complaining. How about offering details of a better system?

@NotYerSlave @ALAuchter @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz It’s a terrible system

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour. A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29. Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

@necros111 @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz You have not pointed out unambiguitues in my statement. Work and earn. Earn=deserve ( equitablly measured commensurate to work product). Don't work and I fire you after an attempt or two to correct insufficient work product.

@NotYerSlave @ALAuchter @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Just because you label something unambiguous doesn't make it so. Respond to the critique of your answer.

@corasundae @dangitman50 @pascals2018 @RealJoeDee1 @MetamateDaz Hilarious. Keep on imagining.

@dangitman50 @NotYerSlave @pascals2018 @RealJoeDee1 @MetamateDaz Imagine thinking you as a civilized human with your human intelligence shouldn't be more intelligent and empathetic than a wild wolf.

Minimum Wage is defined by law. The legislatively expressed standard for the Minimum Wage is not expressed as a metric relative to a thing some refer to as a "Living Wage". That is a concept in the minds of some which is not a standard upon which Minimum Wage law is based. As regards Minimum Wage legislation, the concept of Living Wage is not contemplated. The good news is, you can become a legislator and work to impose your ideas. Until then, they are without effect.

@NotYerSlave @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Why are you arguing that because some workers are bad that justifies the minimum wage not being a living wage for all workers? If they do their job properly, they deserve to be paid properly, no matter what the job is.

@TheDadward @ALAuchter @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Everything item and every service you buy is work product. Buy diseased.

@NotYerSlave @ALAuchter @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz “The work product”… Man, I’m learning that capitalism is a diseased mindset

@MortisEnjoyer @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Every individual is free to exercise their influence within the limits of the law. That right is also inherent in the billionaires you complain about.

@NotYerSlave @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Billionaires don't contribute shit to society. They're only billionaires because they exploited the fuck out of people. They didn't earn their money ethically. They absolutely can afford to pay their workers living wages and still make huge profits but their greed knows no bounds

@necros111 @ALAuchter @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Just that you label something as "suspicious does not make it so. My statement is unbiguous.

@NotYerSlave @ALAuchter @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Suspicious answer for a capitalist. Most can't even create a semblance of logic. But here is what the cold logic of a.i. found wrong chat.deepseek.com/share/8ci50deg…

@MortisEnjoyer @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Billionaires have nothing to do with whom I hire and what I pay them.

@NotYerSlave @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Billionaires are literally the entire reason minimum wages aren't living wages. They're the ones lobbying government officials to keep the minimum wages low so they can buy more yachts. The minimum wage hasn't gone up in 17 years

@dangitman50 @MortisEnjoyer @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @MetamateDaz Sure, you're qualified to judge me. Your judgment is meaningless to me.

@MortisEnjoyer @NotYerSlave @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @MetamateDaz No, that's just not the case. You're just too stupid to understand what's going on around you.

@GinaSaysSo Random ? Stupidity on full display. Even jurors are subjected to qualification scrutiny. Random selection denies right to vote. Shove it!

SAVE America Act-Part 2 Get rid of Congress! Can't be done, say you? Stop standing in your own line of vision. Replace with randomly selected registered voters (think jury duty) asked to serve their country for a 4 year term. Citizens representing citizens.

Do you consider your words before committing them to writing? 1. Nobody lives under a rock. 2. Nobody lives for "2 centuries" 3. Everyone knows slavery is outlawed 4. I have stated all along that payment earned is payment owed, that is the measure AND LIMIT of that which is "deserved" 5. You newly raise the proper working conditions issue and, yes, employers who are subject to laws addressing that are obliged to comply. 6. I applaud that you have come to your senses and agree with what I have written throughout this thread. You deserve just that recognition.

@NotYerSlave @bellastrega999 @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz I don't know if you've been living under a rock for 2 centuries but slavery was banned in the 1800s. You do OWE people a certain amount of money (at minimum) for their labor. You also OWE your employees proper working conditions if you're an employer

Maybe he had the mental acumen of a 10 year old and respected her in every metric. OP offers no details about the subject marriage otger than the particular characteristics chosen AS IF in support of her determination. That is why the result, the performance history of the subject marriage, matters. That ten year olds should be permitted to marry, I say, "no".

@mackenzelover @NotYerSlave @ma1ybe @Zoya_ki_batein Yes, of course.

feminism is quite literally the best thing that has ever happened to our species

I need no such thing. Your presumption is obnoxious. Certainly nobody needs to adopt your nonsense mindset if they expect to profit from business pursuit. I buy and sell the product of people's labors. Those who fail to perform to the standards mutually agreed to on a continuing basis get the axe, just like fruit trees which fail to perform in an orchard. Billionaires are wealthy because they provide something to society for which society pays them in return. Get off your ass and earn.

@NotYerSlave @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz You need to realize just how valuable that labor you don't value is. And the only reason this labor isn't valued in the US is because billionaires conditioned you to perceive it this way. Any job is worth a living wage

Clearly you are an economics genius. I exist; so when will you send me payment for having achieved that? One does not work to exist. That is proven by the fact that many people who do exits do not work. Not one employer is obligated to give anything to a person who fails to perform and meet employment terms agreed upon. Nothing is deserved lest it is EARNED. You were given existence without earning it or deserving it, all else must be earned. You plainly exhibit abject ignorance of the word "deserve". I suspect you are a stranger to dictionaries. Do better. Deserve further human interaction.

@NotYerSlave @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Actually they do deserve their basic needs met even just by existing. Otherwise by this logic, why don't we just kill all old or disabled people? Having to work to deserve surviving is a slave mindset

Utter horseshit. Your generalizatiin about what people "deserve" is baseless. If that is your belief, then you shoukd cough up the funds, put your money on the line and prove out your philosophy. You pay the worker who damages goods, breaks equipment, crashes trucks, acts contrary to directives and insults / assaults coworkers and customers. Everybody deserves to be paid what they agreed to be paid and only when they reciprocally provide the measure of suitable work product they agreed to produce. Absent those objectives being met, they are of no value fir achieving the needed goal and deserve nothing. The topic is of a business nature. Business is not a financial support system for those who fail to meet business objectives. Everyone deserves only what they have EARNED within the performance terms agreed to. If they do not like the way they are treated, they can leave.

@NotYerSlave @Goldenpath89 @TheOneFarAbove @Azurakano @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Every labor deserves to be paid a living wage. Society functions on the backs of minimum wage workers. Without them, you wouldn't even have food on the supermarket shelves. Stores wouldn't be running in the first place without warehouse workers and cashiers

The topic reflects on the value of an hour of someone's time relative to remuneration. Within that context, if their work product's market value is not excess of the value of what they are paid, they are not of value for the purpose of meeting the goal for which they were hired. The proof is in the math. If you seek to address the value of a human being outside of the topic metric, you are off base.

@NotYerSlave @ALAuchter @dangitman50 @MetamateDaz Prove that the statement "some people are simply not worth much" is true.

@CommonishGround @softlads And wallpaper the targeted lid with the notices to stop a knife from penetrsting. Paper armor is not going to work.

Have a lawyer draft a notice to named members of the school board laying out the situation so far, and stating that, as the board have now been notified of the situation, any violence towards a child from that person will be considered a deliberate and conscious criminal breach of care by them INDIVIDUALLY.

What is happening to this bloody country!!! My daughter has been informed by school that her TWELVE year old daughter (my granddaughter) has been found on a 'stab list'. So the son of recent African immigrants, who has only been here maybe a year and has been caught at least twice with a knife at school, has now created a list of girls he intends to stab for shunning his advances. He is STILL in school. This madness has to end. Either the establishment are on the side of good people or good people will take things into their own hands. She's 12yo for gods sake and has to now walk around school with the threat of being stabbed at any moment.

@SleeperDana @covie_93 What do you see covie writing relative to race?

@covie_93 Great job ice thank you for protecting and serving our people at our airports when TSA members are not present! Somebody has to be there! And by the way covie, no race baiting allowed in America

TSA agents do not carry firearms so why are ICE agents who are 'helping TSA' heavily armed???

@covie_93 Because ICE is not TSA. They really should print something on the uniforms to end the confusion.

@DavidJHarrisJr Like the places they came from where previously not feeling safe? Nobody is obligated to contribute to make another feel anything. Feel elsewhere. Do you need buy a one way ticket?

London Mayor Sadiq Khan says that Muslims in the UK are scared and don’t feel safe!
