Here's an alternative to the min wage

ban it, let employers pay whatever the fuck they want

hire an employee, let them work for one month for free, evaluate them, if you feel they are worth 7.25 an hour, keep them and up their pay

if they aren't, fire them

it's a better idea than paying them outright

it will encourage people to bust their ass constantly, i want to see 12-15hr shifts at mcdonalds if these fucks want 15 an hour

Thank you. Nobody ever makes this point and it's the point I've been making for years.

>how will they survive for a month for free!

pay ahead fuckheads

get a savings account

your average unemployed person has atleast 300 in his or her savings account (if they are smart)

bump

i'm dead serious

if you really really really want a 15 buck an hour wage

be prepared to work 12-15hr shifts, because that's only fair

if you only work 38-40 a week, you dont deserve above whatever your state has for the min wage

(In nebraska it's 9 an hour)

really employers shouldnt pay anyone, you are just there to make sure they make money

so bust your fucking ass

>downtime in restaraunt
grab a mop bucket and clean the floors then, clean the bathrooms, wipe down the soda machine, sanitize the tables

i work in a REAL restaraunt and i only make 4 an hour, you dont see me bitching

Good luck. Leftist genuinely think if we do away with minimum wage that engineers will start making $4 an hour

>let them work for one month for free
easy to say for a lazy fuck that lives off of daddy's money

if you think affirmative action is bad now then just wait until hr can de facto fire you for being a white male by paying 0.63 an hour

Tell me more how us goyim should slave away for pittance, Goldberg.

This is why you're a shitposter on Sup Forums and not someone that can write government policies.

>one month for free

So if I just got fired in this ancap paradise I better hope I have enough rent for one month AND that my boss doesn't fuck me over for free labor.

Thanks Trump!

shut the fuck up, argentina

Actually banning minimum wage would increase wages as people in the private sector would flock to unions to keep their wages higher. Thus unions obtain bigger constituencies and thus more power over employers.

Wow, your bait really rustled my jimmies.

I still think that banning the min wage would be a good idea

Damn that s the stupidest things i have never heard.

There will Always be one guy who will be OK to work for shit because children, crédits, or immigration .

There is no invisible hand liberal idiot

3% of the workforce make min wage

LITERALLY RETARDS AND CHILDREN

who cares

>hope your company doesnt make anything that people have to buy, since a large majority will now not have any expendable income or purchasing power.

>middle class diminishes.
>if an economy hjust becomes a poor class making luxury goods for a ridiculuse upper class, 9/10 they just stop working and instead will illegally occupy good land.

>work a month for free
That's called slavery

I can't figure out why'd Id give you a month of my time for free to earn you money.

Employees make the company tenfold what they are being paid.

Its not a privilege to work for you
Its not a privilege to make you money


Fuck off low life

Yeah, because that's totally going to work.

Employers would pay you in rocks if they had the chance to.

Banning the min wage, would give them the chance to do so.

Just say you want legal slavery.

This doesn't actually work. Minimum wage and ways of paying for human resources is calculated by design. They want to pay you as little as they can without you leaving but not so much that you can explore other options besides their capital interests. There are a lot of good ideas our there and they aren't interested for very specific reasons: to take in as much revenue as possible while paying out as little as possible. In practice it doesn't always work out that way but the existing system is reliable in the long run. The well-being of their employees is never a concern except when defined by law and laws can be changed.

Well kiked

Bills(most of you underage neets dont know what this is) wont wait until you get your pay two months later after a big IF.

Job hunting aint gonna get any easier for ordinary humans. The numbers aint gonna get any lower, quite the opposite, automation is unstoppable.

We're gonna reach a breaking point where people will gonna have to let money go and we'll have huge chunks of populations on some kind of wellfare. Its the endgame of every 1st world country minus the socialist mumbo jumbo, which ditches the machines and go straight to the top and fail miserably.

Machines take care of everything and you'll get free access to everything

And a much higher percentage works for 10 cents more which is virtually the same and a percentage works for less (paid in tips). Most people especially today are underpaid, that is obvious to people in the workforce for years. Salaries have decreased over the years even with inflation. That was the target effect of globalization and why there is a populist uprising against it today

>paid in tips

and why is that a problem?

the employer has to match your earning to the min wage so you're making 9 bucks an hour either way

say you earned 500 bucks in the min wage scale, but you made 350 in tips

so, as a result, if you report the tips (it's company policy to do so in nearly every single employers handbook) then your check will only be 150

the shitlibs who bitch about this are the ones who spent their tip money on day one,

>the ones who don't report their tips

they have to or they can face a write-up or termination

>Bills(most of you underage neets dont know what this is) wont wait until you get your pay two months later after a big IF

yeah they will

just tell them

"i dont have the money this month" and they will put it on your next bill

>please snowball my ass to oblivion

Pfft.

i've gone 4 months without a phone before, and 1 month without internet, had to make my calls from a coffee shop down the road using a 7 year old laptop and skype

you make sacrifices

when it comes down to keeping gas in my old truck (1994 Dodge Ram) vs having internet, i'm going to pick the truck

>Flood country with immigrants
>Wages drop to $0.50/hour.

Nice.

t. kid that's never worked

>sell it for a better one

the truck is only worth 800 bucks and I don't have the energy to hunt for a little NPR-mobile (newer cars)

You so clearly have never held a real job OP

if you're smart with your money you can live somewhat decently off the minimum wage

>cell phone
any pre-paid plan, you don't fucking need unlimited data if you're going to be using public wifi a lot

>housing
cheap studio apartments

>entertainment
most companies charge 30 a month or less for high speed internet service, and Netflix is only 10 a month, and there's a new thing called Sling TV which gives you Live TV for less than 30 bucks a month

>clothing
Goodwill and any other thrift stores

>keeping said clothing clean
laundromat, stop being this stupid

>medical
get a catastrophic plan, if you legit have a medical condition that requires you to have constant doctors visits, see about getting dissability payments

>food
budget it in, buy fresh ingredients from farmers markets, buy cookbooks designed for people on low income


i had to do this life for 5 fucking years and i survived just fine

was working for Walmart, McDonalds, and a grocery store at the same time and combined i pulled over 65 hours a week from all three jobs

you can survive, you just have to push yourself

How about we lower the cost of living instead? So far everyone has tried to fuck around with wages to solve things but nobody ever tries to come at it from the other end

Won't people just start stealing if working jobs doesn't provide you with any sort of wage? This is the fucking dumbest thing I've ever heard.
