I think it's $7.49 or something like that here in Tejas. That's plenty enough for menial workers, if not too much. We should do away with the min wage and let the market set the price.
Freedom and all that, /scoff. -

But everything in Toronto is overpriced. That's putting on a "sale" for cakes at $10 off, just after raising the base price $10. It's not really a relevant base to start from, when you start with a premise of extortion and thievery. -

Labor is the largest percentage of any companies operating costs. When the government forces that cost to rise a business has only one of three ways to go. They can raise prices to maintain a fair level of profit, they can cut hours by using some form of automation, or they can go out of business. -

Not when you are ALREADY making a killing even before the the rise in costs. It's called greed. None of these filthy shitbags are ever willing to settle for a great profit. They ALWAYS want more. They are NEVER satisfied with simply making good money and making do with what they have and taking the hit like everyone else, it ALWAYS has to be more, or else it's the extortion and thievery to get it one way or the other. Don't be fooled by these bedtime stories, cooked up by the very thieves who are robbing you and I blind. They put out these "sensible" myths just so they can keep on fleecing the public to line their tax-free, off-shore bank accounts, not to mention hoarding up on their multi-billion-dollar corporate welfare handouts. Fuck them, and fuck the horse they rode in on. -

Lmao ideal labor cost is 25%-33%. Why are you so fucking stupid? -
2019-07-29 at 5:20 PM UTCDid you know that EVERY major corporation has a business model that has written into it a requirement that profits MUST rise by such and such amount, or people's heads roll? The entire premise of the business model is based on a dramatic increase in profits, never based on a reasonable increase in profits. You would never see a single major corporation with a business model that stipulates a base reasonable satisfaction with some specified level of profit. For example, if the rise in operating costs are a steady 5%, you would never see a corporate business model with a requirement for a 5% increase in profits, it would ALWAYS have to be at least double that, or even three or five times that amount. Just goes to show exactly what we are dealing with here: a mindless monster who's only plan is more, more, more, and then even more. It's built right into the business model that satisfaction doesn't even equate into the model.

Do you have some profit and loss statements from local establishments that documents this greed. Because they are the ones who will be put out of business by government forced minimum wage increases not the rat fucks who bank off shore and are driving the wage hike agenda to crush local competition. -

Pftt.. they're not driving the wage hike to corner the market. If they were, they wouldn't be installing self-checkouts like mad and eliminating employees in the process, and they wouldn't be building automation like mad, they would just be gleefully paying out the increased wages. Truth is, they hate the minimum wage with a passion, because they're so greedy they would rather have those increases in their own pockets than be pained to pay a fair living wage. -

Dude, wake the fuck up. Do you think local business can afford automation? The rat fucks drive up minimum wage and kill several birds with one stone. Since they developed the automation they can "afford" it. They create more poverty in the west by replacing minimum wage workers with systems while simultaneously driving local competition out of business. Which creates even more poverty in the west. Western poverty is the key to their plan for one world government. -
2019-07-29 at 5:45 PM UTCIf I was King, I would BAN all corporations from operating. If you don't run a small business and operate locally, you can just get the fuck out of the country, and take your corporate bullshit with you. Way too many profiteering middlemen. Way too many crony capitalists. Way too many corporate welfare handouts. The whole thing has gotten to the point it's a joke. Corporations have now hijacked our governments, the militaries, the schools, the hospitals, entertainment, church, society, everywhere you look there's a cabal of filthy and highly organized thieves controlling it. They're nothing but a festering cancer on the skin of this world. Nameless stockholders and nameless boards running our cities, our culture, our politics, our opinions, our towns and our countries, programming our kids, buying up anything they want with bribes and dirty money and favors, funneling off all their ill-gotten gains overseas to their lawless hidey-holes. Buying up our politicians, buying up our judges, buying our police, buying up our youth. Fuck corporations. Ban the shitbags, or else they will come to the brink of destroying this planet and everyone on it, including themselves, mark my words. They are terrorist organizations on a massive, global scale, and they should be dealt with accordingly.

The main problems with corporations is that they have been given the same legal status and rights as a human entity. We can thank Abraham Lincoln for letting that cat out of the bag. But I do agree with the idea that corporations as they are operating is a real threat.
Banning them wouldn't work in modern society. If all business were small and locally operated how would you get from London to New York? How would the internet work? How would any from of long distance communication function. Or do you propose we go back to a pre-industrial agricultural society? -

Local businesses would simply network for continuity. For example, if you were making a call overseas, the local phone company there would connect with the local phone company here to make the connection for the customer. So they can network, but they would be banned from becoming a single entity. Corporations are a clear and ongoing threat to the national security of the entire planet, and should be outlawed once and for all. No excuses. -

Now define local. In New York City local would be one thing. In a place like Winnett, Montana it would be a whole different deal. What about electric service in Winnett, Montana. Would they be required to produce it themselves or would they be free to buy it non locally from a non local business? How many Sq miles are in a local? -

If your local area can't run it, then that local area probably doesn't need it. Simple. This situation would push people to get their act together. If your local area doesn't have a phone company, for whatever reason, then that local area doesn't need phones, apparently. All well and good. Sure, we could look at the entire city of New York as a local area. It doesn't matter how big the local area is. We're talking communities, not size. If the local community is good at something, then that's what they can bring to the table. If it's something they don't have or some goods or services they can't produce, then they can collaborate, but they can never be permitted to operate under a single identity of both, or more, communities.
