Just wanna point out that $19/hr isn't shit today given the real inflation rate (probably over 15%), and that these are the only type of jobs that are readily available.
You want a job that actually offers a living wage? Those disappeared right about the same time pensions did.

I suppose the free market has decided a chicken sandwich is more important than health and buildings that are not on fire
-
@Wisconsin_Kraut I know this was meant as a joke, but given the country's decline I'm pretty sure you're right
-
Boomers bitching about rising wages (not rising to match inflation though) always gets me. "$19 an hour to flip burgers! Outrageous! They should be paying an illegal immigrant slave minimum wage for that!"
-
@Floyvid_Ninesneed To the boomercon, it's always 1985
-
@DW2 @Wisconsin_Kraut Imagine how many buildings will be aflame if niggers don't get their chicken
-
@DW2 You definitely don't want these "$19/hr" jobs anways. They will drain your soul and can kill you.
-
@SuperSnekFriend Oh believe me, I know
-
@Wisconsin_Kraut @Smirking Or just round them all up, throw em all in Detroit then douse the city in napalm (would be a classic case of addition by subtraction)
-
@Smirking @DW2
I think we should just pay some justices of the peace to deal with the niggers
-
@DW2 I was paid less than this when I was working as an engineering intern in 2021. Holy crap inflation is out of control!
-
@TadanoHitohito Whaddaya mean goy, haven't you seen the latest numbers? Inflation is goin down!
- some wall street criminal heeb on CNBC probably
-
@DW2 it is over 15% they changed the math to make it around 50% less than the actual number.
-
@DW2 @Smirking
That would actually raise property values in Detroit
-
“You need to get paid $19 an hour to flip burgers?” Isnt the own boomers think it is. Yes stupid boomer your generation shipped in all these migrants while proposing bat shit insane monetary policy.
-
@DW2 Not only are they criminals, they're completely out of touch with what the average American is facing. Tell that shit to my weekly grocery bill lmao.
-
@DW2 $19 in 2022 is allegedly $6.81 in the year Marty McFly began his voyage through time, but I don't believe the fed's inflation numbers. It's a lot worse than that.
-
@Eiregoat @DW2 In the 1980s, waiting tables was enough to afford a safe one bedroom apartment and a car. Hell, you could pay off college by working one summer as a babysitter. It might have well been a completely different time but boomers are perpetually stuck in that headspace
-
> You want a job that actually offers a living wage? Those disappeared right about the same time pensions did.
Waiting tables has always been for shit pay though. It's never been the kind of job you could raise a family on. Even top end waiting jobs aren't great.
> Also the Spanish subtitles are just the cherry on top here
It's kinda fucked how they can all but advertise breaking employee law and nothing happens.
-
@DW2 What does "starting up to" mean? Not actually even $19 per hour?
-
@ItsSkyDragonz @DW2 Means they're going to really pay you 13-16 depending on the location. 18 is only if you know a guy or have decades of experience.
-
@fishsticks @DW2 God I hate this country

@ItsSkyDragonz @fishsticks America Delenda Est

@DW2 Wisconsin still has 7.25 minimum wage and I know people still getting hired for $11-12/hr. I was still under the impression that $15/hr was good when I re-entered the workforce last year, until I examined how bad inflation had actually gotten.
The last job I'd worked before in 2017 for about $13/hr has gone up to about $21/hr in 2023 to try and match inflation. But not every business is capable of this, and most of the long-term employees have already capped out on raises.
Meaning that 18 year old broccolizoomers are earning more day 1 than someone who's committed decades to any particular company.
I, for one, am very confident in America's ability to survive for many years to come.
