Trickle down economics at work.

They're weak-minded people willing to work for 12+ hours a day and bend over backwards for their boss.

Wage depression from millions of immigrants every year and the systemic eradication of domestic manufacturing

You have to go back.

Just give us UBI already, fuck.

Why do Americans who earn less than $150k a year vote against their own financial interests? Are Americans really such grovelling bootlickers?

No, there's truck drivers with CDLs making $12/h. Which isn't even close to the standard, I just know for a fact there's certain companies that pay their drivers that little.

>h elp
I can think of at least two people that shouldn't be paid $18 per hour.

And if you get out of line and try to defy your boss, you can easily be fired since all employees are disposable. There's no way around it without risking your livelihood.

I love shitting on americans so much. Maybe it's because americans trashtalk the most by far and always act smug.

Actually like

>raises minimum wage to $18 an hour
>my sister working in a courthouse will wonder why she is making the same amount as a burgerflipper
>I will have to endure endless complaints

They should just give away everything for free, then they'll have no competition

Just curious what people pay in taxes/bills etc. Where i live 18$ an hour is not bad. If you have a gf to pay half the bills/utilities with, you can walk away with 1500 dollar a month after everything is paid and done while living in a nice house. That's more than enough for me personally.

What do you propose they do? Ritualistically engage their corporate superiors in hand to hand combat to take their position? Just magically not be poor?

None of that has anything to do with why CA is so well off. It's because it's a coastal state and all the major ports of SF, Oakland, LA, and San Diego receive all the goods from Asia.

Americans shit on each other for just being in different states. It’s endless banter for all of american-time

Why don't they make housing cheaper?

based and capitalism-pilled

just raise minimum wage to $1000 an hour, everyone will be rich with no drawbacks!

God I make $17/hr and actually feel like I'm doing OK for being 24 with no college. This is depressing. FWIW I live in the Midwest where it's cheap to live and I work remotely so I have no commute to pay for.

>finished master's
>need to find a job
I suck at this. I think I need to find more job repositories (i.e., indeed, usajobs) and/or change my search terms
fuck

I'm playing on Netherwing--a x1 TBC private server and can't wait to finish the fucking level grind.
