Dana Summers for April 08, 2024

If companies want to stay in business they need employees… and pay them enough to keep them.

Check out the newest Bidens Senior Moments at the Washington Free Beacon. After watching ask yourself, “Do we really want this guy around for a 2nd term”? The answer is absolutely not!!

Replaced by an EV robot at McDonalds. Pure CA insanity for workers.

Gelt off your bu££, get trained to be a welder, electrician, airplane mechanic, or plumber, work hard and live comfortably. Go to college, major in something like gender studies, and find your own park bench.

If minimum wage were somehow magically lowered, even MAGAts like Summers don’t believe the price of hamburgers would go down.

I’ve posted this before. (groan). Raising the minumum wage to a height like this is only a band-aid solution to a much greater problem. Fast food outlets, convenience stores, stocking shelves at WalMart; These USED to be starter jobs for teens and some extra cash for retired seniors. But since NAFTA was shoved down our throats, Hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs were re-located to Asia and newly liberated Eastern Europe, forcing skilled machinists, tech & customer support specialists and many others to seek jobs, only to be able to find one at much lower salaries, or hourly wages. Big business in America today rarely gives raises to any employee under the top executive staff. Benefits were scaled back, if not eliminated. Hiring “contract” workers went up. The gulf of wealth widened considerably. The Billionaire-Investor class brought on this economic nightmare to enrich themselves at the expense of the ever-shrinking middle-working class. Where do we go from here, to make America “Great” again?

Slavery was supposed to have ended years ago. If the fast food restaurants won’t pay a decent wage, let them go or of business.

Remember when there was a labor shortage in the restaurant business because no one wanted to work for such poor pay?

Economics does work that way. Only ignorant people believe that.

Henry Ford paid his workers enough so they could buy the product they were building. He was wrong on a lot of social issues but he had that spot on, even if it sounds purely selfish as he phrased it.

It’s a low bar, but one that a lot of companies don’t meet today. (I don’t expect that to be the case at Boeing.)

Companies eagerly pursuing AI so as to eliminate employees, increase profits, increase dividends, exacerbate wealth inequity. It’s the American way.
