Epic troll post

No because if you worry that much about getting fast food you have bigger problems in life.

>>17304341
>We don't pay our employees shit

The state of mentally ill ppl....

>>17304341
There’s always something to worry about. Spend a few minutes worrying and then move on.

>>17304341
Where the fuck are these people going? Like did they use their government bux to free up time to learn a new skill, or did they just quit for like a month?

No, they'll pay more or they'll close down.

Either one is capitalism at work.

>>17304341
>>17304385
they'll have to come crawling back
they were jobless on COVIDbux for a year and loved it. now that it has run out, they're just holding out on unemployment, which will run out as well. They are hoping that their reddit "antiwork" "revolution" will somehow result in governments sending them free money for life.

>>17304341
Maybe worry about your grocery stores sitting empty

>>17304389
they'll definitely pay more, to invest in automation so they don't have to rely on as many """workers""" in the future. when the wagies come crawling back, only 1/3 of their old jobs are still gonna be there.

>>17304385
getting into other industries with higher wages, mostly. The unemployment rate has been falling steadily for the past year. It's great to see the seethe from shitty employers and posters like >>17304393

>>17304341
The only people it affects are those people who rely on restaurants and fast food to feed themselves because they don't know how to cook. You know, city dwelling millennials.

>>17304397
Mines not and ive seen some prices come down

it probably has more to do with the media and government convincing people that there's a deadly plague spreading around the world that is transferred by being in close proximity to strangers than it does wagies realizing work sucks

>>17304412
>millennials
Nice scapegoat

>>17304400
Meh, that's also captilism at work, you'll get massive numbers of unemployable poor people that can't feed themselves and have nothing (or very little) left to lose.

Then our government needs to make the choice, do they implement UBI (or similar social safety nets), or do they just let homeless people become a MASSIVE chunk of society that is getting more and more turbulent?

Sounds like a good recipe for armed rebellion and mass looting/rioting to me. Far easier (and cheaper) to just pay people not to work.

>>17304341

yes, the McWagies are definitely moving into real jobs now, because somehow the barriers that prevented them from doing this before are now magically gone, for some reason.

The second one. Lots of countries have the majority of their population living in poverty and just use military force to suppress any armed uprisings.

>>17304427

>>17304433

>>17304436
Yes, Gen X forgot to tell zoomers that they need to get an actual degree and not a made up easy "degree" that only exists to suck up tuition revenue.

>>17304434
>Lots of countries have the majority of their population living in poverty and just use military force to suppress any armed uprisings
I don't think any of those countries have the same level of gun ownership the US does.

Good luck trying that when every yokle and their brother has AR-15's, shotguns, and assorted handguns.

>>17304442
I reply to you.
Gib car plz.

>>17304433
You're hearing things that weren't said, I guess you really are mentally ill.

>>17304455
Yeah but those yokels tend to be people with useful skills and whatnot.
Not faggy little zoomers who can’t assemble a burger properly.

>>17304455
Rural US populations that own the guns will be fine, they have real jobs. It's only city-dwelling wagies that hate gun owners and live in gun-free zones that are going to be on the street

>>17304462
>you really are mentally ill.
Okay gib free mental healthcare plz. I flip burger.

>>17304455
Why havent the gun owners stopped their tyrant govt?

>>17304464
>According to the most recent estimates from the 2019 American Community Survey (ACS), the nonmetro poverty rate was 15.4 percent in 2019, compared with 11.9 percent for metro areas.

That’s how job market . If you can’t fill your staffing needs YOU AREN’T PAYING ENOUGH

>>17304463
lmao, you're delusional and projecting

Same as above, you're just delusional and projecting

There has been a rise in the registering of LLCs since the start of the pandemic. That tells me some people are just saying fuck it and starting their own business, which is pretty based.

Sounds reasonable. :) Performing a function is far more useful than you living on the streets and committing crime.

>>17304474
Poor zoomie:(

>>17304434
>the McWagies are definitely moving into real jobs now
You need to learn reading comprehension, dimwit. Moving into other industries with higher wages =/= skilled labor. All it means that they're not doing shitty food industry jobs. Keep seething.

>>17304481
I'm 30 years old

>>17304480
Ok I flip extra burger for you my friend.

>>17304455
>every yokle and their brother has AR-15's, shotguns, and assorted handguns.
Yeah and every police force in the nation has tanks, helicopters and military training, dumbass. Did you think the DoD was seeding that equipment in every county for your health?

>>17304479
What does one have to do with the other? I think you might need meds. Not that anon btw, I'm just curious about what the fuck you're thinking to post something so random and dumb.

>>17304508
Check your ego. Then reread my post. I know reality is hard for you Narcissists to understand

no idea why seppo cunts have so much money but their proles have so little. plebs earn $80 an hour holding a shovel in australia.

how much of this workforce was killed or crippled by covid?
that's probably a bigger concern

>>17304505
Again, that's just going to lead to widespread civil unrest and potentially a civil war.

It's hard to get public opinion on your side when you start slaughtering poor people, especially when those poor people have families that aren't poor.

Again, by FAR the cheapest solution is just to implement UBI.

Cry all you want about freeloaders getting money for doing nothing, but the alternative is to lock them up (which costs even more money), or kill them all (which costs money AND pisses off the rest of the free world and your own citizens)

Just pay the poor people to fuck off and live in their shitty 1 bedroom apartment with some VR porn and no one gives a fuck. UBI is by far the best solution for everyone.

>>17304531
>the cheapest solution is to pay them to not commit crime!
nah, kill them and let reddit, ahem sorry, the free world seethe

>>17304433
sure if you can spell it wifout 'deez' an other linguistic vulgarities...

>>17304531
UBI isn't cheap though, that's an Andrew Yang talking point contingent on melting down social security (and SNAP, and just about every single existing social program) to fund it, which again, also leads to social unrest from being deprived of basic needs. It's essentially impossible to come up with a form of budget-neutral or even budget-acceptable UBI that doesn't double the entitlements spending or more -- I think spending is good, but thinking that it's likely to happen just because you've caught wind of a lie about its price is stupid.

Besides, neglecting poor people has been fine so far. Why would they change now?

>>17304433
Brainwashed by Jews

>minimum wage isn't enough to survive on
>welfare doesn't provide enough support to survive on even with a minimum wage job on top of it
>it's your fault for being too poor to feed and house yourself even though the cost of living has gone up significantly and wages have stayed stagnant

At what point do you realize it's not the poor people at fault here? It's the rich fucks getting even richer and hoarding wealth that is the issue.


We have more than enough money to feed and house every homeless person in the entire country a dozen times over, AND pay for free college education for everyone. But instead we continue to cut corporate taxes and continue to raise individual tax burden while keeping wages stagnant amidst record inflation and rising food and housing costs.

It's unsustainable and the solution of just kill the poor people is a bit fucking ridiculous, eventually when you just keep killing the poor people in society, what used to be the middle class becomes the new poor people and you have the same problems as before if not worse.

>>17304354
>WAAAAAH PAY ME $40K A YEAR TO RUN A DEEP FRYER

>>17304568
It is cheap though, compared to the alternatives, it's not expensive at all.

UBI + Universal healthcare + free college and you can either tax the ultra-wealthy and corporations slightly more, or cut military spending by 10-20%. Or a mixture of both.

>>17304385
I think people forget covid killing a lot of people means a lot of extra job openings.

>>17304575
Dum take.

>>17304587
Your conception of how much money gets spent where is insanely distorted.

>>17304434
>yes, the McWagies are definitely moving into real jobs now, because somehow the barriers that prevented them from doing this before are now magically gone, for some reason.
The barrier was the better paying jobs were held by older people with seniority. But something happened to make a lot of those older people go away.

>>17304587
The alternative is to not pay for it. Your armed uprising scenario doesn't happen because of the tanks and helicopters; the purpose of a massive arms and equipment advantage is to prevent a war, not to win it once it breaks out. And no, "10-20%" of military spending would not even pay for 10-20% of current non-discretionary entitlements spending, let alone a full UBI program. Money is fake, but math is real.

>>17304575
let's say you have a retard who can't function in society and chooses to work a minimum wage job that doesn't pay enough to satisfy all their wants and needs. why would you pay for them to go to college? the poor people aren't poor because of flat tax rates they're poor because they don't have the chops to cut it in society. those who strive are upwardly mobile and those who sit around sulking or laying with their hand out are getting out of society what they put in, jack all.

>>17304599
Not really

>>17304433
That's how the free market works, it goes both ways. You aren't entitled to anyone's labor. If you don't want to pay that or can't meet it, that's fine. Just don't bitch about it when you have high turnover rates and poor workers.

>>17304607
When someone says free college, that doesn't mean ANYONE that wants to go to college can go to college, it means anyone that IS accepted to that college (on that basis of academic merit) can go to school for free.

Obviously not everyone should go to college, that isn't the point of free college. The point is if you ARE smart enough it shouldn't be an economic burden.

>>17304412
>city dwelling millennials
It's actually midwestern boomers that can't cook for themselves and thrive on fast food.
Millennials aren't too far behind though.

>>17304608
Yes really.

>>17304572

>>17304618
>When someone says free college, that doesn't mean ANYONE that wants to go to college can go to college
I guarantee you this is what most people who say "free college" mean.
>it means anyone that IS accepted to that college (on that basis of academic merit) can go to school for free.
I guarantee you merit does not have as much of a bearing on acceptance rates as you think does.

>>17304585
>WAAAAAH WORK FOR ME FOR AS LITTLE AS I CAN AFFORD
Nobody is entitled to having employees.

>>17304595
Good thing nobody died from the flu since the beginning of time. We would really be short of workers

>>17304630
We don't have free college in this country, so it really doesn't matter in the slightest what the current acceptance is based on you fucking moron

>>17304618
how is it fair to the poor people who don't qualify because they're retards. if you're paying taxes why should some entitled 90 IQ guy get a free ride while you're relegated to underclass labor

>>17304410
holy fucking cope

>>17304638
Because your kids might. But if your kids are dumbasses too then I guess life is already been unfair to you.

>>17304638
>how is it fair to base acceptance on academic merit when the entire point of college is to further your academic knowledge

wow, tough one

>>17304631
The elites think they're very entitled and they have all the brainwashed sheep believing them

>>17304585
If your business can't sustain itself because no one wants to work for your shit pay, how is that the workers problem?

Sounds like the free market at work, pay up or fail. It's literally that easy.

>>17304397
My grocery store has never not been loaded, except for toilet paper at the very beginning of the pandemic. I live in the tri-state.

>>17304341
No, I don't get fast food and the restaurants I like are all fully staffed.

>>17304354
They'll either come crawling back once unemployment runs out or be replaced by ordering at kiosks and having workers classified as waitstaff rather than employees.

>>17304647
you're uhh... I hope you recall this... trying to rob the country to enable the poor exploited students to further their education on the public's dime presumably so they can get jobs and improve their life

>>17304646
>unfair
like not getting everything you desire handed to you by your lord and savior the state

>>17304657
>like not getting everything you desire handed to you by your lord and savior the state
Yet I need to hand everything over to the state or I go to jail

>>17304657
Better than having all of that humanity has created deprived of you by your lord and savior, the market. A worthwhile society is good even if you personally don't become enriched by it, you selfish little bastard. White knighting for unemployable high school dropout retards because they don't want to see other people succeed.

>>17304471
Yeah and the "poverty" wages in rural areas can buy you land and everything you need, while the "high" wages in the city can barely afford you a cardboard box.

>>17304604
That always happens, doesn't explain why suddenly wagies are refusing to work
If you actually read through the stuff on reddit "antiwork", it doesn't indicate anyone is going anywhere better, just quitting jobs while being angry at society (for their own bad choices)

>>17304657
What do you think K-12 education is?

They're already given 13 years of education for free, the people who are smart enough to continue on for another 4 years shouldn't suddenly be saddled with $100-200k+ in debt because they're smarter.

Further, college education has only ballooned in cost because of colleges realizing they can charge whatever the fuck they want since 90% of the students are having to take out loans anyway, what's another $10k a year for someone that's already borrowing $40k a year?
Administrative overhead is retarded, and most of it is spurred on by the fact university education ISN'T free, and it's a for profit system that prays on people getting student loans from the government.

Far easier to just cap university costs, drastically cut administrative staff, make it free for everyone and the government simply pays for the pure cost (without any bullshit overhead paying for hundreds of administrative staff who's main job is figuring out how to make the university more money)

>>17304667
>I'm in the lowest income bracket.....

tuition prices have elastic demand but you know that

>>17304385
>did they just quit for like a month?

Bruh fast food jobs are disposable on both ends. The corporation can find a new warm body and the worker can find a new corporation instantly.

>>17304687
>The study found evidence for inelastic demand for tuition fees at a public 4-year intuition. A $100 increase in tuition fees would lead to a decline in enrolment by less than 0.25 per cent.

That's how it was up until recently. My dad had a house, car, housewife and three kids, while working at a gas station.

>>17304718
you already have free education institution in the states? then the elasticity of tuition to those attending them is pretty irrelevant don'tcha think?

>>17304729
They're not free is the point

They SHOULD be free.

>>17304729
They are state run schools that charge tuition you absolute dumbfuck

Yeah nah, I'm not a narcissist. Nothing about my post indicated any sort of ego projection. Again, what does one thing have to do with the other?

Yeah, but the job providers have all the leverage. Wagies have nothing.
>I'll just quit!
Ok, you'll have to come crawling back tho
>You'll go out of business without my labor!!
I can:
Import temp workers
Hire immigrants willing to work for your wage
Automate some of the labor
You can:
Eat through your savings for a couple of months and then end up on the street or come crawling back

No matter what, I win and you lose. Anything you do simply pushes me to cut you out of the job market completely.
