There’s a million fuckin sources that prove the wage gap. Literally type “what is the wage gap “productivity”” in Google and go nuts. Wtf is this comment
This isn’t about you though, it’s about us. The collective. The country. Minimum wage will be paid to some people because capitalism, and it’s abhorrent. Double it and you’re still not paying enough to reach a livable wage in a low cost of living state.
Make it $20 federally and those of us that are privileged to make more than minimum wage will also get raises. The companies and executives will have to make less money. If a company can’t afford to pay that then they can go out of business.
Absolutely. Put it at 20 or 30 or whatever is needed. I would do that in an instant, but of course, making enemies from the powerful greedy corps will mean that I won’t be around long.
Increases in productivity could have been split between labor and capital, giving benefits to both. (Or even better, gone just to labor, but that would not be a “both lines go up” scenario.)
Reminder that every dollar possessed by the ultrawealthy is time you wouldn’t have had to spend working and could have instead used that time to enrich your personal life whether it’s alone, with family, or friends.
The minimum wage should grow with inflation according to an annual review. It’s an injustice that there must be this huge battle every time it needs to be increased every few years but only when people get fed up because they can’t afford to live.

Pretty much how it’s handled in Australia, although they sometimes increase it above inflation. Importantly, it’s handled by an independent body and not something that is subject to votes in parliament.
I don’t need no stinkin’ government getting involved in my business trying to… Get me more money. Same as when that Obama tried to save me money on healthcare. Don’t tread on me!
Yeah! I want to live a lifetime of suffering and pain so that no illegals get shelter and no children get food! Disgusting! Republican Jesus woulda shot those immigrants and fed those kids to the lions.
Don’t tell me about no Bible, I haven’t read a book since I was 7 and I ain’t about to start now. Fox News is the one source of truth!
Immigrants are the enemy! Billionaires are friends. Just like it says on the TV channel that the billionaire owns! It has to be true! I’m stupid btw.
I’m not sure you get the point I am making. You changed something, perhaps without noticing. The quote is about productivity, not inflation. Merely keeping pace with inflation when productivity is booming hardly seems enough.
If you think productivity should be factored in that’s fine, but I’m not talking about productivity like the post is. I purposely left it out. I’m merely saying that wages should keep up with inflation at the very least.
