Resistance To Minimum Wage Increase Ignores Broad Support Of American Voters | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Who are these dudes?
Well they identify as menen. They have all functional parts so Whatever bathroom is quicker to get through will determine that question for the day
Ricky Madboy and not so pretty Pramila
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that somewhere out there, a dog needs to be adopted.
Or some unlucky child is being sexually exploited right now..
Best and most wholesome comment I seen all week
I don’t like dogs too much.
Invest in $ZOM 😆
And then immediately spayed/neutered.
The cost of living needs to come down not raise the minimum wage. The housing market has tripled. This prices are outrageous.
@Brandon Bernard So only ghettos have poor people in them, hu? Wow, this just goes to show that you have no life experience whatsoever and have probably never stepped foot outside of your little safe space wherever you live. Ever been to run down trailer park or a shanty town up in the Appalachians? Because I have. And they were full of people in financial distress or “poor” for lack of a better word. Weren’t no “inner city ghettos” around for a 100 miles in any direction.
@Bad Bishop Why you so racist? Your privilege is showing. Smarten up.
@Sandra Lewis lmao i dont make bad decisions, which is probably why I rely on nobody to fund anything I do and have zero limitations when its comes to anything I want to do. Stop projecting your own failures onto others instead of coming up with a legitimate argument. You shouldnt be buying luxury electronics if you still need welfare.
@mike sixx You shouldn’t try to control other people. It will only annoy them and frustrate you. Concentrate on your own good decisions and you should be fine. No worries!
FYI the cost of living will triple!
God, I can’t watch more than 10 seconds of this before my brain starts to melt
@I hate CCP,天安门大屠杀1989年6月4日,共匪,五毛,光復香港,時代革命 Yes they are propaganda.
@Walt Likker any business that can’t pay 15 an hour needs to fail
@Mark Jones You appear to be a spoiled, privileged kid with no idea of what it takes to run a small business.
@Mark Jones No, they’ll just downsize and outsource to make up for their increased labor costs. Then, instead of trying to live on $7.25/hr (nobody other than teenagers actually makes that) they can try to live on $0/hr. What a great deal!
@tabber87 nope
Minimum wage for minimum work is reasonable. Education = higher requirements which leads to higher pay. Just a bunch of soft skulls with unscrupulous tendencies.
These people actually think they are smart. It’s become comedy at this point.
@Margaret Nicol You accidentally got the second half of your comment right, that is what people should do, not have the government define what someone’s labor is worth.
@Robert Cheek If the employer won’t do it then someone has to. Employees need to live. No-one is being greedy – they just want to be able to pay their rent, buy food without worrying about it and live a little. It’s not like they are asking for $50/hr.
@username unknown Did I say anything about being paid the same. I’m talking about people’s worth not their price. No lower paid mean no high exec pay. However, no high exec pay makes no difference to lower paid workers. They’re the ones that keep the company successful or not.
@Margaret Nicol You just don’t get it, make the minimum wage $15, rent, food, and ‘livin a little’ just get more expensive because the places you purchased those things labor cost just doubled. It’s not a difficult concept, surely you know some sort of small business owner, ask them what it would mean to their business if labor costs doubled.
@Robert Cheek No – you don’t get it – unless you just feel that people should work a 40 hour week for nothing. People get paid more – they spend more. That goes back into the economy. The economy collapses when people have no money to spend.
Voter: votes yes, please.
Big business & Gov’t: thank you for your opinion, we were only wondering.
Her eyes 👀👀 can’t take it 🤣
The Congress needs to live on the minimum wage I guarantee they do raise it then
Kind of like how y’all ignored all the voter fraud evidence. Wowww. Amazing
The republicans are showing they want to fight on something like fair pay something a majority of their voters vote yes on let them try
We need the Democrats to be relentless in passing legislation that the people want. The sad truth is, until they prove it, I see them as having zero backbone. If the Republicans want to stonewall you, do what needs to be done to get these things done. The unity with he people not the hacks in congress will matter. Especially in future elections. So, just do it. For the people.
Yeah that ain’t going to create unity with the people pal. Plenty of conservatives are already fed up with the amounts and types of legislation the liberals are pushing for. Brinksmanship is something liberals don’t have a clue about today
But let’s have a “feelgood” story about how a 6 year old did some type of manual labor so that he could eat lunch at school.
@Joe Smith What’s the point to quickly open schools if people are going to just increase infections and death…..we gotta control the virus first….WHY IS THIS CONCEPT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO GET!!!….CONTROL THE VIRUS SCHOOLS OPEN ITS SIMPLE…..but there’s still loonies that think the virus is fake and wont wear a mask….so schools wont open….America is shooting it’s self in the foot….
@ejay D The virus is real the deaths are low.
@ejay D it’s not that people think the virus is fake (sure some ppl) rather they don’t trust the official narrative of govt and MSM. Even if the disease were 1000% more deadly, they’d push back against control measures on the basis that they come from the government, an entity they inherently distrust.
Understand my comment and you will have cured your misunderstanding of many people.
How many people have died of the flu this year? Probably none since Goofy Biden cured that along with cancer. Die from anything now and it’s due to the china plague.
Man that’s my story! Raised by a single mother with two kids; cut grass in the summer pushing our lawn mower up and down the street and carried a shovel in winter looking for potential customers during both seasons. Bought school clothes with the money and was able to hangout with friends bowling, going to the movies, grabbing a bite to eat, what have you. Oh I was also on the free lunch program but like many of those coming after me; our government is doing all they can to get rid of that too!
Raise minimum wage? How about lower the cost of living ? I think that would work better
Employers react to increasing the minimum wage by cutting back quality, raising prices and laying off employees.
LMFAO!!!!!!!! All the Biden voters are having buyers remorse.
I was looking at the left eye. Which one were you looking at?
The greed of the wealthy is destroying this country. B/c liberals & conservatives are at each other’s throats over abortion and gun control, nothing will ever get fixed & we will continue down this path while the rich get richer.
The public doesn’t believe anything our Congress has to say nothing but lies. Right along with your media
A lot of folks from my generation cant even afford to rent an apartment, let alone buy a home so $15 minimum wage really aint sh!t. If anything, the prices of everyday needs just needs to dip.
