Or heres an idea: force landlords and rental companies to rent homes for fair prices ($300 for an apartment and $600 for a house)



So...force people to operate a business at a severe loss or at best break even? Walk us through exactly how that's gonna work and what the incentivebto do it is lmao

Outrageous comments like yours are why a CEman will never hold office.

We need $33/hr to match inflation. Theyre less than halfway to where we need to be.

Or heres an idea: force landlords and rental companies to rent homes for fair prices ($300 for an apartment and $600 for a house), then corporate businesses can continue paying shit wages that would actually pay peoples rent.

Its one or the other; these CEOs are so political that theyre practically congressmen, so they need to drive down the cost of rent and medical expenses if they want to continue operating. If neither of these happens, then the entire fast food business is going to go down. Couple this with the fact that, for whatever reason, customers are now wrathful, sadistic pieces of human shit and no wonder nobody wants to put up with it.

On another note, theyre still paying $12 (minimum wage) here. Someone posted a topic yesterday about Taco Bell hiring for $10/hr.

Its. Not. Enough.
No one is going to rent out houses for 600 dollars. Unless it's a shithole the mortgage will cost more than that.

Post 5 and post 17 are asking for 32 or 33 hourly as minimum wage which ranges more or less in the 65k-68k range. Nearly 70K. Are yall living in the heart of
California or something?

For someone so against communism, you do open yourself up to being publicly owned quite often.

You obviously are someone with a developmental disability or at least a massive social anxiety disorder so I don't feel right dunking on you for being a 30 yo that lives at home with your parents while also not being involved in the workforce or education. However, I will say that your astounding hatred of the working class is indefensible and you'd do well to stop getting your opinions on these matters from your parents.

Heres how it works:

Landlords have bought up every property that they can to rent them for unbelievable prices. Still with me? The landlords realize they can no longer rent their piece of shit cracker box houses for $2k/month, so what do they do? They sell. Still with me? Now there are actually houses on the market and theyve taken such shitty care of them that they cant sell them for unfair prices.

Basically, they never should have been allowed to rent for the prices they are demanding, so fuck em. Pretty simple math.

Dont come back at me with some pro-capitalist boot licker BS, either.

If a business can't afford to pay their workers a living wage, maybe that business should die.

That would be a fair argument when it comes to say $17-18, but over $30 and you could see a lot of good businesses die as well
