Yes, it's alarming. Many people are struggling to find work. I hope there's a solution soon to provide financial planning services to help individuals manage their finances during unemployment and plan for the future.

Diversification, guidance from a financial advisor, and a calm approach during market turbulence have propelled me to achieve my most significant financial milestone of $500k through strategic investments. Smart planning and expert advice have made a substantial difference in my investment journey.

He's related to Nancy Piglosi, what would you expect?

Fooled me. Not about the people who elect certain politicians. That's no surprise. The part about politicians understanding how economics (or even business) works; especially since many, if not most of them are lawyers. Hell, one of them is a former bartender who actually (purportedly) minored in economics. You'd think that of all of them, she at least one have at minimum a general sense of how business works.

@44 You make a great argument, I could go into detail but I’ll start with the basics. Ppl by nature want what others have and more, is it unfair, absolutely, does it also fuel innovation, absolutely. I’ll make a great example of why we need social classes with regards to income. I grew up poor, violent household etc. lived in a car basically at 15. I worked 2 FT jobs, paid MY OWN COLLEGE and I currently own 3 businesses. During my teen up until last year, I worked a minimum of 80 a week. Through my hard work and dedication I make over $300k a year. I have employees I pay well etc. Next year I’ll semi retire and still make over $200k a year. The reason I worked my ass off was because as a MAN, it’s my responsibility to protect and provide for my family. Did I give up a lot, absolutely, do I wish I didn’t do it, not once. The moral is, ppl will be ppl, expecting to limit one’s work ethic and think those who risked it all should not be rewarded is not logical or rational thinking. Someone has to but those Rolls and Bentleys or they go out of business and more unemployed in the workforce. Someone has to buy the Gucci, LV etc. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m saying it’s impossible to have the whole pie, you gotta share and the person who tends to risk it all gets the biggest slice. No different than if you and someone else is working and at review time you never missed a day but your coworkers did every week, I’d assume you would be pissed if they got a big raise and you didn’t. It’s unfair but remember, never bite the hand that feeds you.

Dumping gas on a fire will put it out. They just didn't dump enough gas on it. That's their logic

I don't think their vote really matters, the political system is corrupted to the core.

they know not to bite the hand that feeds them. you understand? no retiree is going to go up in arms ; regardless of what the younger generations want to do. once that buffer of retirees is gone. its all gonna come crashing down. why? because there will be a gap of about 5 or 6 years where there are no new retirees . in that gap is where all hell will break loose.

Purple hair, not knowing if they are m or f , do you really think these people are competent enough to vote?

You can’t educate the uneducated…

And it's always a disappointment.

Agreed, most women now days aren’t worth the time and cost.

I have'nt been able to afford eating out for a long time. I can feed myself for two days on what one takeout meal costs these days. And as others have said, the takeout food quality is low these days.

The minimum wage should be $22hr now.

I also stopped eating out. It makes no economic sense. Back a few years ago, I would take the family out for a nice dinner on weekends, as a ¨reward¨ for all the hard work we all did. Nowadays it cost more than $100 for a nice family meal, food quality went down, service quality went down... now my wife and I just take turns and learn new recipies for the weekend. A nice homemade lasagna with sides, salad, and a bottle of wine cost us around $50 to make (and better quality ingredients), and we still have leftover for the next day.

​@@747faYour comment makes the assumption that there is "only one giant company that controls all the jobs". Employees are always free to look for higher paying jobs elsewhere. Small businesses are a great way to support employees who want to aquire skills and higher wages.

@@747fa You truly proved how economically illiterate you are. If it actually worked in the manner that you are implying, then how does anyone make more than minimum wage? If all companies just pay the "pleb workers" the minimum, nobody could possibly make more than minimum wage. People get paid based upon the value that they add. Who would it benefit for government to cause companies to go out of business? Would the employees who lost their jobs be better off? Would other businesses and their workers be better off from the lost sales that are caused by the first company going out of business? When the minimum wage goes up, it causes price increases, so those big companies can just raise their prices and they can make the same amount that they did before after adjusting for the minimum wage induced inflation. Beyond that, companies start taking away perks, only give the minimum pay increase required, cut hours and cut job. Minimum wage increases also squeeze the people making more than minimum wage because they never get the full minimum wage increase, which would still be a pay cut because they make less than the percentage of minimum wage than they did before. For example, if minimum wage is $10 and it goes up to $11, that is a 10% increase. Someone making $15 an hour would be luck to get the $1 raise, but they would actually need a raise of $1.50 to keep their wages 50% above minimum wage.

.3% of companies create 1/3 of the jobs. There is an illusion of choice that you can just "get a job elsewhere," when these companies have monopolized the market and government influence.

@@mr.joshua204 he meant it's expensive for him now.

Fast food has always been a luxury.

​@mr.joshua204 Lol. I love when people can write one sentence and you can tell their IQ is below room temperature. No offense to you personally

Kinda like ol' Karl Marx.

I just would love to see the look on her face when she gets replaced buy AI

That's the problem she has never thought about other people she's only thinking about herself. Selfishness and self-centeredness is part of the reason this country is getting destroyed.

@@shortsign The bosses control all the factors of production except for union labor. They control the government, the banks, the money printing and the prices of housing, electricity, food and water. Naturally its stacked against us.

They do care about the repercussions. The "repercussions" are the intended effect.

@@Lord_Volkner Its just a ploy to get votes for Democrats as they pretend to be friends of labor.

I assume you work at a private company? How would paying minimum wage workers more impact the profits of private business?

That's not how economics works. You obviously didn't pay attention to the video. When you increase minimum wage, you devalue those employees and middle class spending power. Because prices will be increased. However, fast food employees hours will be cut because guess what? The middle class will just eat out LESS. Which will hurt demand for fast food and the franchise owners bottom line. Making that minimum wage bump, not helpful at all. If everyone stops eating out, which is happening. Fast food will have to lower prices and continue to CUT people hours.

Work under the table and collect state benefits.

​@@bixbysnyder-00You dont think private businesses employ minimum wage workers?

​@@Slick1020It wouldnt result in cut hours at all, because the business still needs to operate at those hours. What it will do is result in cutting staff and a crappier end product.

You clearly have no idea how expensive it is to live in California. Even $20/hr is not going to buy you a good life.

​@@alex-cf4dyThat's what happens when you continue voting to raise your taxes. 🤷‍♀️

Or increase politicians’ salaries

If we never left the gold and silver standard minimum wage would be much higher

The people that can least afford the Democrat policies keep voting for Democrats 🤦

Increasing wages always hurts the bosses because then the workers expect more as profits go down while prices slump while towards the cost of production. If the Central Banks were constantly creating more money the whole world economy would collapse. They need inflation to rob us of our wages.

You want to talk welfare? Billionaires are the biggest recipients of government welfare. Tax cuts, tax breaks, and maybe even a new stadium or two built by taxpayers.

Mountain man you hit that right in the nose. Dam common sense

If your business can't pay people a living wage then that business is a failure.

These 'entry-level' jobs were never meant to support a family. They were supposed to be part time jobs for high school & college students. If you do the 'entry level' job for 20 years.. that's your fault. You're supposed to take on more responsibility and get promotions...more money.

​@bixbysnyder-00 Not billionaires, corporations. Just like bloated labor unions that use their weight to force politicians to give them what they want so to can bloated corporations. What's your solution?

They hand out goodies to get re-elected.

Because people don't vote for successful business people, they vote for whomever tells them what they want to hear.

Same reason why people who have never been workers make laws for people who are workers. Do you really think any of the big tech company leaders, ie.. the most successful and predatory businesses in the world... should be a politician?

the democrat's dream
