UC Berkeley Touts $15 Minimum Wage Law, Then Fires Hundreds Of Workers After It Passes

this notion is nonsensical in the extreme. You clearly aren't aware of how many businesses are leaving CA and moving to TX. How many gazillions is the state of CA in the hole for now? More than I can count, that's for sure.

Trust me I don't make minimum wage, I'm a truck driver not a glorious job but pays well and I know a large portion of my companies revenue comes from those minimum wage people who can't control their spending.

Really? Which ones?

Hmmm.............. tell us, did you read this?

Joint Chiefs Nominee: Russia Poses 'Greatest Threat' To U.S.







It's obvious that YOU don't understand the world.

I'm OK with your ignorance. Are you?

Can't believe we got them to pass this LoL. What a joy to kick the low wage scumm out of our places of business.

Thanks....I wanted to read more before I dais just what you pointed out....ENTRY LEVEL.....the beginning of your work career....unless your an idiot....then......

Hundreds - feel free to do your own research, or not, I really couldn't give a fuck less how stupid you choose to remain.

Liberals, open borders, the federal government and our massive debt pose the greatest threat to the US.

If you cannot see that, then I really don't give a rat fuck.

You really should apply for a job at Berkeley teaching socialist econ. That's where you praise the $15/hr min wage as 500 people are fired shortly after it becomes law and you work for an institution that's so deep in the fucking economic hole that it will never see the light of day. Yet, you make top dollar teaching that worthless nonsense to the kids of other mindless liberals - so you do quite well as the poor are fired. Pretty cool, huh?

Think more than one move ahead. Machines will make machines monitored by people making far above min wage.
Sheesh...

The problem is that no one defines exactly what a "living wage" is. That is because it is different for each person. Why? Because each person has their own idea and DESIRE for what that "living wage" is.

Each person decides what their DESIRED standard of "living" is and then wants that pay to achieve it. It is different for each person. A middle class person who is making $40,000 a year wants to make twice that to afford the lifestyle that they DESIRE. A CEO demands the bucks to support his lifestyle. It is the same attitude, just a different "living" wage.

These people that demand the minimum wage to be $15.00 an hour WANT the pay that allows them to HAVE the THINGS that they WANT and DESIRE, not necessarily NEED. These who are unskilled, inexperience, uneducated or under educated demand a wage that they have not earned in those areas, the same as those that are now making that very same wage and that worked up to that and earned it.

These same people most likely have the latest and very expensive phone, cable, car with all the expensive wheels, tires, sound systems etc., they eat out most meals, have the nice furniture, electronics, games systems, go out a lot, have expensive tennis shoes/clothes, etc. They have maxed out cc and whine that they don't have a "living" wage to pay their bills when they have the WANTS, DESIRES and ENTITLED attitude above.

They want the business owner (who worked, sacrificed, took/takes all the risk to start and make a successful business that gave them that job and pay that they are not happy with) to pay for their DESIRES for a better lifestyle while not earning that right to do so with experience, education, and skills.

It isn't a "living" wage that they want, it is a better and higher lifestyle that they want with out any of the responsibilities to get one. Basic, frugal expenses for living are not that much and can be accomplished with the current min wage - many do, but they are not the ones who live and desire the things above.

They scrimp and work extra to pay for schooling, training. They eat at home and it isn't fancy. They have no cable, no fancy phones, cars, have thrift store clothes, etc. They live within their means. The others do not want to or desire to live within their means and want others to fund it, no matter the cost to the one paying for it. Scrimping isn't fun and it takes character to do it to get where you desire to be. That's the hard work that people don't want to do.

Most of those demanding the "living" wage do not want to deprive themselves of anything they WANT to get what they want and demand that others pay for them to get it. They see anyone who has a successful business and is paying a minimum wage, is "cheating" them and hoarding all the "wealth" for themselves.

FYI, it is their business that was started with their money, time, and risk - something that these that demand that "living" wage are not willing nor able to do. These business owners started a business to make a living for themselves and in growing it made jobs for others. It is their money, they earned it, they didn't start a business to give unskilled/uneducated/inexperienced workers the lifestyle that they want and now demand.

Do big corps. have big profit, yes. Do they share it with their workers, not much. Do their CEO's make a large profit from it, yes, is it excessive - yes. There is a difference between a large corp. and a small or larger family owned successful business/company. They are structured differently and not "owned" by any one person, and therefore the "risk" is not carried by any one person.

It was the person, not the business owner/corp., who chose to be a single parent with children,

It was the person, not the business owner/corp., who chose to not seek an education because it took time and money (not willing to work while going to school),

It was the person, not the business owner/corp., who chose to take out life long student loans to get a degree where they could not find a job with that degree,

It was the person, not the business owner/corp., who chose to WANT and that FEELS ENTITLED to a higher lifestyle than they have earned, and feels demeaned by having to live with the lifestyle that their choice(s) have given them,

It is the persons CHOICE(s) in these and many more that lead to a persons standard of living and none of them are the responsibility of the business owner/corp. It is not their responsibility to see that they are "relieved" of the negative or unpleasant results of those choices or to "improve" them. But, unfortunately many who demand these things do not see it that way.


Live within your means, if you need help to live frugally, then seek the help that our tax dollars pay. I am not responsible, nor or business owners/corps. for your choices or state in life, nor to improve it. You are solely responsible for your own life and it's circumstances - good, bad or otherwise.

If you have a job, be happy that someone else took the risk and work that provided you with one. You are paid to do a job, don't think it is worth more than it is because you WANT and think you DESERVE more so that you can live above your means.

If you do not like your standard of living, then change it with an education, acquired skills, and experience. Or, start your own business. You are responsible for yourself and no one owes you anything. Most people are willing to help those that have less because they have worked hard for what they have and know how it is. But, most do not want to help those that are not willing to do what they need to do to get where they need to be and just want and demand it all be given to them with no responsibility. And that see that certain jobs are beneath them or that their non existent skills are worth more than they are.

Life is hard even on a good day. Do what you have to do be successful and to live within your means, no matter what those means are.

Wtf? "Minimum wage employers need to start weeding out anyone over 18 or with kids." Why would an employer be concerned with such things? They just want a warm body to flip the burgers or run the cash register, preferably a warm body that doesn't call in sick or goof off at work, which is actually counterintuitive to your argument since a bunch of 18 yo with zero responsibility are more likely to call in sick and goof off! Do you even realize how dumb this sounds? To argue that, "minimum wage jobs weren't intended for these people, so even if it's in the best interest of the business (ie profitable) to hire them, they just shouldn't."

And AC DID offer answers: the answers of self-reliance and accountability. How many of the poor grew up in poverty and thought to themselves, "I don't want this future, so I had better buckle down in school, get a scholarship for college and major in something useful or go to trade school for cheap and become a small business owner (plumber, electrician, hairdresser, etc), not get pregnant so as not to saddle myself with supporting bastard kids on 1 salary and govt handouts which creates dependency and slavery, obey the law so I am not accruing legal fees and trying to find employment with a record, not waste money on tattoos, the newest cell phone, or drugs (tying into the criminal record handicap above), work 2 jobs if I have to, etc..." Most people in poverty CHOOSE not to break that cycle by making poor choices or failing to make any choice.

Stop acting like the poor are mere victims of the Elite when the TRUE victims are the middle-class who are raped and robbed via taxes to support the poor, which actually makes, not only the wealthy but also, the poor the nefarious victimizers. Yes, the system is partially rigged, but the evidence of people who pull themselves out of poverty shows that it is possible.

Because, they are no longer institutions of education, but a den of scam artists. The administrators(often Jewish), give themselves a larger salary than the President.

Scholarships only exist for blacks, asians, muslims, jew's, homosexuals, women and everyone else under the Sun, but Caucasian young men, and men. Instead, we "buckle down", study, work hard, only to be discriminated and oppressed, by the British/Jewish/Vatican, overlords.

Because they are wasteful just like our government. Please, oh God, someone tell me when excessive spending was found to be more financially prudent than savings.

Fuck our government has never heard of "saving for a rainy day". They are THE WORSE MANAGERS OF OTHER PEOPLES' MONEY!

So you did not read the article. You don't want to know the truth nor do you want to speak the truth. These guys do exactly what you are doing.

"the Air Force's contract description doesn't help dispel suspicions. As the text explains, the software would require licenses for 50 users with 10 personas each, for a total of 500.

These personas would have to be,

Pentagon: Drone pilots, cyber warriors might get medals after all
[link to www.stripes.com]

"The Defense Department will reconsider the sensitive issue of whether drone operators and cyber warriors will receive a medal for their service far away from combat areas"


"cyber warriors" are govt paid disinfo agents.
"cyber warriors" are shills
"cyber warriors" are trolls
"cyber warriors" are provocateurs


Deceptions and crazy talk never stops when the USA govt "cyber warriors" are around to "explain things" to us. They make me laugh.

And don't forget the high admin salaries. That can blow the budget right there.

FDR was absolutely right, and we need to start thinking in these terms instead of reacting to each issue like it just sprang like Venus out of the foam crested seas. All of this stuff is planned with a long term agenda behind it.

And where might that be, pray tell?

So we know that you have no education, like at all. Capitalism is a pyramid, to support "Capatain's of Industry" you need countless peons. Used to be everyone understood that men need to work and getting greedy enough that your average working man cannot support his family just caused a bloody revolution. Some are going to re-learn that lesson PDQ.

And parents still have to buy the kid's school supplies. The system needs to crash and burn.

People are starting families on welfare. Why not on minimum wage? Guess you would get government help then. Anyway, if you want a family then start one because there is never a right time to do it for most people. What is life about anyway? Just working your butt off? It is about family.

Indeed, which shows how much easier it is for those in poverty to lift themselves out, since it is non-whites with the highest percentages living in poverty, thereby having greater access to scholarships.

Tears for my white men, who championed enlightenment and everything good in this world, only to have it shat upon by all the gibsmedats, feminazis, libtards, and homo fringe.

There are tons of rural places to live. Small towns are great. Do some research. Start with the east and move west.

I can't believe that corrupt scumbag Brown is still govenor.

My friend works at Walmart and has a mortgage on an inexpensive home. He has a roommate to help pay it off. He lives in a small town.

But remember people didn't have much expenses back then. My parents had one car in the beginning. No cable, no computer, no mobile phone. My mom stayed home and cooked everything basically from scratch and even sewed. Now, my mom grew up in a house without electricity on a farm so that was even less expensive. It is expensive raising a family now because we require so much that are not needs or at least didn't use to be. People want the best of everything. If you live a simple life it is easy to raise a family.

Really? The wealthy pretty much live off the backs of the poor with higher charges and less access to financial services simply because the wealthy don't want to pay what is required to be a self sustaining person in our financial world.

Your bills are 1500 bucks, we'll give you 800 for working 32 hours but you have to be available for any shift, meaning you cant have a second job. Good luck with that.
