Anybody notice how Second pretends constantly to care about the minimum wage, yet spends every opportunity he can to try to shame somebody who makes minimum wage?

More hypocrisy from our resident Dissociative ID.

Keep getting those Virtue points, Machiavelli.

Shut up, 6ix. Every job you ever had, you walked away from or they fired you. In the real world, if you are even remotely like you are here, I can see why it happens to you, over and over.

Layoffs aren't firing, dipshit.

But keep pretending you give a shit about anybody but yourself. We all know that you don't.

This guy is a mental invalid who gets $4500 a year in welfare handed to him. ^ Heed his wisdom!

Layoffs are firings. I was a construction engineer. When a project ended, they laid off workers, but kept the best ones for the next project. The slowest, the dumbest, the obnoxious workers got laid off, i.e., fired. 6ix, you fit in Group Obnoxious. By the way, it was easy for me to sort workers into groups because I knew everybody, knew what they did, and how well they did it. I had no mercy for poor white trash.

You need to employ your alternate personality to pile on, huh?

Why don't you worry about you like you always do, Second, and stop pretending like you give a shit at all about the working class.

We know that everything you say and everything you do is bullshit, and we certainly don't need a self-fellating head case like you speaking for any of us.

Have a nice day.

To quote 1kiki: "The minimum wage is such a small part of how the US economy is failing Americans - well, failing in general - that it's hardly an economic issue at this point. It's more of a cultural one. Democrats are not going to fix the economy. They have absolutely no intention of doing that." I wanted 1kiki to admit, but hasn't, that the minimum wage is small because the GOP blocks Democrats from raising it. It is such a simple piece of legislation that it is easy to understand how the GOP blocks it and will continue to block it until there are fewer than 34 GOP Senators.

Payday loans are harder to understand than minimum wages, but Democrats are all on one side and Republicans are all on the other. The Democrats want to control payday loans with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but the GOP is sabotaging CFPB. A case came to my attention: $5,000 loan with $287 per week interest payments. That's 300% interest rate. I haven't seen the contract, but Hobson thinks (not absolutely sure) she has been paying since 2018. She was upset to be told that in two years she would have paid $30,000 in interest on a $5,000 loan. We made a deal where I give her $5,000 to pay off the loan and she pays me $125 per week for 40 weeks starting this week.

What you don't seem to realize is that you keep talking about my life as if I should be bitching about it, and I'm not the one bitching about anything.

I don't make $4,500 per year. I easily live off of $4,500 per year and either bank the rest or put it into my house.

I'm fine, dude.

Worry about your money, like we know you do everyday because you don't have any and you're in debt up to your eyeballs.

Stop yourself for just a second, 1kiki. Please go look intensely at just the minimum wage. Come up with your own theory of why it has been stuck at one number since July 24, 2009.
You tell me - who was president in 2009? 2010? 2011? 2012? 2013? 2014? 2015? 2016?

MEANWHILE - why did the wages decline during Obama's presidency?

Queue Second bitching about Republicans in Congress.

Because he uses the same cop out every time he's asked about this.


And honestly, if he gives a single shit about this issue (which he doesn't) it makes me wonder why he even cares about Biden being elected since it's not going to change the minimum wage at all and in the alternate timeline where Biden wins the minimum wage isn't going to change in any meaningful way anyhow and he'd just use the same excuse for the next 4 to 8 years.
