Good. I just got back from taking my grandma to wal-mart--and she bought me a few things, bless her heart--and bruh for a place that fucking tries to advertise themselves with the slogan "Everyday low prices!" it was literally anything but
Fucking medium sized bag of cheetos was fucking $2.50 no fucking joke and that's not even the worst of it. go to wal-mart and see just how shitty our economy has gotten while everyone was distracted with the presidential race bullshit and other shenanigans
we're fucked unless we start paying our workers what they're fucking owed. you literally can't live on anything less than maybe $12/hour @ 40+ hours a week and don't give me that fucking high horse high pedestal bull shit like "DERRR WELL IF DEY WANT A LIVING WAGE WORK A REAL JOB NOT SOMETHING HIGH SCHOOL KIDS DO DERRR" Yeah dude because everyone is like you and has had all the same fucking opportunities and didn't commit any mistakes dude fuck off with that fucking shit. Not everyone is born with a diamond spoon in their colon and rich parents that do everything for them. Some people never even had parents.
Don't anyone even fucking try saying that shit to me I wish somebody would tho
You do realize that, if required to pay all of their employees more per hour, Wal Mart's prices will go even higher, right?
You seemed to have contradicted yourself there.
Shenti is just a beta so he doesn't understand stuff like that. He also doesn't seem to understand that those workers are already paid more than what they're owed, since the minimum wage bumps up the natural compensation for their labor.

These jobs are just entry level. It's really not anyone's problem but yours if you can't move up or onto a better job.
Learn some basic skills, not how to flip burgers or fry shit, but how to work and go to work everyday and not call off or be a complete asshole.
Move on
This, pretty much. It's mostly also just protecting jobs that will be made obsolete by automation within the next decade, so legislators should spend more time figuring out what's next. ---
