Between $15 and $20, those are the going paid by the hour rate for painters, drywallers, concrete…ect. A lot of the guys I know are begging for workers. And the food service industry is begging for workers to. The deli at my local Trigg’s closes at 6pm due to lack of staff. Pisses me off that I can’t get my tuna salad on my way home.

Every place around here is $17-25/hr and offering sign on bonuses, Burger king is $19/hr with a $1000 sign on, guy is legit standing on the corner of it with a sign, can't find work please help and people stop and give him money.. He's one of the hundred local heroin addicts that roam the block I work on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine with cutting off long term unemployment and welfare. I got no problem sending people to work no matter who they are as long as it’s something they can live on.

Humankind has always had a bad element, but don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good…I stole that line from a politician, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are doing minimum work ethics, minimum effort and minimum value to the company they are worth minimum wage. Not some imaginary number of what they think they need to live.

Phenom Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Here’s a little story of my own because I’m such a generous guy with way too much money. When I go for breakfast the place is packed with over 50 tables. I tip the waitress as is customary, but I also give the Mexican guy who is there like clockwork warming up my coffee a buck. Now one dollar ain’t shit, but if others did the same, an extra one dollar per table, that coffee guy will be making $25 or more an hour. And that’s not too shabby. He takes care of me, I take care of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who is left to work. Non farm unemployment is down to 5.2%. In a perfect world that still leaves a massive labor shortage.

stinkipinki Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Is Mainecat actually a conservative?

He's one of the hundred local heroin addicts that roam the block I work on. Yup, the raising of minimum wage has been accomplished without a law. Give money to stay home, then force businesses to have to up the rates. I'm ok with doing it that way. Supply and Demand. If I see someone on the corner of ANY place with a sign begging for money, I roll up and say "There are three places in the strip mall right behind you looking to give you money every single hour!" Problem is, these people make MORE money standing there. There was a guy 15 or 20 years ago standing on the corner of one of the local rag TV stations begging for money, and someone in the news room finally got the nerve to follow the guy "home" after his begging. He walked about 7 or 8 blocks, got into a Mercedes, and drove home to his suburban house. Quite the entrepreneur.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
