racer254 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) This is the type of simplistic views that some idiots constantly want to believe as a valid comparison. Sorry, but after 10 years, if you are still working for minimum wage, you may be the problem. BTW, I have not changed the rent on my rentals even close to 66% like this is implying.

It's not talking about someone working minimum wage for 10 years, it's talking about how minimum wage isn't keeping track with COL. I mean, you can disagree with the premise but at least understand the point being conveyed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Was reading a trade rag tonight . A icf builder talking about how he is keeping guys . Pretty cool Instead of stuffing there 401k the company is putting there money in a account and after 5 yr they put that money and what ever else is needed in to a 3 car garage starter home free and clear. After that you can go for another in ten or start putting it in to a retirement package . Pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah very good idea, as long as the company remains viable and isn't like slave labor to work for. I wished i had a deal like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than 80% of the residential construction company's out there. 1099 and like it. Also says they hire a lot of greenhorn young guys. So fuck it a kid out if hs cam ha e a free and clear starter by tge time he is 23 . Not a bad start to life. And the guy is a icf builder so it is prob not a pos .

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 11, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) We are eating almost $2.00/hr increase per employee for our next HI renewal. Its great to look at MW but its such a small part of overall earnings for the overall workforce it should not be the focus. Its like changing all the bathrooms in the country for .5% of the population who don't know what gender they are. .28% in 2020 and likely smaller % of the workforce now.

How many people here are working for minimum wage at their primary job? Come on. Lets see what kind of percentages we are talking about.
