“Minimum wage isn’t the problem — PROFITS are.” “They say if minimum wage matched 1970s buying power, companies would go out of business. Back then? One job paid for a home, two cars, and a decent life. Here’s what they don’t say. In the 1970s, corporations ran on 5–7%... show more

Worker’s minimum wage is N30k per month, Bola Ahmed Tinubu just stumbled a few times at his inauguration and the only thing he could say was “Fuel Subsidy” is gone! He didn’t say next…Minimum Wage is now N250k! And now those who claimed this is good for Nigeria are stranded at home unable to pay their way to “work.# Those who said an increase in minimum wage would lead to inflation are not saying a 300% increase in fuel price will kill everyone, even the middle class (if there exist any). They don’t care about you #Revolutionnow

A $25 Minimum Wage Will Wipe Out Small Businesses "You know who's gonna take a big hit? That the small business owners that are paying 12/15 bucks an hour because it's a different cost of living. And you just wanna say, yeah, let's raise it from 7.25 to 25 dollars an hour." "Guess who can afford to pay 25 bucks an hour? The big companies. You know who can't? Small companies. Democrats indirectly love big businesses. They just love protecting these big businesses."

MINIMUM WAGE = MAXIMUM POLITICS 🍕 This Brooklyn pizza shop owner just dropped the most based, no-BS breakdown you’ll see all year. Frank from Paesan’s Pizza was asked what he’d say to people demanding “livable wages” for teenagers working cashiers at Burger King and Hooters. His answer? “Well, they live in their mom’s basement. What livable wage?” Then he went nuclear: The market dictates wages — not politicians, not activists. These are entry-level jobs for kids still in school or living at home. They’re meant to teach work ethic, skills, and how to climb: dishwasher → counter → manager → owner. Force “livable wage” math on thin-margin businesses (10-15% profit) and you get exactly what happened to Hooters — closures, skyrocketing prices, and workers replaced by kiosks and AI. He even says he wishes minimum wage was $25–$30 an hour… because he’d just charge more for pizza and make more money. But the numbers don’t work. This is the entire game in one video. Politicians don’t care about giving teenagers their first shot or teaching them the value of a dollar. They care about sounding compassionate while buying votes. Every time they jack up the minimum wage, they price the bottom rung of the ladder out of existence. The free market isn’t cruel — it’s the only system that actually creates real opportunity and real wealth. Mandates just create unemployment, automation, and $10 coffees.

Minimum wage hikes are unemployment machines that price the least skilled workers out of the market. It’s a price floor. If the value of low skill labor is below that line, the worker is priced out of a job. It does not magically make labor more valuable. In America Samoa, they cut thousands of jobs within 3 years (2007). In Seattle, a University of Washington study found that earnings of low wage workers fell as a result of hours lost (2015). In France, the minimum wage is so high relative to average pay that youth unemployment in the banlieues was at 25% for decades. In South Africa, households stopped hiring domestic workers they could no longer afford (2019). But if you’re an established worker who wants to eliminate the competition, it could be a solid move to support it.

I grew up with two parents who didn’t go to college but worked hard to get by. I’m not a billionaire. I’m a small business owner, husband, and father of two, and I understand what families are up against. Georgia’s $5.15 minimum wage is unacceptable. We need to raise it to at least $15 an hour and keep going, while making sure workers across our state are paid fairly. I’ll work every day to lower costs and make sure hard work pays off.

So Mike Johnson and many republicans are against banning Members of Congress from trading stocks because inflation makes their salary less valuable. Here’s an idea: if $174k a year isn’t enough for you, then resign and let someone who is willing to work the job do it. There are plenty of young people who would be willing to give up stock trading for that salary. And they would actually get stuff done. And if $174k isn’t enough for people to take care of their family, then how the hell is minimum wage?

New construction homebuilders across Texas and the South are in a full-blown, frantic panic—and the cheap labor party is officially over. 🚨🔨 General contractors are burning through their call logs begging anyone who can hang sheetrock to show up to the job site. Why? ICE enforcement swept through, the labor pool vanished overnight, and the few workers left are laying down the law: “The risk is too high now. You pay me $400 a day minimum, or I don't move.” Let’s talk about the dirty secret behind American homebuilders: They want American prices and Wall Street profit margins, but they built their entire empire on Third World wages. For years, these builders were getting entire houses sheetrocked for a pathetic $500 to $1,000 per home. Now, basic supply and demand just kicked in. Scarcity has arrived, the leverage has flipped, and nobody is working for pennies anymore. The irony? This reckoning is hitting at the exact moment builders are sitting on mountains of unsold inventory, drowning in mortgage rate buy-downs, and desperate to close deals. When are these multi-billion-dollar builders going to realize they have to pay an American worker a real living wage to get the job done? Drop your thoughts below. 👇

The idea that career politicians are completely disconnected from the financial struggles of average Americans is a valid critique, but the standard talking point of simply raising the minimum wage fundamentally misses the mark. Forcing a higher minimum wage doesn’t solve the underlying economic crisis; it merely triggers an immediate inflation spiral where the cost of daily goods and services jumps to absorb the new labor costs, ultimately leaving working-class citizens in a worse position than where they started. The "minimum wage" debate is completely missing the point. Everyone is fighting over raising wages by a few bucks, but that’s like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. The real crisis isn’t just what people are getting paid—it’s the fact that the buying power of the U.S. dollar has been utterly destroyed, while the cost of basic goods and housing has gone into orbit. Let’s look at the actual math using the ultimate benchmark of financial stability: buying a home. In 1970, the federal minimum wage was $1.45 an hour, and the median home price was around $23,400. A single minimum-wage worker brought in about $3,016 a year, meaning an average house cost roughly 7.7x their annual salary. It wasn’t effortless, but with a dual income or some careful budgeting, owning a home on basic wages was mathematically possible. Today, standard inflation calculators will tell you that $1.45 in 1970 equals about $11.64. But look at the actual cost of assets. The median home price has exploded to roughly $420,000. If you want to walk into a bank today, factor in current interest rates, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and strict debt-to-income limits, you don't need $11 an hour to qualify. You don't even need $25 an hour. When factoring in standard modern debts like student loans or car payments alongside the inflated cost of everyday necessities, a single earner needs closer to $70 to $80 AN HOUR ($145k–$165k/year) just to secure the exact same purchasing power and financial security a basic worker had 56 years ago. This structural gap hits on a massive point that raw home-price-to-income ratios completely miss: we don't buy sticker prices, we buy monthly payments. Comparing raw prices assumes you are paying in cash, but modern buyers are forced to absorb the real-world cost of borrowing and qualifying. Treating the symptom (the wage) without fixing the disease (the collapse of our currency's purchasing power and the artificial inflation of assets) is a losing game. If we just hike wages without fixing the underlying economy, the cost of goods just keeps chasing the new printing press. We don't just need higher numbers on our paychecks; we need a dollar that actually means something again.

Yesterday Fair Work lifted the minimum wage by up to 6%. This is obviously very hard on small business but very much needed for people on a minimum wage. The national wage hike is a massive win for the Government, which collects 30% of the raise in new taxes. Workers get crumbs after inflation and business loses money unless they pass those losses onto consumers starting a deadly cycle of inflation. To stop this deadly cycle People First is advocating for a number of changes to fix the structural imbalances put in place by reckless governments over recent decades. These are: 1) Stop Government waste - in particular subsidies for renewables, gold plated bureaucrat pensions and NDIS profit gauging. This will fund income tax cuts and lower inflation. 2) Tax offshore profit shifting more so Australians pay less tax here. This will also level the playing field so that Australian businesses can compete with foreign multinationals and stimulate growth. 3) Create an Infrastructure Bank to fund Infrastructure that will provide another source of income for governments other than taxes. Increasing the number of power stations, dams and ports will also increase the supply of essential services driving down costs for businesses and workers. To find out more please see our policies at

Younger American says the Boomer Generation doesn’t understand what’s going on in America, and was misled “Boomers are the only generation who has had more than what their parents had and more than what their children had. They've had more than any other generation in history, and they were told, and wrongly so, that this was because of their own merit. And because this belief in meritocracy runs deep with them, they actually think that it's our fault that the world is the way that it is. It's really not fair for us to be constantly gaslit by these people who had so much privilege and could buy a house on $16 an hour, or the equivalent they could buy a house for double minimum wage. I'm making double minimum wage right now, and I can't afford to move outta my parents' house” She then explains how the Boomer Generation is hoarding the wealth with no plans to ever let it go, even in passing

There are no jobs natives won’t do, only wages they won’t accept. The migrant behind the camera says “they say we’re taking their jobs… Aussie lads don’t want to work” The farmer replies “..young Aussies just wanna sleep in, go to the beach and drink beer… they don’t want to do this” From the migrant’s perspective, even a low Australian wage is 100x what a low wage is where he’s from, plus working here leads to permanent residency which leads to Medicare and other social supports. So it’s hardly a trudge for the migrant to take the role, seeing as though comparatively to staying home this endeavour will make him very wealthy. And the farmer must surely know that when pay is high enough to compensate for hours, conditions, and opportunity cost, an Australian will take the job. What are often described as “labour shortages” or “they don’t want to do this” are usually a reflection of employers’ preference for keeping wages low rather than a true lack of available workers, especially for lower skill requirement jobs. By increasing the supply of labour, mass immigration places downward pressure on wages and reduces workers’ bargaining power, allowing firms to fill roles without raising pay. This farmer could’ve got Aussies to do it, but he’d have to pay them an Aussie wage. He didn’t want to admit that, so he just said Australians are lazy, and the migrant worker gleefully agrees.

It’s expensive to be poor, especially in states like Oklahoma, where politicians pass laws to punish poverty rather than address systemic issues that lead to homelessness. SB 1854 criminalizes homelessness by fining or jailing people for sleeping on public land. If there are no shelter beds available and someone can’t afford a motel to sleep, how can they afford to pay a $50 fine for sleeping outside? It passed the state house 77-18 and now moves to the Governor’s desk. Oklahoma’s poverty rate is among the highest in the nation. At the state’s minimum wage of $7.25, a person must work 92 hours/week to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment. 90% of Oklahomans earning minimum wage are adults. Instead of criminalizing poverty, here are policy proposals the Republican controlled state legislature should pass: - Increase minimum wage - Paid medical leave - Child care tax credit - Affordable and habitable housing - Alternatives to payday loans - Expand Earned Income Tax Credit - State-level child tax credit

Nice of Darializa Ávila Chevalier to take a break from her usual anti-imperialist and “abolish the police” activism to go protest with Starbucks Workers United. She is joining in on the Starbucks boycott here as the baristas fight for higher wages, better benefits, more hours, and the “dignified work” they say they deserve. Starbucks is a pretty strange symbol of worker deprivation. In NYC, the minimum wage is already $17 an hour, Starbucks offers a unusually robust benefits package for food service, and the union has pushed compensation demands toward $30 an hour in some bargaining proposals. If that is “undignified work,” what exactly are we supposed to call jobs that pay far less, offer far fewer benefits, and require substantially dirtier, messier, and more physically demanding labor?

The homeowner paid to have a new roof installed, the roofing company gave them a good deal on the price and got to work. When they finished ahead of schedule, the homeowner claimed they didn’t have the money for the roof so the roofers came back and put holes in the brand new roof, was this justified or is it vandalism? I would do the same since they didn’t pay a dime for materials. I used to help out with my friend’s landscaping business in the summer during college break. We arrived at some fancy house on a few acres. They mapped out what they wanted done and we did it. They even said we did a good job but still refused to pay because they claimed they didn’t like the shade of rocks we used even though they are the ones who picked them out. We even picked up the rocks for them at the business they wanted the rocks from. It took us about three days to do the work not to mention my friend paid for the materials up front expecting to be paid back when the customer paid us for the job so we went back and undid everything, my friend even cut down some of their bushes out of anger which was wrong on his part but can you blame him? I am willing to bet most people would do the same. They called the cops on us but the police said it was a civil matter but did tell us to leave and we did.

#WATCH | In an interview with ANI, AAP MP Raghav Chadha says, "In today's time, Swiggy Zomato delivery boys, Blinkit Zepto riders, Ola Uber drivers, are a workforce on the back of which these big companies have become unicorns... In this entire ecosystem that has been created, if there's one group of people who are oppressed and under immense pressure, it's the gig workers. Today, the biggest problem they face is the tyranny of this 10-minute delivery system... To deliver goods to you in 10 minutes, that person engages in dangerous driving, becomes a patient of anxiety, and experiences fluctuating heart rate... If they are even one minute late, they fear being logged out of the app, fear losing their incentives, and also face abuse from customers...

#WATCH | In an interview with ANI, AAP MP Raghav Chadha says, "In today's time, Swiggy Zomato delivery boys, Blinkit Zepto riders, Ola Uber drivers, are a workforce on the back of which these big companies have become unicorns... In this entire ecosystem that has been created, if there's one group of people who are oppressed and under immense pressure, it's the gig workers. Today, the biggest problem they face is the tyranny of this 10-minute delivery system... To deliver goods to you in 10 minutes, that person engages in dangerous driving, becomes a patient of anxiety, and experiences fluctuating heart rate... If they are even one minute late, they fear being logged out of the app, fear losing their incentives, and also face abuse from customers... Their minimum wage and maximum working hours should be designated. They work 14 to 16 hours continuously in a situation worse than that of a daily wage labourer. No provident fund, no permanent employment, no job security, no paid leaves..." Watch the full interview on ANI:

MINIMUM WAGE = MAXIMUM AUTOMATION 🍕➡️🍔 Remember the Brooklyn pizza shop owner who explained why forcing “livable wages” on teen cashier jobs is economic suicide? Here’s the real-time sequel at Burger King. Government tells businesses: “Pay $25/hr for entry-level work meant for kids living at home.” Result? No more cashiers. Just kiosks, one manager, and two cooks. These aren’t jobs to support a family of five. They’re the bottom rung — the first step into the workforce. Force the math on thin-margin businesses and the rung disappears. Kiosks replace people. Prices go up. Young workers get priced out. This is exactly what the pizza shop guy warned about… now playing out in real life, especially in places like New York and California. Politicians in million-dollar marble buildings love to “help.” They just never have to live with the consequences. The free market creates ladders, teaches skills, and builds real wealth. Mandates just burn the bottom rung and hand the job to a screen. This is why we fight government overreach in our businesses.

🚨J-Cal on the Broken American Dream: “Boomers have absolutely f*cked these couple of generations.” “If you look at the cost of homes, the cost of education, the big problem in the US is wages have not grown except for people who have a lot of money already.” “If you wanted to start a family and you're in $100K in debt for your student loans, and homes have doubled, tripled, quadrupled in price when compared to your income, and we don't have real wage growth, that's an issue.” “And I think this will become the issue of the next election. We see Mamdani and the socialist movement.” “If you really want to make a compelling argument for the next election cycle, I think it's real wage growth.” “And if you look at minimum wage and this disparity between what top earners make and where minimum wage is in the United States versus other developed countries, there is a real argument here, even though we might all be free market individuals.” “This came out of New York this week. Slow gains in jobs in NYC for the first half of 2025. This is New York City. We clearly have some issues with jobs here, and young people are clearly having a problem.” “We're talking here about the American dream.” “Is it broken for these next generations? Low wages, high debt, no ability to buy a home.”

Dr Marie Tolan, "We have been in dispute with the Conservative government for 20 months and they have failed to present a credible offer, at all, during that period" Marie Tolan "We have lost 26% of our pay in the last 15 years and that means a newly qualified doctor who have completed five years at medical school, leaving with £100,000 of debt, is paid only £15 an hour" What they're asking for with pay restoration is to go from £15 to £20 an hour For context, one of my friend's cleaner charges £25 an hour. The Conservative party keeps talking about a high wage economy, so why aren't they matching or even improving doctors pay in relation to my friend's cleaner's hourly rate?
