What a communist. >_>
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
FDR was likely our Augustus, and Trump our Justinian. The empire is falling. Just a matter of time.
Printerman
lol we don't have minimum wage laws in most of Europe cause at least we can unionize
SomethingOtherThanMyRealName
When he clarifies it twice, he knows someone will try to twist his words. He knew who he was dealing with.
memepawn
Will you look at the time... I didnt realize it was repost-O'-clock!

Don't give a fuck what your job is, if you put in 40 hours a week, you should be paid enough to have a decent living and raise a kid.
Iwouldbenick
I have a "good" career and make "good" money with excellent credit. I am still forever stuck renting.
Hendlton
The amount of money that's considered "good" hasn't gone up with the prices. A lot of people still aim for that magical 60k a year.

He also created the New House Deal, essentially creating enforced segregation and redlining.
RussainBot
Meanwhile in, US citizens in interment camps....
prufock
I think it would be useful to have a more specific definition of "living wage."
Hendlton
Yeah. Cause you can technically live on bread and water in a rented cardboard box. And some people will hate you for wanting more.
RonSwanSong
?

He also understood recline laws. But whatevs
Subsound
It's funny because he was paralyzed

A job that pays minimum wage means that they would for sure pay you less if it were legal for them to do so.
DarkUranium
This feels relevant, also by FDR:

My company tries to pay me less than minimum wage with clock games. I play them back though
oakleaves
The “good” news (؟) is if they get caught they MIGHT have to actually pay you. If you get caught it’s theft!
iandanger892718
Never, and I mean never, poo off the clock.
Darkspire
A complaint to the Department of Labor and stacking 1000 dollar fines might change their policy there.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
It's mostly that they now track down to the second of when you clock in and out. So they pay accordingly but there was a lower pay stub
Enoan
I once had a boss who agknowledged that wage theft was the worst form of theft in the nation. He defined wage theft as clocking back in when
Enoan
he asked me to 'just do something real quick for him' and threw a hissy fit when I told him I had clocked in again for the extra hour of wrk
TheBeautifulUnicorn
Remember when that libtard socialist ruined our economy with excess spending and workers rights?
latenightdayman
He also creating redlining from the New Deal Housing…
TheBeautifulUnicorn
It’s true the New Deal did do that. Unfortunately racists policies are rampant in our history. My point still stands that 1/2
TheBeautifulUnicorn
workers rights, infrastructure spending and increasing minimum wage are not policies that negatively impact the economy. 2/2

I just realized half of Imgur won’t realize this is sarcasm. F*** it it’s worth it
m4uboy
you came out of that better than i expected.
TheBeautifulUnicorn
I’m proud of Imgur.
m4uboy
well let's not go crazy.

Any time someone brings up the teenager thing I ask them why fast food places don't close during school hours.
ICannotSanctionYourBuffoonery
Because the majority of the population filling minimum wage jobs are in their mid 30's, and have kids.
crypresthesia
In this case the majority is senior citizens
battery1979
Because plenty of adults eat fast food?
SaxophoneReid
Who's working there if all the teenagers are in school?
battery1979
I wasn't trying to imply people working there for more than a couple months don't deserve raises.
battery1979
A minimum wage should be just that a minimum. Companies should have yearly raises.
ITryToOnlyRespondInGifs
I don’t think you understood what they meant by their very valid argument. If fast food jobs are only for teenagers, how can they possibly>
ligmabolz
Some lady told me nobody wants to work anymore and all they do is depend on the government. She herself was not employed and on Medicaid >
ligmabolz
And had 3 surgeries done paid 4 last year.She didn't need a job,because her husband works.She wasn't a home body,their kids were in college
DotcoreJetkill
Teenagers quit school all the time when they have to pay for their own living
thesmarterdog
Because forcing people to be uneducated, politically impotent corporate serfs is exactly what we want to sustain & grow a healthy economy.
HandoB4Javert
"healthy"
rooik14
I know sarcasm is hard but that one was pretty obvious.
PhoenixPixel
Invest in human capital (paying for education) actually helps the economy by pushing out the production possibilities curve (more goods)
DarkUranium
Yes, but capitalism is basically incapable of thinking in these terms. Fuck the economy, as long as the rich end up on top.
