Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@jacobp.2024 says : Funny thing is that 50 USD today has the same buying power as 7.50 had back when it was first mandated. A lot of the US has been gentrified and the cost of land and living has risen at ridiculous rates. I'm surprised 15/hr took so long to become a thing.. When the dollar had already inflated 5-fold from what it was. No excuse for Americans to be destitute working 60-80 hour weeks standing on their feet, no matter what their job is. If a man works hard, long hours in any industry, service or otherwise, they should be able to provide for themselves. It's crazy to me that people think otherwise..>> <<@billschnelzer9943 says : Ignorance has no clue!!!...>> <<@MrJohnnymarlboro says : Well-over-fair>> <<@rogueranger7989 says : Definitely put You in a different Tax bracket!>> <<@shadowgunner69 says : Unfortunately she will comfortably keep her office. She's not even concerned about clearing out her desk. Is it just me or did they buzz Garvey much quicker than Lee? I just timed it, they belled Garvey at exactly 20 seconds. They gave Lee 60 secs and they let her prattle on past the bell. I'll hesitate a guess that the majority of the workers in question are from 3rd world cultures. They are undereducated, honorable and hard working people, from cultures that might not see self-improvement as a thing. Their parents were farm workers, tailors, handymen, landscapers, cooks, servers and etc., and so are they. That's will they believe they should always be.>> <<@Dan-gi7yz says : So she wants to run small businesses out of business. SO MUCH FOR AMERICAN VALUES .>> <<@Not-nice says : Where do they come from up with these people ???😜😅🤣😂🤯>> <<@angelaefferson8620 says : This woman looks just like Biden ( senile as hell ) look at her , up there looking like a fool , she knows damn well employers are not and can't pay that , perfect example of people just saying anything so they can get elected and some dumb people will vote for her>> <<@Alan-yt8vq says : Everyone would love to have $50 minimum wage, but it won't work in small business. If it was more of corporate business then yeah it could work.>> <<@maxpower6658 says : Within six tenths of a second we know she has No intention of answering the question. Of course the only man on stage gets no time to respond.>> <<@danielbell7855 says : This is nothing more than the cloward piven strategy to bankrupt the country so they can form their nwo>> <<@thenaughtyamericanexpat says : As a former California resident, the only reason I ever return is to visit family, loved ones and the beaches. Fiddy bucks minimum wage nationwide? Dayum!>> <<@joshuaheart2764 says : You like the idea of paseos to dollars??? Wakeup Americans. They are trying to destroy the middle class. Socialism.>> <<@scottjohnson7780 says : What a surprise, another bonehead idea from a California politician. What Lee needs to be asked is whether she received public funds to run her business - I bet she did.>> <<@gonegitty says : LOL!!!!!!>> <<@DerpMcDerp101 says : I’ll take it. 20 is the new 5. They can’t lower costs they printed too much money making your dollar worthless. Everyone who’s got a pension comming is getting about 60% less that they thought they would.>> <<@SabrSuave23 says : Who votes for these clowns????>> <<@PUNISHmedia says : Election Year Theatrics from Rep Lee (and everybody)....its all a show, folks>> <<@mattliesch7047 says : So, because California has a terrible economy, the rest of us should suffer?>> <<@azimmer says : that is stupid companys will just raise there prices to offset the cost....this woman is an idiot>> <<@sheepbay3 says : I ♥️ Black logic. 🙂>> <<@konglee7284 says : She got my Vote...>> <<@Sldejo says : $82.00 Big Mac.>> <<@AbronHawkins says : You wonder why California will be marching towards bankruptcy? It’s Democrats like her>> <<@LamontezTezlamon says : And bread would immediately become $12.37 a loaf.>> <<@davec69us says : The only person that will make $50/hr will be the one, robot maintenance technician.>> <<@davidjensen6002 says : $50 an hour minimum wage would rise the coast of a meal at McDonald’s to $500>> <<@davebenz8271 says : So Barbara Lee wants to create massive unemployment.>> <<@pepperspray7386 says : with critical theory it doesn't matter how good things in america are, it must be criticized. america elects a black president and suddenly america is more racist than ever... think about it.>> <<@allday2772 says : THE DUMBEST PEOPLE HAVE A SAY IN THINGS THEY SHOULD HAVE NONE IN>> <<@desroth says : "104,000 is barely enough" So lets ensure that 104,000 is still the bottom by making minimum wage is 96,000 a year. Interesting. Not entirely certain she even understands anything at all.>> <<@devancebowen says : All you can do is 😂😂😂😂>> <<@kellybrown403 says : I was a state worker I enjoyed it it was good but the politics of it after 15 yrs I quit I should have yrs ago but hard to walk away. Keep lining politicians pockets that’s the bottom line>> <<@markreeves2491 says : Ludicrous ! 🙄>> <<@pm5206 says : Minimum wage is feel good scam. We do need people to be paid fairly and also be able to have a living wage. But government constantly getting involved and the one size fits all approach is not working. That’s why I am not entirely against the concept of “living wage” or minimum wage. But the current system is unsustainable. More people will feel alienated and more will either vote for socialism (far leftism) or far right extremism.>> <<@davemo04 says : Minimum wage should be zero across the board. These tards have no clue what they are doing and are placating to their voter base who also had no clue. If minimum wage is 50 bucks, everyone else’s pay should go up commensurate with that. Then prices go up and you are back where you started. I know there are a lot more parts to this but as its core it’s just asinine. Living wage is a misleading term. It’s different for everyone. You can only define living wage if you also define everything about that person/families life. Their house, the food they can buy and eat, how they can travel, their recreation decisions… if those are not rigidly defined then living wage means absolutely nothing. It would be nice if people thought for themselves but that’s not going to happen anytime soon.>> <<@samlsd9711 says : If that's the case, the cheapest rent will be 5000 dollars a month. Please don't advocate for high minimum wage.>> <<@samlsd9711 says : Well small businesses better shut down or work themselves. hoare are they paying 2000 cheapest rent and make 7/hr or 15/hr..... ridiculous.>> <<@AlginStrickland says : The mass layoff of Pizza Hut drivers should say it all!!! I miss Dr Walter E Williams.... He had great example of the laws of supply & demand..... Or Herman Cain....>> <<@unusualsheep9626 says : Bread would be 50 dollars.>> <<@user-kt4km9df3f says : As if inflation wasn't out of control already, this is going to sky rocket nearly everything to unaffordable.>> <<@trollhunter6934 says : This should be manditory, but ONLY in large corporations>> <<@oneenigma4u says : Understanding it to be a zero sum game. Raising minimum wage will cause inflation to creep up. If everybody was making $50 an hour. Then a big mac meal would cause fifty dollars. The biggest problem is it will cause the u s dollar to lose its value amongst other currencies. Other countries will rationalize. If america can give these large amounts of cash , so it's citizens for doing seemingly nothing. That it must not be worth that much.>> <<@Elemental_Entity says : Can't wait for that $200 Big Mac.>> <<@oneenigma4u says : What some people don't realize. It also has the potential to spark out of control inflation. Because any money put into the system has to be taken back out. That's how the system has the function. It's almost a net zero game. The one percent can maintain a higher amount , but the other ninety nine percent must give the money back>> <<@TSPH1992 says : I only have a little bit of understanding of economics so my knowledge is limited. But 50 an hour will raise the costs of basis necessities like food, clothing and water to unsustainable levels. Not even The Netherlands has such a high hourly minimum wage, because it could cripple their economy.>> <<@oneenigma4u says : 3:13 To answer the question about tradesmen. They will simply just raise the cost of their service. So instead of it being eighty dollars for a plumber to come by for a house call. You might now be paying 220. It's all connected>> <<@CombatVeteranUSNAVY says : That's a great idea. I'm sure no one would mind paying $25.00 for a pack of gun.>> <<@shawniriel5962 says : WHAT????? THIS IS A NUT JOB.😮 It's time for another Tea Party again. We need rules or laws, so we can fire these Clowns when they get elected and are found out there nuts. We shouldn't have to wait for another election. Fire them now.>> <<@redcape4205 says : This is nothing better than a publicity stunt😂>>
