    Why is no one protesting the outrageous housing market. The main reason minimum wage isn’t livable is because the housing market is through the roof. Houses and apartments are more expensive than they’re even worth.

      I agree. Either lower the cost of living or increase pay, but something has to happen. People should not have to work 2 or 3 jobs to pay their bills.

      The elites and big banks are buying up all the properties and sending prices up because they easily out bid common people. and their doing it at such a high rate that sellers know this and that they can get more....so its a market trend that is causing the rise in cost. Why would banks and elite be buying up so much realty??? Its part of the agenda for "the great reset". We will own nothing and be happy they say. Banks usually hate holding onto homes. They are not in the realty or rental business. But there's a new agenda..... & This is them taking over the housing market so they can redistribute & reconstruct it their way. Just look up why the worlds biggest shadow bank, "Black Rock Banking System is buying up realty".

      I was unaware. My wife's company requires her to sign an employment contract, which basically states that anyone can be fired for taking a sick day (after the 3 they give you), no matter how sick you may be (hard to believe I know, but that is what it says). I personally don't want my sick coworkers coming in and infecting me, but this contract will certainly push that circumstance. Looked into it, and in the state of Georgia it is perfectly legal (and VERY common). Previously, I though unions had played an important role in the past, but may not be necessary in today's market. I've changed my mind on that. Employers routinely push policies that show a blatent disregard for employees well being. I guess greed is the underlying driver on this; I honestly don't understand it. But its very real

    It was my understanding that the new business model does not prefer loyal workers that intend on staying put in their jobs. The new model is the "revolving door" of hiring new employees, using them while they are eager, then getting rid of them before it comes time for their raise. I don't see why any worker would tolerate that business model and there is backlash to that business model. No one cares about their jobs or the consequences of doing subpar work. Why should they? There is no future for them. Plan your future settling up your Rot IRA and getting funds sent to it through *Credit Backdoors*

      Since 1980 wages have no kept up with the cost of housing, schooling, healthcare and other essentials. Good paying jobs cant even buy you a house in most major cities.

      Let's talk about the benefits for a moment...
      You want to make healthcare affordable? GET RID OF INSURANCE COMPLETELY. If there was no insurance, no one would be able to afford healthcare under the current prices and the healthcare providers would have no choice but to lower prices to a level that everyone could afford - and then everyone could afford it.

The new model is the "revolving door" of hiring new employees, using them while they are eager, then getting rid of them before it comes time for their raise. I don't see why any worker would tolerate that business model and there is backlash to that business model. No one cares about their jobs or the consequences of doing subpar work. Why should they?

He was expected to pay back the money--which had allowed him to rent an apartment and survive his unemployment. He fought it in court, and the court sided with him. But the former employer wouldn't let it go, and continued to insist he wasn't entitled to the benefits. If I could remember their name I would gladly shame them here.

They had time to think about what is considered “essential” work and workers. They had time to watch the stock market rally and government wringing their hands as they agonized and bickered amongst themselves when trying to decide whether to give a few measly hundred dollars to help people during a pandemic. People had the chance to see government work to preserve the status quo for businesses and the wealthy. Many people are taking the jump to work for themselves. Good for them! I’m excited that people are taking their destiny into their own hands. After all, isn’t that the American way?

Full time should be 34 - 36 hours instead of 40 hours. Go down to 4 days/8.5 or 9 hours per day, and give people 3 days a week off. It would also have a big impact on vehicle emissions and decrease overall traffic everywhere.

      The track we are on now is unsustainable. Historically, about 70% of our GDP has depended on consumers buying stuff. CEOs don't spend nearly as much of their income on consumer products as the mass of workers do - they can not keep the economy afloat by themselves.

    This makes me so happy. How can my rent keep going up every 6-12 months when no one is handing me income increases every 6-12 months to match these prices. Not everywhere but probably. Working 24 hours a day to afford an apartment you come to sleep and shower in.

      Over the course of 26 years in the workforce I was offered 2 pay raises (one of which was 8 cents an hour and brought me up to the same new rate for new starters after 3 years at that place). And at every job I got great performance reviews 🤷‍♀️ The easiest way to increase wages is to change jobs.

    VERY well done ! I say this with 40+ years in mortgage finance & banking working with credit bureaus. Different models and parameters are used by different industries but *850FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT* info is pretty much universal. If you're trying to max your credit scores, there is a happy medium between too many credit cards and none. Too many cards with zero balnce may actually hurt you in some cases. Even if you do not use them, you have a potential. To always pay cash & still have cards doesn't help your scores as well

    Get PAID! CEOs need to learn that they shouldn’t be making 400x more than those that they employ. We need more PAID leave, healthy work life balance, flexible hours, work from home options, daycare, benefits, profit sharing or stock options, vacation time, and the end of unpaid overtime, and lengthy commute reimbursement (if your company insists in being in an expensive city, either provide the salary required to live there, or offer reimbursement for time lost commuting).

    Can anyone remember when Congress raised the minimum wage? Even if an employer pays more than that, they often use that dollar amount to justify not paying enough by saying, "Well we pay more than minimum wage so be thankful." Yeah well that doesn't mean they pay anything close to an actual living wage.
