Less funding for low income housing, but no minimum wage increase = working homeless?!

The Chump administration proposes a 15% cut in HUD funding while Republican led governments are nixing minimum wage increases. Homeless shelters are already full to bursting, so what happens to these people?

How is it acceptable to work a full time job in 21st century America, yet not earn enough money to avoid homelessness?!
They keep turning the screws tighter..then take away people's health insurance?

This is a ticking timebomb if there ever was..people can only take so much and here's where you get someone who perceives they have nothing left to loose.

OMG

Im not going to argue with you. You really need to think through the concept.

If the lowest person at Mickey Ds gets a raise to 15 bucks an hour. Everyone else who is earning more than that person will expect and deserve the same percentage of a wage increase or they won't work there anymore. If you're the manager and let's say making 15 now and the low guy makes 7.50. If the guy at 7.50 is given another 7.50 for doing the same thing how do you think the manager will stay? So now the manager needs to make 30 because he's doing twice as much and so on. Now the value meal that already cost over 10 bucks where I live. Is now going to cost me 20 bucks. I can promise you this I'm not paying 20 bucks for a double qp meal. A family with 3 kids isn't going to pay 60 bucks for Mickey Ds. Then the store closes and they all make ZERO! Great plan.

Now that's not only going to happen at Mickey Ds. It's going to happen everywhere. Think mathematics and it being an equation that has to balance out. The only way it stays balanced is if every variable is multipled by the same multiple. So salaries go up across the board. The goods we buy all go up by the multiple. So the very people who everyone claims this would help when its over are no better off. They'll have bigger checks and all their bills go up and they're just as far behind as they are today.

Jobs pay what the market allows. Anyone who thinks that working at Mickey Ds should be paying a salary that could support a family of 5 isn't thinking clearly. These jobs are starter jobs and or part time jobs. In other words entry level jobs. A place school kids start or new graduates. Then they should be moving on to better jobs.
Big rightie fallacy..

That's not how it works in corporations. I worked my way up $15k on base only to have them realize that starting base is way too low and they gave those on starting base a $10k raise. I didn't get that $10k added to my base..all those years I spent there and put up with their shit and I received nothing.

A newbie with no allegiance, no track record was making almost as much as myself with 8 years tenure.

In theory, that would be the right way to do it..corporations are not exactly known for doing the right thing by their employees.

Do you not follow me? If you did, you'd know I've been complaining that (for this exercise we'll use Fortune 500s):

  1. MOP wants us to spend more and more for the lastest version of their overpriced shit from china.
  2. They refuse to increase wages for employees in order to afford purchase of latest version of said overpriced shit from china instead encourage additional employment to afford goods and services.
  3. They're reducing budgets that other businesses partners rely on for their company's revenue because THEY, Fortune 500s, have to cut back.
  4. They do not pay their fair share of taxes if they pay anything at all.
  5. They receive billions in tax cuts; instead of trickle down, share the wealth, they hoard their money. For trickle down to work, you must spend those tax savings in/on America.
Do you see how fast Nordstroms canned Ivankas shit once it stopped selling?:lol:

I shop smart and pay almost nothing for goods, smallest or most financially advantageous for ME..That's the key folks! and they're feeling it..got a call from a business I frequent to tell me I had $100 coupon deposited into my account for services, that's huge for that company I'll use the coupon for services that cost just over $100..see? it works! And they will have gotten nothing from me but single dollars..instead of the $600 that they want me to spend.:wink:

The consumer is so strong here, that if we got together and said 'boycott brand X this week'..we would bring them to their knees.

That's what we REALLY need to do and HOW we are going to do it..TARGETED BOYCOTT.
So what happened to the 6 figure job?

Why are you always whining about unfairness and blaming Jews/black people/men for everything?

Shepunk ruined anything you have to say. Obviously you cared little about the black/brown members here with that racist bullshit.
So please STFU
