This is because the Cold War ended.
Unless we can convince 80% of the world's economy to go back to living in a Socialist/Communist hell, US unskilled workers will have to compete against unskilled workers in the rest of the world, and the wages and benefits for US unskilled workers will never rise
Stop being a fool.... The same people behind the cold war are behind the low wages today....
Time to move to Mexico.
Brilliant idea moving to a country with even worse problems.... But at least weed is legal there right?...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz Considering the steady decline in Mexicans entering the US, I have begun to believe those problems are exaggerated.
@WonderWartHog99 Let me know how you like it there I need a good laugh....
I get so damned angry whenever I hear anyone say that the economy
is good.
The economy sucks!
Regular people are fucking suffering. As usual.
Kind of what the meme says....
@Lizard_of_Ahaz I know. Just reiterating. It's a real sore spot.
@KKGator Considering your Minimum wage is under 8.50 an hour that meme must be really dead on for your state.... Ours goes up another buck an hour in Jan... 12 an hour for companies with less than 26 employees and 13 an hour over that... Still too damned low to live on... One reason I support Bernie is he wants the national minimum to be 15...
