There has always been a correlation with crime and unemployment/poverty.

What idiotic take do I have in this thread?



It's just your general disposition, but in thos thread specifically, that CEO and other management pay and wealth disparity isn't a big deal

Why is it a big deal?

How does their pay affect you?

Has anyone argued they shouldn't be compensated well?

If regularly poisoning customers doesn't shut down Chipotle, I'm not sure anything will.

So answer who decides what is enough and how do you get to be the decision maker.

when is it enough money?
When he’s not worth whatever he’s being paid anymore. Just like everyone on minimum wage is literally worth less than what they are making. If you make minimum wage then by definition you aren’t even worth that. If the company could pay you less they would.

They expanded rapidly and kept their "buy local ingredients" requirement. And didn't look after quality of suppliers very well.

I hope those days are behind them. Their restaurants always seem every bit as busy and packed as the local Chick Fil A. But I personally haven't been to Chipotle in years. There are better options near me.

Knew that fourth grade counterpoint was coming. “Look pal, these guys have it pretty fricking easy compared to people dying of malaria in a worn torn country in Africa. So quit your bitchin.” Not sure you can compare the poor of the richest/most powerful country in the world to the poor of third world nations.

Not sure there’s really anywhere to go with this argument if it’s your true belief that not a single person in this country scrapes by.

Everyone, consumers, shareholders, etc.

It's bullshite that we let CEO's get away with giving themselves huge raises (queue Roger ThEy wOrK fOr ThE BoArD) for years while wages stagnated, pensions disappeared, 401k contributions dwindled, dividends were cut, etc.

How do we fix that? That's a hard question that can't be answered on a message board in 5 minutes. But people stanning for a continued increase in wealth disparity is insane l. It's like arguing that more poor people is a good thing.

It's not a belief. It's a fact.

Get out of the country a bit. It will give you some perspective.

It's like you think "wealth" is just one big pie, and the more the rich have the less you do.

Not wanting to lift people out of poverty is a weird belief. It helps everyone.

We can debate the vehicle to do it or if it's even really possible at this point, but just saying frick em does no one any good

I feel for the mentally challenged and physically disabled. Those people need to be supported. I dont feel anything for those unwilling to better themselves, and still bitch about their circumstances.

The key to a better life is individual, not collective. If you struggle, get an education, learn a trade, move to another location...

I don't believe that at all, but you are going to warp your belief of what I say because you've already predecided you don't like my opinion.

Is a better plan to keep promoting people through government dictated wages or putting a plan in place where people have skills and training to the point min wage isn't required? Raising the min wage just keeps the 2% of Americans who earn that or less, poor and with no skills.
Sure. Let’s do it. Either plan. Or a combination of those plans. But in the end, the left and the right only want to keep those people poor. So, nothing of substance will ever be done.
