Bros how does this end inflation is killing me

>> No.55810153

$30/hr is the new $20/hr, the bare minimum to survive and have even a slight sort of life.

$40/hr is the new $30/hr, the minimum to own even a starter home and build something.

If you’re under these thresholds something is terribly wrong and you need to get an education or skill right now. even these figures are minimums too, if you don’t have a clear path to $50-$75/hr you’re not doing much more than treading water.

it well take years for this inflation to slow. maybe the rest of the decade, people have no idea how much printing occurred during the coof. it was beyond reckless.

Its true. I make $35 trudeau tokens an hour doing skilled labour with a decade experience (im not easy to replace) and my manager was humming and hawing about a 3% gesture inflation raise. Considering quitting at the start of the busiest time of the year to go to a competitor. I own a home and have no kids and my even with the wife's pogey on top of my income our debt is growing and not shrinking.

Tired of these lame attempts at baiting in OP.

Retards how many times do you all have to be told:
"UP TO X$ AN HOUR"

Managers make the price shown up to, wagies make the 12$ up to 17$ if very lucky.

Ok but even $17/hr to flip pizzas is like a 100% raise from what it paid in 2016. there is no doubt the currency is catastrophically devalued, I’m not sure these places won’t be paying $25/hr by 2026.

>> No.55810382

>>55810348
How do these companies keep up with the labor costs? I know the cost of pizza is going up, but there is going to be a point at which people aren't willing to pay the $20/pizza that it costs for the wagies and other overhead. The Fed is so concerned with a soft landing that they're dragging their feet and I'm afraid it's going to make things much worse.

Drop in commercial real estate demand due to economic stagnation and WFH. their rents aren’t going up that much but they can still raise prices. the fly in the ointment is labor, but $22/hr still isn’t really a living wage so at the end of the day they’ll pay it if it means staying open more.

the party ends when WFH gets cut off (already started) amps the demand and rezoning occurs which dwindles the supply of commercial real estate. that’s when we start getting into stagflation territory, which is when this whole thing gets really bad and the “soft landing” feels like a distant memory.

The cost of cheap dining/fast food/whatever has gone absolutely ballistic in the last decade and I've noticed some hilarious amounts of shrinkflation. A BLT at the diner nearest me used to be $6.99 and come with a cup of soup and fries. Now it's $10, 25% smaller (roughly) and comes with no sides. Fries are $3. Soup is $3. $16 for less sandwich. Getting a fucking casual lunch with a cup of coffee is $20+tip now. Who the fuck is paying this?

Dining out took the place of big tobacco as the economically impervious sin industry. people can’t cook because they are deliberately not taught how (did you go to public school? Was cooking part of your cut HS curriculum? Why wasn’t it if it was going to be this thing you were going to need to do almost every day?) and more so they are just addicted to chemically perfected junk sold at 400% markup. they can’t stop, and since it comes out at these $15-20 increments they never grasp the reality the same way they would if they paid an annual $13,000 bill all at once (that’s $35/day for 365 days, if you count alcohol that figure can easily double or even triple).

Well put. Psychologically, it's gone from something I can enjoy on a regular basis to something I have to justify.

It's not like revenue has changed all too much. People are going less often. I know I basically only go when I feel like I really need that nostalgia trip back to better economic times. There definitely aren't nearly as many pack a day smokers as there used to be either. I can't remember the last time I heard someone use the phrase "pack a day". There always used to be a circle of people outside the bars smoking, you see almost none of it now.

On the Google ngram viewer the term has fallen off hard, and then if you look at the actual books referenced recently they're all talking about the past. They talk about how people used to be pack a day smokers. Smoking a pack a day just sounds like an alien concept with how much that shit costs now.

Meanwhile a 2BR is probably $2k/mo, split that with another person and your portion of the rent is down to only $1k. Or live in a 1BR with your girlfriend and pay $750/mo.

you do a job any person who is literate in english can do. the cost of replacing you isn't nearly zero the same way it is for the lowest of wagie jobs, but somebody could probably learn to do your job independently in about 8 hours.

honestly you should be earning less. the fact that you're at $25 despite being a totally replaceable wagie means you're doing something right. if you are diligent worker who can pass a drug test you should start getting certifications and actual skills. if you took this same attitude to something as trivial as CDL work (1 month course) you could be pushing $40 in about eighteen months. UPS is going to be paying their drivers $170k a year now. I would do that, you have maxed out at this current place.

pizza is a delicious, easy to eat food where the only clean up is throwing away the napkins and box. you can eat it standing up and its always a hit with other people. and you can't really cook it at home on a conventional oven, at least not properly.

its a bulletproof business. there's a reason pizza joints have been around way before the dining out craze and why there are so many pizza chains that have existed for many decades. the margins are outrageous.

If our government could stop printing fucking money a nd get inflation under control this wouldn't be a fucking problem.
Wages deserve more than 7.50 an hour and the labor market is currently reflecting this demand. People who blame inflation on wages are fucking retarded. Hopefully wages get more and more organized so we do an make larger and larger demands in the future.

I don't know man, I feel like in major cities at least people always had to have roommates to survive. Unless they were nogs in Section 8 or other subsidized housing. It seems to be a more recent phenomenon where zoomies and millennials think they should be able to afford to live in a place on their own because they're too socially awkward and stunted to be around other people.

Unironically yeah, even adjusting for inflation. People that worked before 2021 were getting fucked. I was a chemist at a pharmaceutical company making like $20/hr, gas wasn't much different than it is today, rent wasn't much cheaper. I eventually left the field, but I did get a call from someone that was my application online and offered literally double that to do the same job. I declined (NPNW), but that should give you anons an idea on how much better things are today for the modern worker.

The competent people doing WFH are effectively FI between being able to afford real estate when interest rates were cheap and the enormous amount of money you can shove into tax advantaged retirement accounts at those pay grades.

Most people on S8 are white. And no, it's a new phenomenon. You had to get roommates to live in nice areas, but you could always find an efficiency for a 1-person budget, either in a more rundown area or for a premium. But the premium was a stretch, not impossible.

Yeah, in the 80s/early 90s. From the late 90s through the 2010s, it wasn't keeping up with inflation. There was a small bump in the mid-2000s when the minimum wage was increased, but after Democrats took Congress, there was no political will to do that again, and I get the feeling that McD's purposely suppressed wages once the $15 movement started.

You can't stop what's about to happen. Cityside minimum wage shooting from 15 to 22 dollars an hour in under a decade is inorganic and severely unnatural. I can't say when things are going to go to shit, but we are at a point now where it is not if, but when. Fucking cope.

The stable yields themselves are not so high but when the incentives are factored in, the yields can get as high as 50%. These high yield pools are basically for users with a high risk appetite.
