re There is no labor shortage only labor exploitation

San Francisco CA

Description

Throughout history the adage, stupid people say stupid things has held true. Perhaps the OP should consider that the next time it decides to try to explain economics to anyone. We are well on the way to seeing 15 to 20% inflation during just the first year of biden and his side kick, mud puddle. Any increase in wages to the unskilled workers will only add to inflation but will be necessary to compensate for the purchasing power of wage earners. You may get the $15.00 an hour you believe you deserve but your purchasing power will decline much more than the added compensation. I have no doubt we will be seeing a loaf of bread costing $8.00 in the near future, milk at $10.00. Another truism is, the more you have of something the less it is worth. This applies to money as well as currency. I was always told while growing up that if I wanted to make a good living I should learn a marketable skill. I learned several. My suggestion to the OP is to do the same. Just because you want more money for menial labor doesn't compute in the labor market. Most people get paid for their actual worth, not for what they believe their labor is worth.
