Benny's utopia

[Wildfowler]

I would like to discuss in great detail your utopian society.

The society where

The reality of owning a business is if you have to pay people less than it takes to live to stay in business, then you shouldn't be in business in the first place. Just because a business can run screwing people over does not make it legitimate.

To be clear about this, I think we should identify some key points on the front end of the discussion.

Who are we actually talking about?

Please identify the sex, marital status, number of dependents, mortgage or rent cost, Groceries, utilities, insurance, automobile, etc.

This is what it takes to live. So let’s figure out who were talking about and then begin the discussion.

Benny being back is the best thing to happen to this board in quite some time

Only if folks come back to point and laugh.

If someone agrees to work for said wage are you screwing them over?

Nope. They knew what it would be before they accepted the job. If they need more money, then they either negotiate a better salary if able, or they find a better job.

THIS. Free men are not told by the government how much they have to pay their employees. It is up to the potential employee to negotiate a fair wage with the employer.

This topic could get very interesting.

Businesses don’t go into business to create jobs. That’s just a biprodoct of making money. It’s a fairly simple equation where there is a benefit for (owner/stakeholders).

I’m finally figuring this equation out myself and understanding it. You have 3 options.
1) be the owner, make the rules, and inherit all of the risk of said business
2) align yourself to receive greater benefits while working g for the boss. Higher education, kiss ass, whatever it takes. I’d put more weight in kissing ass as apposed to working harder. Seems to payoff faster that way. If you plan to be the boss, may want to work harder. Routes yours to choose.
3) just except what you’re given. Net worth is hereby placed on you by someone else. Just don’t expect much if this is your route. If u can except that,you belong here.

How much you get paid is how much your willing to work for. The deal is simple, time vs money. You are trading your time for money.

Where is Benny? Seems like he’s not firing back?

[Wildfowler]

He probably sees his arguments crumbling before eyes as the trump economic recovery continues.

That’s just more anecdotal smoke and mirrors.
