dammit. You beat me by seconds!At least we got to the "quit buying avocado toast" portion of the discussion quickly.
Massive risk with LLCs to shield them? Try the massive risk of being an employee subject to wage theft and being thrown out on street if they lose a job.Yeah I just personally disagree. Notwithstanding some bizarre outlier circumstance, a 30 year old adult should NOT be living in mommy's basement.
I agree, if we are talking about multi national mega corps. But by far the #1 employer in the US are small businesses. And contrary to what you read about online, small business owners aren't sitting on yachts smoking cigars while paying slave wages. They deal with MASSIVE risk, stress, some years you make money other years are tight. There's a reason small business owner's statistic have much higher rates of heart disease and other stress related ailments.
First, that is not how inflation works. I know it seems intuitive but it's just not. Inflation is the result of more dollars in circulation against overall economic productivity.I have increased pay by an average of 30% since covid hit. I pass that 30% directly to the client. The client passes that on as well. Which results in.... inflation. Which means I am not paying staff enough again.
From my perspective, it's really not a wage issue, it's more of a work ethic issue. I'm in a professional/licensed field that requires a bachelors and most have a masters.
It feels like some kind of cultural shift for the lower skill/no skill jobs needed for small business. Our dog groomer has increased fees 40%. She's about to close her retail shop because she's losing customers and can't afford a space.
Says the clown with a dog groomer.Not everyone has to purchase a home. Rent for now while building up savings. Learn a more marketable skill to increase your income. Cut out all of the frivolous BS spending.
Pay rent to parents, lol. Of course it's a better "deal". But it's a huge detriment to growing into a mature adult when you can float around your parents house with little to no responsibilities.
Even renting is now much more expensive than it used to be thanks to NIMBYs preventing adequate housing from being built.Not everyone has to purchase a home. Rent for now while building up savings. Learn a more marketable skill to increase your income. Cut out all of the frivolous BS spending.

There is a really good youtuber named Caleb Hammer who goes through millenials budgets and spending. The VAST majority are suffering financially purely due to spurious spending or refusing to get a job. It's really insightful into the real problems with millenials and spending.At least we got to the "quit buying avocado toast" portion of the discussion quickly.

I've been on both sides. It is much MUCH easier to go work for someone else.
How fun, another boomer bitches about millennials thread. Filled with BS arguments too! I wonder where all these people refusing to get a job are with unemployment under 4%?There is a really good youtuber named Caleb Hammer who goes through millenials budgets and spending.

Yep. I've worked my ass off my entire life. I'm at a point where if I can do anything to give me some free time it's worthwhile.Says the clown with a dog groomer.

NIMBYs and tax policies have conspired to screw renters that is for sure.Even renting is now much more expensive than it used to be thanks to NIMBYs preventing adequate housing from being built.
Ah, random youtuber. I'm sure there will data/sources cited ...
Or landlords are colluding on pricesYep. I've worked my ass off my entire life. I'm at a point where if I can do anything to give me some free time it's worthwhile.
Sure, another good topic. During covid, the government showed landlords (both individual and corps) that if there's some kind of mini crisis they are going to have to eat shit. Now everyone is pikachu face shocked that landlords are no longer uncle bob with his spare lakehouse. The only group that can accept that risk are mega investment firms, typically foreign, who them more to hold assets than anything else.

This is not a COVID phenomenon, this has been happening steadily for years, accelerating after the 2008 financial crisis as adequate housing has not been built.Yep. I've worked my ass off my entire life. I'm at a point where if I can do anything to give me some free time it's worthwhile.

How dare people expect a business to pay them a living wage
Good for you. Too bad you delude yourself into thinking you're the only one whose worked their ass off their entire life.Yep. I've worked my ass off my entire life. I'm at a point where if I can do anything to give me some free time it's worthwhile.

What's your solutions to all this anyway? Have we entered the part of the discussion where the self-labelled small govt free market conservative demands govt action to deprive certain workers of their negotiative ability and force them to work for below market wages?
