As in retired from a career, and now doing something different (farming). I am retiring from my current career in about a year, I am attending college right now so I can start a new career (teaching) once I retire from this job.

autism ZX spectrum posted:Somehow the idea of farm life somehow being more eco friendly than city living is stuck in the mental conscience and it's dumb beyond all comprehension. I think that's why a lot of rural voters are conservative. They're single issue voters in as much as they'll vote for whatever keeps the diesel cheap. farmers voted en masse for the guy who promised to expel their labor force and destroy the market for their products through trade wars. it’s like they specifically voted to gently caress themselves over.

If you think it's too expensive to pay someone decently for doing work for you, then you should simply do the work yourself. Make the lovely sandwiches yourself instead of sitting in the back office all day being angry that your staff get money for their labour, Gordon.

Even if costs go up By definition a limited portion of production factors going up in price by X% is only going to increase aggregate costs by X/Y% So if you are he guy getting the X% raise, you are going to end up ahead even in the most naive, worst case scenario. Imagine if people argued that increasing the price of lumber by 10% was going to increase the cost of all goods by 10%. People are criminally dumb.

I really hope this shitbag 'cost of doing business' fee restaurants are adding to try and turn folks against the new min wage increases backfire terribly. Like sign me the gently caress up if all it costs to get everyone to a livable wage is paying an extra 7-15% on luxuries like eating out. It'll be wven sweeter when it goes public actually that 7-15% also includes padding for the greedy capitalist. But we know there has to have been extensive focus group testing that shows 75 cents (and it's always 75 cents) was the exact sweet spot to get boomers mad and mobilized about gubm'nt but too lazy to actually consume less.

As a business man I hae the idea of my employees having dispensable income to spend elsewhere, which will return to me in the spending of other waged persons. I'm smart and a captain of industry, now watch this drive.

The dirty poors taint any bill they hold. Ruining the magic.
