Day four: 🍻🍺 vs 🎓💰

While some issues are being discussed, one isnt HECS DEBT. We can talk about having a beer with the Prime ministerial candidates but not EDUCATION costs and spiralling debt.

While we’re at it. UNEMPLOYED? Has the living allowance been raised? At all, does it match inflation? Is it below the poverty line?

@Brad_Rosenheim Lady, have you tried paying a #LivingWage ?
My guess is that you aren't.
"The American worker doesn’t like labor, they don’t like to do laborious jobs,” Carlson said. “They don’t want to do the hard labor, and that’s what’s frustrating, because we would love to hire U.S. workers, but we can’t get them to show up. We can’t get them to follow through. We can’t get them to finish the season.”

"Minister for Economic Growth Nicola Willis wants to axe one third of 71 rules which include paying the Living Wage in contracts for cleaning, catering and security guard services."

rnz.co.nz/news/national/544637

This tells you exactly what the NatACTs mean by "economic growth"; taking money from the pockets of workers - even during a cost of living crisis - and moving that money into the pockets of business owners. Then pretending they "created" it.

Ards and North Down Borough Council is now a Real Living Wage Employer, thanks to Green Party councillors Barry McKee and Lauren Kendall. This milestone ensures fair wages and financial security for workers, setting a crucial example in a region with high low-pay rates. The Greens have delivered tangible results, following their earlier success in Belfast City Council. 🌱

Councillors Lauren Kendall & Barry McKee standing outdoors in a wooded area, smiling and holding a large sign that reads "We are a Living Wage Employer" in blue, white, and multicoloured circles. The sign promotes the real Living Wage campaign. Overlay text reads: "GREENS DELIVER REAL LIVING WAGE," and the Green Party Northern Ireland logo is displayed at the bottom.

Sub-living wage jobs should be illegal.

All jobs should come in fixed blocks of either 20 hours or 40 hours per week, chosen by the employee.

Cities, Counties, and States should send a bill each month to every corporation for ever dime of means-tested benefits and services provided to their employees (w/out naming them, of course).

Multiple jobholder rates are the highest they’ve been since the Great Recession 5.4% of American adults were juggling more than one job last month — the highest share in 15+ years. Hyunsoo Rim, 3/10/25 For more and more US adults in the current economy, it seems like just one job is no longer enough. According to Friday’s job report, the number of multiple jobholders in the US surged to a record 8.9 million in February, the highest figure since data tracking began in 1994. That’s 5.4% of all employed workers — a level last seen in April 2009.

Every dime of exec compensation & shareholder dividends is money that was not paid to the workers that actually generated the revenue.

Refusing to pay living wages is theft from workers, period.

Every city, county, and state should bill each corp monthly for every dime of money spend paying social safety net funds to their workers (without naming names). And revoke their biz license if they don't pay up.

The Icarian @The_Icarian@federated.press Quoting Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie People seem to be confused. When workers are paid less than a living wage, they're forced to rely on taxpayer funded social safety nets to survive. That's not a taxpayer "handout" to workers. That's a taxpayer handout to corporations.

The Great Prosperity: 1947-1979 after the new deal but before Reaganomics took hold

The Great Regression: From 1980 until the present, as neoliberalism successfully stole the value of improved productivity, paying themselves overvalued compensation but paying workers little.

The 80% difference between what you're worth based on productivity and what actual average wages are is the work you're giving away for free.

Violet Madder @violetmadder@kolektiva.social @passenger @Benaresh @voxofgod @magitweeter @HeavenlyPossum There was a neoliberal coup around 1970. The assassinations of various civil rights leaders and JFK mark a fundamental shift in power and policy to a truly cursed paradigm. It took about a decade to restructure the system, then by the 80s we felt the suction in full swing. This de-coupling of productivity from wages shows the rug being pulled out from under us all, and the working class mortally bleeding out.

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:

“Capitalism has long excelled at convincing individuals that their struggles—whether they stem from ‘mental health issues,’ financial instability, or general discontent—are personal failings rather than symptoms of a flawed system. This pervasive form of gaslighting distorts the reality of historical and systemic oppression, framing personal hardship as a matter of individual responsibility.”
