Thank you Biden. Iām so glad that you find the need to smother small businesses in favor of multinational corporations. Iām so glad you think that just printing money (Much like all democrat politicians seem to) is the answer to every problem. Iām so thankful that you getting elected has resulted in our economy crumbling around us, where gas prices will reach $6-15$ a gallon. Where Milk will cost $8 for a half gallon. Where bread will cost $6 for the off brand.Ā
Now for those still reading let me make something clear. Biden was to worst case scenario to be elected. Trump contrary to popular belief was not a fascist. Fascists donāt getĀ āvoted outā. Fascist also rule with absolute authority. And the media lied about him and smeared him relentlessly. Does that mean I liked him? No it doesnāt. But the economy boomed under him. Now all thatās going on is us waiting for hyper inflation.Ā
So to the TITLE of this post. āWe Are Closedā is trending 3 in the US on Twitter. And most of the tag is a bunch of entitled Americans, whom think everything should be a right for them. Our parents and grandparents often times had to work 2-3 jobs just to make it. And did that suck for them? Yes it did. But here is what you need to understand. Small town jobs exist. Small city chains exist. Mom and Pop shops exist. And a lot of you are out there saying they should not be allowed to exist. And let me explain why you are a moron.Ā
Small Business Running Expenses etc:
Rent for Building (The better the location the more the rent)
Cost for Resources (Groceries, Silverware, Raw Material for products your business makes, cleaning supplies etc)
Cost for licenses to operate (Several in some cases)
Cost for any and all Inspections needed to open and continue running
Cost for any repairs and renovations
Insurance on your business and anything it possesses and sales
Costs for Security Measures
Salaries to your employeesĀ
Things they donāt tell you about running a small business
You still have all of your own bills to pay (Rent, property tax, food, health insurance, family, car Insurance, gas, city/state/federal tax, etc)
You will probably need a loan to even open a business
You will likely be paying off that loan for years and will be in debt most of if not the entire time
If you are competing with fast food chains or multinational store chains you will either fail in the first 2 years or you will barely keep your head above the water.Ā
In short, I get miffed when entitled little shits complain that they should not work because unemployment is paying them more. YEAH BECAUSE BIDEN IS A MORON. He is the one extending the unemployment bonus. And do you know why I hate everyone saying,Ā āWell if your business canāt afford to pay living wage then you have a shit business model and shouldnāt be running a business anyways.ā BECAUSE ITāS STUPID. So basically what you are advocating for is for Walmart, Target, and Amazon to get much MUCH bigger than they already did during lockdowns. Meaning their top brass line their pockets a LOT MORE. Meanwhile we devolve down to a system to only allows multinational businesses to exist, creating monopolies.Ā āHur dur you can always start a new business you just have to pay your employees $50 an hr hurdurā. You. Are. A. MORON! Do you think Walmart went global in a day? A month? A year? NO. It took years to decades for them to become what they are today.Ā
Also letās go over the myth ofĀ āMinimum living wageā as a broad standard.Ā
How much are the taxes where you live? City, State, Federal? Ok how much is the house you live in? The apartment? The condo? The colonial mansion? Notice a trend there? No two people at the same job are gonna have the exact same bills. Maybe Iām a single male, no kids, living in a condo. I donāt get sick often and I eat very little. What do my bills look like? OK, now Iām a Single mother of 2 living in a 2 bedroom apartment, my family eats a lot, the kids are constantly sick, they go through clothing very quickly and add school to that.Ā
Do you see what Iām getting at? Businesses canāt just PAY what ever the highest possible denominator is because they would go bankrupt. Minimum living wage as a broad scale is a fallacy. Each person has a minimum living wage but they canāt just pay each person that either because people will grip when they are getting paid less than other people. And itās discriminatory, and it also incentivizes the workers to live in the most extravagant places possible. So consider this for a second. When businesses have to raise minimum wage they often cut hrs or layoff workers/cut down their work force. To that end the decision you meet is this:
A: Pay 20 people $10-$12 and hr
or
B: Pay 5 people $15-$16 an hr (and layoff 15 people)
Because that IS the option. 20 people with money even if itās not the most they could have. Or 5 getting paidĀ āliving wageā and 15 with no money and no jobs. *And before the commies or socialists come in talking mad shit, NO, your systems donāt work. They can not ever work outside of 50 people or less, with near iron fisted rule. So kindly screw off.*
Oh and another fun fact you donāt seem to realize. Walmart actually will force retirement on to people after 15-20 years because they donāt want to pay out the amount of money those individuals make. Iāve personally seen it happen. Meanwhile the top 20% of the business and itās shareholders are getting more and more rich because of entitled little shits who just donāt want to work. Then you all have the nerve to shit on businesses that are likely to DO their best to take care of their employees, mostly because itās still small scale and you get the best out of your workers when you take care of them. (Not to say it will always happen but more often than not it does)
