So much for $15 minimum wage.......

[LWW]

It is not helping with these price hikes, if you voted for this, you are still stuck right where you always been.

Try moving up in the career ladder, that’s the only way you will earn more.

Bro, nobody in this section is worried about some minimum wage cuckery unless they're the business owner.

Be careful BRO, soon the minimum wage will be what you are making.

I haven’t tried them but Checkers has 2 double cheese burgers for 6 bucks.

Ground beef has gone up though,don’t hurt me, I earn a masters salary. But it hasn’t done didly for the believers.

[mtpockets]

I earn a masters salary.

I have no idea what this is but I hope it has nothing to do with slaves, some people might want to take down your statue.

The minimum wage increase topic is one that always gets me laughing when talking to people that don't understand basic, common sense.

If you increase minimum wage, things will go up in price to compensate for that, which leaves you exactly where you were at say, $11.25.
People act like the minimum wage increase is free and won't come with adverse side-effects.

That & some business will just reduce their workforce and go machine because why pay people $15 an hour to take someone's order when a machine will do it for pennies.
And the upkeep to those machines would be simple fixes if they break or firmware updates that can be done via wireless installation.

It's worth the 10mins, IMHO.

lololololololol.

Have u ever thought he's coping cos he looks like that? The way he talks makes you feel good but it doesn't really have anything to do anything real IMO...just feel good words.

Didn't watch btw so might be wrong tho

Interesting question.

I suppose how real it is depends on one's perspective. Like all things we must interpret.

FWIW, I gain a lot of relevant insight from Eckhart toad-dude which helps me be more present.

You're not wrong.

There are more printed 100-dollar bills than printed 1-dollar bills.

40% of all dollars ever printed (printed physically and fabricated digitally out of thin air) happened in the last 12 month.

Major dollar users like China and Russia have been selling US Treasuries.

The petrodollar died a few weeks ago.

HYPERINFLATION is the end result. Go shopping today, then compare your grocery bill next week for the same items.

The $15 an hour hike is an excellent way to hide hyperinflation.

The real terrorist attack on America took place in December 1913.

It's that simple. Yet I'm the right wing nutjob.

It's no conspiracy, my friend. The data came directly from the biggest criminal banking cartel known to Humanity: the federal reserve.

Check out the fed's balance sheet on their own website.

Holy crap how can anyone listen to this guy? I watched for 15 seconds and I could not keep watching, he is waaaaayyyyyy to mundane and slow..

Wasn't suggesting a conspiracy (at least not a new one), just trying to understand. So you are talking about the Covid debt buy-back (pandemic quant easing)? I don't have figures to hand, and too tired to look now, but will check the figures soon. Thanks

It's somewhere in this absurd range, it's true. I'm just curious to see how long the currency can hold up to the abuse tbh. For now, much of the rest of the world is forced to go through the dollar for all kinds of trade which props it up, but nations are starting to distance themselves and there has to be a limit to how much moneyprinting can be done...that limit however could still be some ways off, noone knows.

Fed has been doing quant easing WAY before the pandemic. they just call it not QE ded FOOKING srs.

Bingo, and, in the end, it is the most economically disadvantaged that get hit the worst. It's insanity.

Of course.

But QE went into overdrive in September 2019 when the banking liquidity froze, so March 2020 world economy was shutdown due to rona but really it was to relieve some of the pressure, and the fed issued more in the form of UBI rona relief.

The fed has to expand the debt or it will implode.

And it has to continue for the optics or the market will plummet and shti will get real weird.

Interesting guy, I watched the first 5 minutes, carefully examined it. Now I'm not talking about what he said but how he said it and the manner just before and just after he said things. His manner is putting up so many red flags as a very accomplished liar, it's like watching an uncomfortable guilty politician speak. Perhaps he has stage fright or a medical condition, but it's not normal public speaking

[ChazWood]

LOL! Eckhart Tolle sure as chit ain't your speed, brother. His videos put my wife to sleep within minutes! To vibe with this guy you gotta shift into the lowest, slowest gear on the crank and I don't think u got that gear yet. No doubt you'll find it if/when you ever need it.

This exchange has me dying laughing.

haha! Awesome. Now pay us our skittles.

Hehe..I actually like him..I just don't need help to get awaken as I was never asleep.

haha! I dig. I can only download Eckhart when I'm super focused and attentive which as u prolly guessed is not bloody often.

What's cool is that he lives here in Vancouver somewhere on the UBC campus which is not far from us. It would be a trip to bump into him and see him in the real world. I picture him moving like a sloth. He's very odd, but I reckon that comes with having no discernable ego. Definately not my goal. I dig my ego, I just want to know how to use it more than it uses me, if u dig. So many questions I'd want to ask that guy, but at the top of the list is... ya, you guessed it; his take on these infernal canada geese. Surely he despises them!!!

Seriously, tho the dude seams to have it figured out and I'm an ever curious student, so I'm downloading his "teachings". Started with reading "the Power of Now" many years ago, and going a tad deeper in the last year since being temporarily out of commission from the flying into car thing.

Interesting take, Tom which frankly gave me a chuckle. Yeah, Eckhart definitely ain't no normal dude, nor is he very comfortable public speaking. He'd probably prefer to sit in a field and watch grass grow. Anyways, if you're still curious, google the dude and go from there.

Damn solid action off an OT post. Even surpassed expectations. Corbi's take on Eckhart would put this derail over the top.

Nothing against eckhart tolle since I have gone over his stuff but nothing STANDS out to be as VERY original and the typical be present and have emotional intelligence repackaged around a lot of weird religious chit which really turned me off. WAAAAYYYYY better people out there then him IMO.
