You don't seem to understand how wages work. They are just a measurement of value. Which is why CEOs make a shitton and a guy sorting mail does not. A workers value is related to his skills and the system around him, if there is no one to pay his wage then he is worth nothing. If any moron can slap together a subway sammich then you are getting minimum wage.
Yeah, if a company doesn't exist the worker would indeed still be working, at another company, who is provided the wage, and thus creating value and being taxed. You literally made a circular arguement lol.
There is a reason not everyone is a CEO, doctor, lawyer, highly skilled, etc.
Sorry bud if you want to be making more then minimum wage, bring more than minimum skills.
Hi, Companies run without ceo's all the time, show me one that runs with no employees.
Show me one that runs with no customers..
The CONSUMER is the reason these multinational monstrosities flourish, and the WORKERS are the consumers.
There have been numerous studies done on this.
Before all these monster corporations SMALL business flourished, so that guy might not be working for walmart he may have his own supermarket.
I understand how wages work, and the people in charge do anything they can to deflate the value of wages.
My partner makes her company over 3 million dollars a year in labor and gets paid $145,000.
He actual labor value is much higher but her company has a monopoly in our region and holds all the major contracts.
You keep talking to me like i am an idiot but i am not seeing any shining examples of your economical genius shining through here mate.
As to that crap about "Minimal skills"
Steph has an electrical license, a bachelors in project management, a bachelors in business management and 14 years of experience and technical training.
Her branch manager with almost NONE of these qualifications makes slightly more than she does.
If her branch manager came down sick tomorrow the company would see zero issues, steph has to take a few months off for our pregnancy and the company is reeling.. they literally have no idea what to do since they rely on her so heavily.
