Cost of living and wage are not connected in anyway. Like apple and chicken. Two different things.

Just because your apple grows bigger, it doesn't mean your chicken should.

Sorry you don't get to pretend your position is virtuous. Your position is one of naked evil. A position of sacrifice. A position of social vampiring. A position of enslavement. A position of theft. A position of coercion.

The phony fake fraudulent progressive "compassion" is the polar opposite. Collectivists are literally human monsters, politically and economically speaking.

I'm more important than the attorney in a real estate transaction. And it isn't close. The payment to each profession is an accurate measure of the value of each. And I do take less than 6% on many occasions. Sometimes I'll even do 4%. If my client is very intelligent and will not need a lot of hand holding, I can reduce what I charge. A first time homebuyer is going to need more help, so I don't discount too much in that situation. Unless I really like them! On a listing, I can also go lower if the price of the home is high enough to cover my costs and profit at the lower rate. In fact, now that I think of it, I can't remember the last time I charged as high as 6%!

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 makes it public business. Maybe I will give a damn about your opinion when your head is on the dime and you know more about the law.
The law be damned. I am always looking forward to what the law should be, not what it is. And what it will be. Not what it is. In fact, any law that has the word Fair in its title is usually a form of tyranny in some respect.

The advocates of exploitation hold no weight when they try to call anyone else monsters. Your entire economic philosophy is the equivalent of children playing dress up with monopoly money.

That's too bad, I usually ramp up on the weekend. You're missing some good vitriol.

Since when does identification of reality hold no weight? Oh yeah, in progressive fantasyland, that's where.

Nothing you say is based in reality. It's a warped worldview that views the contract as sacred, regardless of the conditions or circumstance. And the common reason I've seen from all those who share your view is that y'all get a hard on at the thought of being able to exploit someone.

Sorry Mr. Progressive. My world view is based on freedom and trade. Your world view is based on coercion and theft. My world view is virtuous and good. Yours is bankrupt and evil. Your world view requires violence and compulsion. Mine only requires voluntary cooperation. I am the good guy. You are the bad guy. How does that grab you?

No longer ignoring the naked and unvarnished evil of the putrescent progressive virtue signaling bull$hit. Calling it out and showing it up. Identifying it for what it is. And it, ladies and gentlemen, is humanity at its worst. Now get off my phone! Channeling Bob Grant this evening!!!

We know your ilk. It's breeds the same "virtue" that champions child labor, sex trafficking, indentured servitude bc both parties "agreed"
