It’s a vicious cycle, but for a reason. They super inflate the salary of tech jobs in CA, which creates a deadly income disparity between people of the “chosen” job compared to people of other jobs with similar or even better education, not to mention those low skilled jobs without college education. Ask your self, is it a healthy/sustainable market system where the average salary of a 4-year computer major college graduate exceeds/doubles that of people with more advanced/PhD degrees in non-tech fields?
You should ask why these executives that barley contribute get huge payouts.
My neighbor managed a hotel in my city and talked about her hotel employees a few times. They live with several family members in apartments or rented homes. The individual on the lease has adequate income to be able to rent and the others move in (and share the rent).
True and probably the case in most American towns and cities. These workers are often legally admitted foreign born immigrants that come here hoping to better themselves and their future. The don't "live" any sort of an "American dream" or even an average existence. Then they are criticized and verbally abused for not assimilating.
He gets a lot of the blame. Biden was kicking our nation's fossil fuel energy sector in the balls during the height of the closures and economic collapse.
Biden just took an axe to many of the policies Trump had in place which were helpful, just to be spiteful
Biden was all in favor of forcing lockdowns, even encouraging employers to fire employees not willing to get the vaccine, not matter if they already had natural immunity.
Biden start flooding our cities with illegals, further exacerbating our economic crisis
Biden started running up the federal spending and deb, beyond even more the emergency pandemic expenditures.
Biden's policies have been to blame America, and pretend there was no economic crisis or inflation, and he's still doing it today
And what's it like to your town if the economy forces that Walmart to close?
- fossil fuel is a cartel that engaged in price gauging
- what polices did trump have that helped anyone other than corporations?
- to be fair lots of employers were for vaccines because it could mean getting their employees back to work faster instead of risking being the epicenter of another outbreak.
And lockdowns happened under Trump aswell.
Notice how it’s always catered to having sympathy for corporations and not workers?
- wasn’t it Abbot sending “illegals” deeper into the country?
- the only federal spending you should be criticizing is the money sent abroad to kill Arab kids, the overly inflated military budget and the money used to bail out corporations while leaving working people to foot the bill.
- inflation is price gauging, not blaming America but blaming corporate greed
It may not take a lot of skill to do those jobs, but where are the people that do these jobs going to live if they can't afford rent or a mortgage in California? What do YOU suggest?
Nah...they should look to improve their skills and get a better paying job.
But I guess that's too hard for people to do anymore..

And and good are not gonna wait for them to improve. That’s by design. Keep us locked in a rat race. Any deviation can result in destabilization. Fear of homelessness and starvation keeeps the workers in line.
All the ignorant liberals/leftists ranting about people being able to earn a living wage.
Most of the fast food jobs and others like bag boys in supermarkets (and the like) were never designed to support a family, rather they were starter jobs to get some experience, earn some money, and then you either move up the ladder to management, or move on to a better job.
I like most other people worked menial jobs to start with, and in some cases several at one time. But I also was going to college part time to improve my station in life, and eventually started to earn real money.
However, even then, knowing someday I would want to put my future kids in private/parochial school, and live in a nice safe neighborhood, I went back to college and changed career paths again.
Some people just want what others have, but do not want to earn it, or invest the time it takes to climb the ladder.
When you see shows like Jay-Walking or Mark Dice interviewing these know nothing fools with the simplest of questions everyone should have learned the answers to by middle school, it is little wonder why some of them expect to be earning large amounts of money in starter jobs. They do not possess the education, intelligence, work ethic, or ambition to do anything else but complain.
Which are paid for, not by the "Government" (which generates no money), but with taxes taken from the working and contributing citizens.
Is it better then to subsidize these workers with the public's money (taxes), or to ask their employers to pay them enough to live on while they are in their employ, especially in a high cost of living area?
Low skilled workers don't just evaporate into the atmosphere at the end of their shifts and materialize back at work the next day. They must have a place to go home to, affordable transportation from that home to work and back, and sometimes childcare, in order to hold down a job. ANY job.
We can pay for their housing and other necessities of life with ever increasing taxes to keep wages low for their employers, or we can ask their employers to pay them more. Simple as that.
We are entering a communist dystopia. Everyone is going to get paid more or less the same $50K a year, no matter what they do.
