What's up with slug butter and part man quoting slug butter but not saying anything? Tighten up bro.

This is all a math game. Minimum wage doesn’t matter to companies. We can all just raise prices to compensate. When companies have monopolized whole industries, this means that they just raise prices and take the money right back from the same people they pay, who are forced to shop at their store at elevated prices, minimum wage increase is a scam to make poor people think they “care”.

This was my business reality. There are no independents left (in my business) in the Youngstown area.

Youngstown once a thriving steel and manufacturing town now resembles 3rd world ghettos. I have family there, I had watched it decline over the years.

You’ve not said anything that would make stand out from the rest of the social justice protesters. Same argument for the last 50+ years, and the same politicians promising LBJ‘s “Great Society”. How well did that work for ya?

The city is a skeleton of what it once was, but there are some great (safe) suburban areas to the South and West of Youngstown and we still have some great natural beauty to enjoy in Mill Creek Park. We’re a great place to stop and eat when traveling between Pittsburgh and Cleveland but that’s about it. Oh and yeah we also have a Walmart (sarcasm).

Not butthurt. I’m retired and everything is paid for.

If that’s the case, the whole world should be a free for all. There shouldn’t be any nations with borders. It’s gotta be a two way street. Is there any nation in the world that lets masses of people come over the border?

….and while we’re at it, learn to appreciate the ever increasing (and also undocumented) drugs, crime, and Covid (among other 3rd world illnesses).

I’m not retired, yet I’m technically not afraid of a bad economy for myself, but I don’t want the opportunity for my labor to pay well to disappear either. From what I see out here in the economy, not many people can really outwork me on the physical labor side of things, so I will always be able to take someone’s job who works lazy if my business fails. I started a business cleaning only construction sites, which turns into a lot of construction labor type work, using stairs before the elevator is working, carrying buffers up 6 floors, dropping 8 floors from ropes to clean outside glass, etc. I pay well, and still, most people will work 1 day and quit. I’ve worked onsite for many years now, and I just control the jobs and do the harder stuff myself and hire cleaning girls to do the regular everyday cleaning work. Seems to me that I will always be able to take someone’s job somewhere if I need to.

A company I worked for delivered craft beers in Youngstown. Did you ever do business with Premium Beverage out of Hilliard, Ohio?

I’ve certainly heard of them, and if they helped Dogfish Head get a start, I’ve probably purchased from their clients.
