taken for inflation, the minimum wage is LESS now then it was in the 60s, in terms of output per worker we make double that as we did in 1968 but yet we have the largest disparity in income since the 1930s. The bottom 50% of Americans combined (155 million people or so) own just 2.5% of the wealth, while the top 1% own over 40%.
That doesnt sound like a hard bargain, sounds more like a white flag from Trumka, Hoffa and Mary Kay Henry
if you get the chance read The Civil War in US Labor
Bill, try to buy Fair Trade goods as much as possible, meaning the workers in the third world get paid what they would in America so they have great standards of living, and mostly work in cooperatives in Honduras or Angola, etc
the problem with labor isnt that they got "greedy" in the demands to management, Its that the leaders (because rank and file stopped voting and thus putting them in check) in many of 'em got cozy with management and sold out the workers couph...SEIU...cough..Teamsters
Ye! maybe bill gates stoled all the shit from steve jobs, but he did good! i dont hear people complaining or killing themselves when working on a pc, laptop or other shit.
Bill- You should see the arguments between fanboys about this. The Nokia fanboys will say "DUUUR THAT'S WHY I USE NOKIA!!!" Meanwhile, Nokia stiffed thousands of Indian workers on pay altogether, the packed their shit and left.
@Kazekoge101 I want my rollback prices at Walmart, fuck u Bill Burr! seriously though Americans are just too used to this stuff, we'll never stop until it all comes crashing down (e.g. the 2008 Lehman Brothers crash)
We're standing on the roof of hell, smelling the flowers here in America; while most of the rest of the world is down there in the flames, making our technology and other products for sh*t wages. I hope the world improves soon and this kind of thing ends. Maybe in 1 or 2 hundred years. Best wishes Bill, I love your insight :)
fuck it.....everybody buy USA or Western Hemisphere made stuff......or we need the proper Tariffs on stuff from the 3rd World ... yeah, China is 3rd World!!!
fuck Steve Jobs.

Here's an idea how about limiting any 1 persons fortune to $1billion. What the fuck does anyone need more than that for?
