They are washed with harsh chemicals, leading to the destruction of the natural protective layer (that protective layer prevents germs like salmonella from entering the egg)
Eww... We don't need chlorine infused chicken and chemical soaked eggs. No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster. Ban it by law, put it into the constitution change all the national anthem to say EU citizens will be protected from US chemical infused meat and eggs. Write it into a huge stone facing US in multiple languages. Make T-shirts too and hats.
Yes, you are right it is tough being easily replaceable by... robots . It is getting cheaper to just use self-order and self-checkout, self-service pump, vending machines these days.
Maybe the government should provide retraining for citizens to work in more skilled jobs.
Is that why US companies pay so low (in comparison to their Cost of Living) because there is min wage to follow rather than free market. While other countries (with no min wage) salaries are "higher" in comparison to their Cost of Living, food, clothes and etc.
Unlikely, no entity/business/people will ask for $0.02 hourly for their service. In a capitalist society, business/people/entity will ask for correct hourly price/fees/salary/income for their services that is profitable.
illegal workers are breaking the law, so they have no choice, no bargaining power. They can ask for higher hourly price for work done, too, or just don't be illegal or find another job in their home country.
Maybe don't compare to prison/illegals/rapist/pedos since there are many countries with no min wage, like successful Singapore.
I started working from min wage up. I don't work illegally in other countries, and I find another job if pay is too low to make ends meet. The moment I start any job, I also start looking and preparing for my next job. I am never loyal to my employer because they will never be loyal to me.
Ideally, yes, but I'm not sure what type of agreement they have in place. It can give US a reason to invade. Trump is probably looking for a reason to justify invasion.
He might create one actually anyway, Like WMDs in Iraq or Putin version, nazis in Ukraine or NATO expansion in Ukraine.
One of the main real reasons Crimea in Ukraine was invaded was due to access to Sevastopol port.
We should keep pushing for higher min wages until it is cheaper to use automation, self checkout and etc. It is sad to see workers struggling at restaurants, preparing burgers and cleaning tables. no one should be doing such menial work.
Other than tech, low min wage is one of the things holding us back from full automation. High min wage will accelerate automation hopefully.
But... most people, even you won't cut your own income/salary/increments to increase the salary of low-income workers. If not, they would have done so voluntarily.
Did you ever reject your pay raise and ask the boss to give a raise to the low income staff below you instead.
Business income is not magic, and earnings are divided based on salary structure. The income is divided between all staff, i.e., you get your high salary at the expense of low incomes.
The other way to get more money to raise min salary is to raise prices of product/services. But... why let poor customers suffer?
Where do you think the salary money will come from. Why signal so much concern, but when it hits your high salary, it is no go. Many are unwilling to take a tiny salary cut to help low income.
Some think money will 1000% go to C-suite/investor salary/income if everyone take a miniscule pay cut, even after a company guarantee a pay raise for low income in contract. Hardly anyone want their filthy obscene high salaries to be touched so they will come up with all sort of reasons, NIMBY, they want the money for low-income salary to appear by magic.
US should pay at least 5 million to each person. That is how much Trump is selling his gold card visa anyway.
