Agreed with this. I wasn't defending spankys post I was simply saying it's at least a valid introduction of sharing costs.

15/hour is just enough to have everything you need and very few things you want, but that's pretty much it. 

 

I understand.  I didn't include socializing cost because that would inherently change the concept of a living wage and force it to change from an individual to a socialized living wage.   I also find it slightly humorous that our average socialized costs of an inmate is greater than the $25k we are speaking about here, even if it is an apples to oranges.

It was? Don’t become a single mom if you can’t afford to be is controversial? Out of the adults earning a minimum/living wage over the age of 21, what % would you guess are parents? As stated above, I was a waiter with kids. So I myself fall into that demographic. 

Um, I would rather that one of our resident lady Surly members explain the issue with the phrase. 

But conceptually,  having kids when you are in your 20s (which was something common 1-2 generations ago) is simply not affordable now with the living wage of $25k without requiring socialism in the forms of aid.    Also we need to be aware of falling into the trap of saying we paid for our college with part time jobs or loans that were a fraction of our graduated salaries so kids today should be able to as well.     But this is all ultimately a tangential point.

I'm all for taking about the problem without injecting race into it. It's quite possibly the biggest problem facing our country. 15/hr in Houston is livable here (not fun or great) and a honestly most of the country outside of the west coast and choice locations in the east coast.
There are however studies which have been done that show the level of personal success is highly dependent on what they see from a disparity perspective. People above the poverty line actually still feel poor because of the massive difference between their lifestyle and someone in the middle class. The middle class feels closer to the poverty line people because of the gap between them and the rich. And the rich feel poor because of the gap between them and the wealthy. It's pulling our country apart and injecting race is a distraction from those who are the problem - the wealthy and the rich. 
A stimulus check for some near the poverty line or working a job as we have been describing is not only absolutely necessary but it's mandatory for survival. There is no margin for error at that level of income even if you are sharing costs. The fact that we can't get a guaranteed unemployment wage at 15/hr @40 hours/WK is insane to me. I don't give a shit what it costs from a tax burden perspective people who aren't getting the stimulus can afford it (that includes me). I don't feel fucking sorry for those that are poor with high income jobs that's a personal choice. The fact that many Americans are bitching about keeping 1/3 of America afloat by paying more taxes is insane, especially from those who have more money than they could ever spend in 100 lifetimes.

Comfortable did not mean 6 figures. That’s the people above entry level who work for me gnat make 40-75 is what I mean when I say comfortable. 

40 is not, at least in most places. 75 probably is.
I knew both of those ranges coming up (the 20 years ago equivalent). Those two numbers are a LOT different. I don't think you can even say them together in the same sentence. And Wulaw, you know we're cool, but I think even grouping them together shows that you never really struggled or it's been so long you forgot. You're talking $19.50 vs $36/hour. Night and day.

[BradInATX 9208]

And btw I'm not advocating for or against stimulus or whatever. I'd like to see a system where people that want to work will always make a living wage. And by that I mean enough to have a bit of savings and an emergency fund. So that people who work and manage their money responsibly will always be able to survive something like this. In a perfect world we'd have that, and no Trump socialism checks. The irresponsible or lazy people can eat government cheese and take the bus. Fuck them.

 

I know there are people out there that make plenty and wouldn't need it had they been responsible and not over-extended to look cool on Facebook. And I hate the concept of my kids or grandkids paying the piper for them.

 

But that's fantasy land type stuff. We don't pay the working class enough to let them sink or swim on their own merit. They're in a constant state of trying not to drown. And a lot of people don't understand that. Because they're so removed from it that they say things like "you can insure and gas your car up for $83/month, just get roommates!".

 

You can't even start to have the conversation when parts of society actually believe things like that. There's a knowledge and awareness gap.

I made 47k in 2018 as the sole earner for a family of 5. It sucked. 2019 I made 113 and that still sort of sucked. 
I’m well aware of the cost of a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk as it were. 
We didn’t send my wife back to work because we figured it would be a transitional time and better days would be ahead. I think all will be cleared up in the next 30-60 days and we will be “right” again  for the first time since early 17 but it’s been a long fucking slog to get there, and it involved me starting another business to diversify, and taking on multiple partners in each business. 
I know a lot of business owners with the same story. It isn’t easy at any level to be a job creator. I think it will turn out good in the end, and if things keep going the way they are trending I might finally “make it” by the time I retire, at which point in time my goal is to give it away strategically to better as many lives as I can in my community. 
but the person I hire at 25 or 30k and give a chance to, teach a skill set, and pay a live able wage is also benefiting if they use the opportunity correctly. 
what started this entire digression is the idea that I like the $450 bonus payments for getting off unemployment, even into an entry level job, better than the enhanced unemployment, because having a job is better for a person and society than not, and I like the idea of incentivizing that in these times.

It’s actually not allowed anymore (theoretically) because of the Obama admin and some of his regs. Trump did away with those either on paper or just essentially saying they won’t be enforced- I know not which, but I’m not worried anymore about that.

Yes, that exists in Mexico and to an extent in Mexican-American culture however it doesn't really exist in the U.S. outside of Hispanic society. Whites do not officially recognize White Hispanics as genuine White. There was a time that Mexican-Americans were considered white but then the U.S. government officially revoked our whiteness about 100 years ago. So while we are still considered white in Mexico we are an off brand of white in the United States.

I'm reading now that the WH is considered a blanket forgiveness of all COVID loans to businesses.  I'm not fully opposed to this idea but I believe that the companies or business owners have to somehow state why they can't pay it back or justify it.  If the funds were used in any manner that didn't involve keeping people employed, then more discussion is needed with that CEO/business owner. 

My guess is that the vast majority of those companies used taxpayer money in a fair and reasonable manner. I also assume that someone did not.  I'm not worried if a business owner or CEO continued to pay themselves.  They deserve their salary. However if they gave themselves an unexpected bonus/dividend over the last few months, the loan should not be forgiven.

I also wouldn't want a full audit of every loan. The cost of that wouldn't justify that effort but I would guess that the IRS could identify questionable activity and question as needed.

You want to have the most efficient stimulus, how about you give every person with a legitimate social security number (i.e. Legal Resident) over the age of 18 2,000 per month (backdated to March when shut down orders started) until the end of the year.  

You do not means test this (i.e. no income restriction).  You do not restrict it from someone if there is someone not legal living in the household (i.e. a spouse is not legal).  Everyone gets it.  Also, you do not tax this.  

Why?  Those of us who do not need the funds for basics will most likely do one of three things: (i) Pay down Debt quicker; (ii) donate the money to not for profits/worthy causes; (iii) invest.  Even if we spent it, it stimulates the economy.

For those that need it, this is a good lifeline.  It keeps you in your home, keeps you from getting underwater from circumstances outside of your control.

Of course, this makes too much fucking sense so Congress will not do it.

Contrary to what republicans think (since they are wrong about nearly everything).  People like to work.  But working for subsistence wages is not possible for many people.   Especially if that person has kids that would require them to be placed into a daycare facility, and the pay earned from the job is not enough to offset the expenses of working at the job.   

Below is a chart from 2013.  We know this has grown more askew to the right.  Now explain to me why someone in the <70% (arbitrary) should risk their life/health and that of their family to enrich those on the right side of the graph?  Why should someone take a job that costs them money and puts them in harms way?  Why should someone take a job where they basically cannot afford the health care which is stupidly tied to employment and expensive for many, in some cases, more expensive than their wages.  

We have serious fucking flaws here.  Myths and bullshit economics shouldn't be a matter of policy.

Yes, giving it to people is the fastest way to get it back in the economy. I go back to the fact that on the first round of COVID stimulus, the only group of people who got absolutely nothing were college-aged people still claimed as dependents by their parents.

Children under 18? Parents got something. Adults out of college? They got something themselves.

Meanwhile, the demographic that almost instantly spends any money they get and never thinks about savings got nothing. That was absurd.

My favorite was the Torna atrás.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torna_atrás

I was reading one article on these casta paintings that said they were produced as souvenirs for Spaniards who had served in the exotic Indies, neatly slicing up the divisions. Because if you look at most of the pictures without captions, they're all tan people.

Also, in the old days mixed-race children might be recorded as indio because indios didn't pay taxes. A mestizo was a kid that the Spanish daddy didn't claim, but if the Spanish daddy did claim him, the kid was called a Spaniard, though technically a criollo, which could also be a pure-blood Spaniard born in America. The main thing was upbringing.

I think it was around the time of the Revolution that the Mexican Gummint started pushing the idea of "hey now we're all Mestizos y ya!", no matter what people looked like, probably to give war-traumatized folks one less reason to blow up trains and rob travelers.

Well the Dems have a system that helps people and the economy in general and the money gets injected back into the economy and can be used to pay for basic necessities.  The Repubs plan is to give money to corporation, let the executives pay themselves bonuses and have little impact on the economy.  Just like with our businessman's understanding of tax cuts, the elite just bought stock and had a difficult time even lying about creating new jobs with the money.   I'll let you in on something, people/companies don't hire because they have money.   They hire because the need something done.  But maybe if we try it for 40 more years we can see some new results.

Lol. AOC would put income restrictions on it. I don't think we should do that.

To be fair, I was part of the Yang Gang. I am all for UBI. But I also don't think you means test it. Legal resident of the US? You get 1k (or for my COVID stimulus plan, 2k) a month. Those that don't need it will increase investment/savings, gifts to nonprofits, or spend/pay down debt. Those that do need it, it could be something meaningful to that family. Maybe College Kid A can focus on his studies and not work full time. Maybe single mom C can forego a second job and spend time with her kids, helping them with homework. Maybe boomer E who wants to retire and open up a small business will take this to do just that.

I would rather see a program like this than some of the other ones we have in place.
