SNAP shouldn’t be necessary for anyone who works. The fact that in America someone can have a job and yet still needs SNAP to survive is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Pay people a living wage jfc.
Right. They are stealing your livelihood from both ends, not living up to their side of the bargain and blame you for this problem. America s should all collectively not show up to work for a week and see if the tune changes, cause I’ll bet it sure as shit would.
The argument my friend always says is this cant happen or all small businesses will be shut down because only corps will be able to pay that high wage.
As it turns out, most small businesses pay a higher wage than the big corps. Average wages end up going down when a town gets Walmarted because Walmart pays less than the small businesses it drives out.
Turns out, a large portion of people using SNAP are employees of these “corps” (source), quote:
… The story repeats in all nine states. Walmart and McDonald’s were the corporations with the most employees using SNAP.
We are basically subsidizing their employees’ wages with our tax money. And at the same time, all those money goes to these companies’ bottom line. (where do you think their employees spend their SNAP money?)
This is a fucking scam, and must be stopped. These corporations must pay their employees a living wage, otherwise they must not be allowed to operate.

I disagree. Pay people UBI so any job automatically becomes a living wage.
You’re both right.

Counter point?

Im not sure thats right. Mc dick pays 15 dollars an hour here and a mom n pop shop downtown either wont hire you or pays 9 dollars.
