Lmao imagine living in a world where demanding that bosses get paid 20 times the amount of the worst paid employee is a revolutionary demand

schratze@todon.nlEven if the boss only earns twice as much as the worker and that's the maximum – multiply that by, say, five years and the two of them end up living in entirely different realities. One struggles paycheck to paycheck while the other is able to save up for larger investments

@schratze bosses should get paid the exact same as the worst paid employee
the best paid employee should get paid the same as the worst paid employee

schratze@todon.nlIf you work full time for minimum wage in this country, you can afford rent, bills, groceries, and basically nothing else. Wanna save up for retirement? A house? Wanna buy a new dishwasher? A car? Wanna have kids? Pets? Wanna afford rent in a large city? Nope, you're fucked

schratze@todon.nlI work full time for roughly twice that much and none of those things are an issue for me. I mean. Doing all of them at the same time would be. But I can support myself and my spouse no problem and I can save up some money so that maybe at some point in my life, I can at least pay off a loan on a small house in the sticks instead of renting forever

@mynameistillian not if you live in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, or any other expensive place. Then you can't even afford rent. I know people on here who pay more rent than minimum wage before taxes

i doubt even that, at minimum wage you'll be struggling for a lot of the basics already. It is way too fucking low, especially with everything being more expensive in the last few years.

@schratze @mynameistillian honestly minimum wage (and social benefits like bürgergeld) should be something counties should be able to raise because cost of living varies wildly

@schratze @mynameistillian raising it federally has the issue that the local economy isn’t…there. technically still possible to do with few problems but politics here doesn’t like centralism or any system other than raccapitalism

@mynameistillian @schratze centralism is only treated as good if it favors raccorpos

@mynameistillian @schratze i think replacing bürgergeld and minimum wage with equivalent UBI would improve it a lot, and to fund it we should make raccorporate taxes progressive

@charlotte @mynameistillian @schratze technically these fixed Bürgergeld amounts do not include rent (actual rent amount is added on top of that; the fixed amount is supposed to go on groceries and utilities etc).
And non-rent (/non-heating) expenses are I think roughly the same across the country? It's not like groceries in one town are 2x more expensive than in another.

But like generally the same service costs more in a cheaper city and more in an expensive city (unsure about raccountryside but I'd expect it to be more expensive there too)

IngaLovinde@embracing.space@charlotte @mynameistillian @schratze but not a lot of services, and those that do, don't contribute significantly to the "market basket" used to calculate the Regelbedarf?

IngaLovinde@embracing.space@charlotte @mynameistillian @schratze yes, from what I see only 10% tops of that would be priced noticeably different across the country.
