Bernie Sanders finally admits artificial wage hikes kill jobs

[tinfoil]

Your quotes, dumbshit. Own them.

“You math is way wrong. anything over 40 hrs is time and a half.”

“They're fucking idiots who can't be arsed to calculate the wage they agree to work for”

The article, idiot, says he will be bringing their hours down to 42-43 which makes it the equivalent of about $15 an hour.

Keep digging yourself in deeper, idiot. It’s amusing.

Now that he's been caught abusing his labor paying them $10/hr. LOL
They claimed they worked 60hr weeks, you moron. Only after being caught out did Bernie pay his help min wage. LOL You are too stupid to realize it.

And wage can refer to salary, you retard. A salary is a fixed wage. LOL my god you are a perfect example of our failed schools

 

[domer76]

so that'd be a no, you have no idea what a concept is. i'm not surprised, but your literalist view will fail you. it always does.

^Thinks he’s an author of the Constitution.

Says that “vehicles cannot be necessary” in a modern society.

Folks, you CANNOT make this level of stupidity up!

Keep digging, idiot. Your massively stupid posts speak for themselves.

Where’s that time and a half you were talking about, cunt?

MY god, are you really that stupid? In order to compare a salary earned for 60 hr weeks, you have to account for the fact that if you were paid an hourly wage anything over 40 hrs per week is required by law to be paid time and a half. Everyone knows this fact except you. You've never worked a job, have you?

Once again, dumbfuck cunt, as I tried to explain to you, salaried people are not eligible for OT. But you had to go on and on, out of sheer ignorance that these people are to be paid OT for anything over 40 hours. Your own words, cunt. Live with them.

“You math is way wrong. anything over 40 hrs is time and a half.”

But capitalism abhors a vacuum, so over time, more and more low-paid workers found themselves in the category of being salaried and ineligible for overtime. The Obama administration tried to tackle this with a Labor Department regulation mandating overtime for anyone earning less than $47,000, but it was challenged in court and the Trump administration elected not to defend the rule, instead writing a new rule that set the threshold at $35,000. At an annual salary just below that threshold, Sanders’s field staff would be collecting lots of overtime and thus earning more than $36,000, but instead, their salary was pegged (perhaps not coincidentally) to be just above the exempt threshold.”

For fucks sake, I know that you retard, that's the point of my post. The math was wrong. We were making a comparison. At no time did I say his people were hourly. I said they were idiots to take a job that required those kinds of hours for that pay. Yet they agreed and it's because they don't know how to calculate their hourly wage because they think they are above it being salaried.

 

[tinfoil]

This guy domer is so stupid. He keeps thinking I was saying Bernie's turds should get overtime when I'm pointing out how Bernie ripped them off . LOL

 

[Grokmaster]

When economically illiterate Democrat bullshit gets confronted with reality.

"Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced this weekend he will cut staffers' hours so that they can effectively be paid a $15-an-hour minimum wage, prompting mockery from critics who say the move is more evidence that Sanders' plan to raise the national minimum wage is hypocritical and would only lead to less work and more unemployment."

Bernie Sanders campaign announces it will cut hours to pay staffers $15 minimum wage, prompting mockery

YOU CANNOT BUY COMEDY THIS GOOD!!!!!

domer has no ability or desire to actually understand concepts, despite the idiot bringing up a concept at the beginning of this thread. so yeah, he really is that stupid. to top it off, he likes to think that he's humiliated us all when, in fact, he's the one being humiliated. He just cant see that he's the one doing it.

Liar. You sure as shit did.

“You math is way wrong. anything over 40 hrs is time and a half.” <That’s only for hourly wages, idiot.

My math was spot on. Anything over 40 hrs a week for a SALARIED employee IS NOT time and a half, idiot.

Fucking moron. Keep digging and lying

You really can’t. His stupidity is almost unmatchable. Except for tinfoil and dumberthanayew, that is. You stupid fucks don’t know the difference between salary and wages.

What would the lowest paid wage, longest hours suffered, worst working conditions, number of lives lost
and hungry babies, broken homes, child labor rates, divorce, medical wellbeing and broad education level if there were never progressives
fighting for 150 years and instead business and commerce went wholly unchecked in their avarice over this entire time?

Yes, and it's also going to be a real chore for the other 20 circus clowns to out-hypocrite this, which is a substantial letdown given how early it still is.

My post, immediately calling bullshit on the OP. And I was correct. Then you stupid fucks had to pipe in and demonstrate your massive ignorance. Humiliating you was a pleasure.

Me:

“These people are on salary, not hourly. $36,000 a year at 40 hours a week is $17 an hour. If one works that same employee at 60 hours per week, now they make around $12 per hour.

He’s merely keeping their hours near 40 so that they make near that $15 an hour.”

Here’s your fellow dumbfuck’s quote:

“You math is way wrong. anything over 40 hrs is time and a half.

You want to jump in and look as stupid as the other 6 RW idiots on this topic?

 

[Flash]

What a shit pot full of distortion.

These people are on salary, not hourly. $36,000 a year at 40 hours a week is $17 an hour. If one works that same employee at 60 hours per week, now they make around $12 per hour.

He’s merely keeping their hours near 40 so that they make near that $15 an hour.

Lying sons-a-bitches.

Workers had to work 60 hours to make $12 per hour. Nobody is lying--Bernie was not paying $15 an hour.

He was requiring slave labor of workers who were doing all the work while the boss made all the profit while government had to subsidize the workers for their low salary.

No, wait. That is the anti-capitalist argument.

No, wait. That is the anti-capitalist argument.

He was paying salaries, not hourly. He dropped their hours to align them with an EQUIVALENT of about $15/hr. The article doesn't say ANYBODY got laid off. But that’s what the article portrayed.

And the JPP RW idiots chime in about time and a half. Massive ignorance.

Where does the article indicate the government had to subsidize the workers?

 

[tinfoil]

I you're going to figure out what the equivalent wage would be for X number of hours worked, you have to include X-40 overtime hours. Is this concept difficult for you young people to grasp? Did you ever take algebra for fuck sake?
