Working for a Living - A discussion on corporate wages and worker compensation

from Indecisive Podcast · host MZ Hammer

Let's face it, it's getting harder to stretch a dollar for most of us. So how in a time when people are losing their jobs and savings are corporations reporting record profits. Why is it that most of the entry-level workers in the United States are unable to earn enough to meet even the most basic of needs and are subsidized by the American taxpayers through government assistance? Yet corporations report record profits and the shareholders rejoice. But what about the ones that report to work every day, through bad weather, illness, transportation issues, a global pandemic, and living in scarcity? The ones too afraid to ask for time off to attend PTA meetings or their children's extracurricular activities because if they don't work they don't eat. "Get a second job," they are told by people that have never had to live in a life of scarcity not by choice but by design. We should be able to work to live not live to work. Life was meant to be lived and I don’t think working your life away for less than a basic living seems like the best way to spend it. And don't get me started on the homeless population on the rise. So grab your favorite snack or focus on the road while we discuss just a few of the issues facing our modern industrialized and digitized society.  The North Texas Food Bank If you need help or want to help  https://ntfb.org/ BetterHelp.com - for online adult counseling  Teencounseling.com - for online teen counseling  The Trevor Project 24/7 365 help for LGBTQ youths  https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ www.stopaddiction.us - if you need help with addiction  Suicide Prevention Hotline - 1-800-273-8255  Check out the following:  Check out my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mzhammer523/  Check out my stream on Twitch  https://www.twitch.tv/mzhammer523  Javi G show - https://open.spotify.com/show/5qd7Cwr7j4MvRhhuKQPf7x?si=Emm9aCFGQQadnCuMLM9uLA  Javi G Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/refriedbeams77/  Germball23 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/germball23/
