Starbucks #union workers are still on strike after a month. One of the many reasons being that Starbucks refuses to even guarantee them 2% annual raises - well below the normal cost of living increases.
Fuck #starbucks. Their CEO make millions. They can afford it. They’re just greedy fucks.

The worker will therefore get no more for their labor than is necessary for this purpose; the price of labor, or the wage, will, in other words, be the lowest, the minimum, required for the maintenance of life.
If even that.
Yeah, that’s a problem that i have with marxism. it predicts that wages will be just as low as required to survive.
but what if they don’t? what if they go even lower?
Capitalism doesn’t require that all life be maintained, only just enough. If capitalism doesn’t need you, then your wages can absolutely go lower.
yeah, that makes sense, thanks
