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.
Ofc there are no citations for this “argument”? Capitalist ideologues are indoctrinated so deep into the hegemonic soup that they believe their pseudo-science is self-evident.
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.
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.
That is clearly a local anecdote. Why would you think what happens at a shop and a McDonald’s in your community is representative of the average experience?
Because it is. Small shops dont pay shit, ive worked at them. They cant afford to.
Have you not seen bucees? They pay managers 6 figures. Because they can afford to. Bob and Linda cant afford to pay someone the 50,000-70,000 a year thats basically required to survive comfortably in most of the US.

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.
Plus tips I imagine. Something people at McDonald’s do not get.
