I like the point about canabilistic capitalism.
If someone who works full time can't afford modest/normal rent without help, then wages are too low, and if they're struggling they won't be able to consume so the people setting the low wages are reducing their own customer base.

not if the employer is Mulberry or Aquascutum

(, Thu 13 Jun 2013, 13:10, Reply)
Well yes, but this is on the macro scale.
Minimum wage is about £12,500 Pre tax £10,740 after tax, average rent is £9,500 bills etc after that.

Either rents have to go down or minimum wage has to go up or else large parts of the country have no money to do pretty much anything.

I'd like to continue rising if that's ok with you
kthx
(, Thu 13 Jun 2013, 13:21, Reply)
It's the same reason giving tax cuts to top earners does nothing to help.
If you give say 500 quid to a low earner, they go out and spend it on a new TV or washing machine or whatever - the money filters up through the economy.
(, Thu 13 Jun 2013, 13:13, Reply)
This is primarily the problem, I think.
Lack of money forcing wage freezes which, via inflation, translate to pay cuts. Cost of living rising without increased wages leads to less money, leading to less spending, leading to economic stifling, leading to companies forced to let people go or lower wages.

It makes perfect sense at a superficial level, though I'm no economist.

This pisses me off. If you're in charge of the country's money, you ought to either be qualified for it or follow the advice of those who are.

They should, however, be listening to the people who actually know what they're talking about beyond canvassing and lobbying etc.

You don't need any qualifications whatsoever to be a politician
you just need to be able to tell convincing lies, and have enough wonga to bankroll your campaign.
(, Thu 13 Jun 2013, 13:30, Reply)
It's a strange paradox though.
If you think about supermarkets (step in with the details nakkers) which is important because combined they're massive employers.
Tesco wants to increase profit margins to make it more competitive, so it limits wages, adds flexible working zero hour contracts etc thus decreasing it's wage costs and increasing it's profitability. Shares rise. Asda, Lidle, sainsburys morrisons etc follow suit. Now over the course of months/years tens of thousands of people have that little bit less to spend on Wine,luxury food than they did before. So sales go down.
Efficiency in that way spread out over a sector damages everyone in the long term.

If it helps, my pay hasn't been frozen at all these last few years
does that mean I'm helping the economy?
(, Thu 13 Jun 2013, 13:22, Reply)
Probably.
Mine's been frozen for four years, though I think that's more to do with the opportunism of my company and the main factor for me looking to leave.

that sucks, although considering your company's sector thing may have been a bit tight for them
The recruitment agent I met this morning wants to put me forward for a role that pays between £7k and £17k more than my current role, i don't even care if the job is shit for that.

I'm thinking of moving into marketing, actually.
Specifically technology implementation. Putting in digital signage systems etc. Some of the tech they're using is really fucking cool. Like face recognition in billboards so they can tell how many people walking past are looking at the advert and what demographic they belong to.

The whole Big Brother aspect of it gives me a fucking great bone-on.
