Anyone who wants to argue credibly must say that the cuts will have exactly the opposite effect to what is intended. Every cut in the #social sector or elsewhere destroys jobs. #wage cuts also destroy jobs! Anyone who, like the #German Chancellor, wants to reduce #labor costs will destroy jobs.

At 1.90%, #euro area #inflation is expected to undershoot in 4Q2026, with no #wage growth pressure, notes @GoldmanSachs
US #labor market dynamic, chart @JPMorganAM
my two cents:
Since the early 1980s, US #wage growth has been structurally constrained by #unemployment, and the post-pandemic wage surge was a temporary deviation rather than a regime shift—making the current reversion entirely consistent with a labour market that systematically generates #affordability stress.

#Wage growth slowed notably, to 3.5% since this time last year. That is the slowest pace since before the pandemic.

#Ministerial Exception #Doctrine Does Not Bar #Wage-and-Hour Claim
In Lorenzo v. #SanFrancisco Zen Center, (CA App., Nov. 21, 2025), a California state appellate court held that neither the #ministerialexceptiondoctrine nor the #church #autonomydoctrine bars a wage-and-hour claim for past services by an employee who is a "minister" under the ministerial exception doctrine.

the #American #workingclass now consists less of the masculine-coded heavy industries like manufacturing and rust-belt steel mills, and #more of #jobs in the #female dominated #service #sector Just under half of American workers are #women, but they are the #majority of the #low #wage #workforce The conflation of the “working class” with maleness is outdated and false, a rhetorical fig leaf that conceals sexism behind a facade of anticapitalist righteousness.

Wage Dependency is a Capitalist Construct
Wage dependency is, by virtue, a crisis for individuals and groups under faiths and religions that are inherently against the concept. Therefore, capitalism can conflict with individuals’ and communities’ faith and value systems in certain cases. What if an individual knows individuals or communities whose faith(s) conflict with the global capitalist system? Additionally, capitalism is the system that causes harm to humanity and can easily result in human extinction eventually, even as a […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/25/wage-dependency-is-a-capitalist-construct/
Even the ads are self-owns. Late stage capitalist credit card company depicts its spokesperson as having to sleep in the bank branch. "Use our credit card because our slaves sleep where they work!"
Bankers don't believe capitalism can allow for decent wages; profits are king in the USA.
