This Friday, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, went viral on Twitter after an appearance in the media. The Democratic leader, who promised to raise taxes on the highest incomes to face the crisis – something that has not happened yet – has received a key question from journalists: “Why can’t employers find workers?”
Biden has been forceful and, in a whisper, has sentenced: “Pay them more.”

“That is the bargaining chip,” he continued. According to the Democrat, “people who work hard have to be paid a decent wage.”
The video, which has gone viral in a few hours, has collected hundreds of comments.
What kind of country do we live in so that obvious things like these seem revolutionary to us.

Can someone send the video (with acknowledgment of receipt) to those on the right, to that banker who said otherwise, to the governor of the Bank of Spain, etc? Thanks

Elemental !!
Do you want workers with good training and who are committed to the company …?
Well, pay them under conditions and in relation to what you expect from them. That’s right, pay them more!
X a fairer distribution of profits!
And now we should say that “is the market …” ???? ♀️ ????– matusaln (@matusaln) June 25, 2021
Wow. A Bolivarian Bolshevik in the White House. What all the neo-liberal fascist experts will say on the subject. Even CCOO and UGT are left naked.

Of course, it is still surprising that the statements come precisely from Biden.
And this is not that he is very socialist on the left …

Let Biden say it …

he will say what he wants, but he will never legislate to intervene in wages. A good fit.
