Put that thing on the street in any city in the world and people will be fighting over spots in line to crank it. Maybe the people who are complaining about earning minimum wage should check their privilege and realize that many people would appreciate having that job they are bitching about.

>>132298500

Or you could make a machine that spins the crank really fucking fast and just wait a moment while it does its thing.

>>132300538
Nothing in the image says I can't turn the crank faster. Unless that wooden box literally has a computerized timer that only counts down while it's being turned, and no matter how fast you turn it it counts down at the same pace.

No chance!

Must program the machine to dispense more money.

Automating the crank to turn itself is not an option! Please ignore the fact that this is a perfect case for automation

>OMG this minimum wage work isn't fun
It STILL needs doing and it's STILL probably not financially feasible to dramatically increase the pay for it

>>132300663
>Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds
Unless you're an autist, the reasonable interpretation is that once you hit a minimum threshold speed, the machine dispenses.
Either that or the machine is built with a speed limiter that you can not surpass due to in-built resistance.

Doesn't need a computer, could be a spring loaded cog with a gap at a 60/1 tooth ratio. Provided the sizing is the cog and coin hole is correct all the crank would be doing is setting the tension on the spring.

Minimum wage doesn't work that way, sorry.

1. MW prevents pay going any lower. It's meant to be way lower than what the market can afford.

2. MW is not a safety net for poor people. It's a safety net for poor economies. The purpose is to ease welfare without over spending.

3. Regional markets, economies, often pay way more than the MW if two criterias are met:

a. the job can benifit the company in long run, not the immediate.

b. the job requires a set of skills that are learnt outside the job itself.

A 14 year old kid can earn MW opening doors and fetching umberlas at fancy hotels in NY. The kid spends most of his time waiting, which is what a lot of minium wage are basically-- mostly waiting.

For that art piece to be accurate it would need to dispense 7.25 per hour REGARDLESS of how many times it is cranked, or to at least crank it once per hour. Because that what lot of minimum wage jobs are-- waiting to do a simply job when needed. You don't need to active the whole hour. There is nothing in MW that requires any kind of continous labor in fact, it's based on services rendered.

do your fucking homework

Then you simply find out what the minimum effort is to get the 7.25 an make sure you never go faster than that, just like every job ever that lacks performance bonuses.

Use electric motor to turn the handle for you. Pay tiny electric bill and make a profit while you play vidya and sleep.

See, thinking outside the box. Those that are only capable of turning the handle are worth minimum wage. Those that can automate it deserve the $15+

If you need the money that bad you will sit and crank it as long as possible. You will then go and take that money and invest it in yourself and find somewhere that will allow you to make more money then the crank... But I guess you wouldn't understand considering your a snivelling cunt who thinks they should be handed everything, right?

I don't work (turn the crank) just for the pennies.
I get satisfaction from doing something useful for someone else and charge for that.
If my job was just turning the crank, I'd stay home and shitpost on /pol/

>>132298500
A more accurate depiction would be if there was a succession of crank machines and this was the first one you had to turn for a period of time before you could move on to one that spits out more money. There would be more levers to operate and they continue to get more complicated the more money they spit out but this is just the entry machine that everyone has to start off on.

Dont like what the next more complex and difficult crank machine looks like? Stick with the one you are on.

Want to progress to the next one that spits out more money? Learn the ropes and earn your way to getting to it. Master the one you are at while keeping your eyes on the next one and the one you want to go to after that.

homeless and drug addicts maybe, nobody worth shit would waste their time doing this. Minimum wage with no benefits of any kind at all and manual labor is only appealing to the most desperate of dregs. Anyone with a real income would either completely skip it or leave fast after the novelty wore off as their time is worth more.

Let's say that the machine does what it does, at the rate that it does. And at the end of the day the worker hands all the money he produced to his boss who gave the machine to him.

Now imagine that the boss has to pay the hand crank guy 15$ for every hour he worked, even though he only made 7.25$ of revenue per hour.

Now imagine that boss consider how much an electric motor costs....

Honestly speaking as someone who's considered "rich" by most people's standards, I have to say I chuckle that so many of you guys who aren't wealthy want the minimum wage to stay as low as it is.

I think that's why politicians are so smart. They convince you the general masses to constantly vote against your own interests.

Real truth, I'd rather be dead than work a shit job for $7 an hour. That's piss money. Lucky for me I'll never have to work muchless for $7.

Listen I understand what this comic is trying to say but it misses a few key ideas:

You need to remove training and salary, as it's likely they are hiring part time or casual basis to keep off certain benefits and taxes and not giving training, then they will double dip by subsidizing the cost of the employee (At which point society should get a cut for paying for that employee).

The rest of the idea of the comic is okay (The employee is not entitled to % unless that is discussed).

I will take your word for it but that is just sad. I'm a cop and I make close to $85,000 pre tax.

imagine there are mostly only these minimum-crank jobs, but you're told to improve yourself by a guy who's never had to crank one.
imagine the crank jobs, as they've become more common over the years, have fallen way behind inflation, and they're now laughable - and someone tells you they're only supposed to be temporary and for the young people (ie: those in a weak position socially and financially, the exploitable).
All of the anti-minimum-wage-increase arguments follow a zero sum ideal where prices for goods are directly tied to wages. Investment bankers, nepotistic jews, landlords/passive income guys, highly-educated never-turned-a-crank-in-their-lives assholes love their economic models that account for 20% of real world life and externalize as much as possible. Pro-tip: you can be hard right wing without following outdated and preposterous ideas about work and life. Humans are not purely time vs money exchanges
