19. Watch songs on Youtube instead of buying cds.
This is technically illigal because its a free distribution of the song, and you cant but youtube videos on an Mp3 Player.
10. Give minimum wage salaries (If an employer)
Well, in my city, if you give minimum wage as an employer, you will be almost guaranteed not to find employees.
4/5’s of these tips are complete bull. We don’t live to sacrifice living, it’s paradoxal. If everyone wants to live a life o’Scrooge, walking barefoot on the sidewalk because “I don’t want to get scratches on my shoes” that’s up for them to decide.
I wouldn’t start structuring my economy by boiling eggs in tea water. Leave the things you don’t know anything about to others.
Additionally, people in the western world have more money than you think.
are you a commie or something? There is nothing wrong with saving money. Also minimum wages are good enough to some.
“are you a commie or something?”
*facepalm*
“How’d you know!?”
Very informative, is there an
alternative to gas car alternative fuel car
A lot of these are just cruel. Like:
“08. Never give homeless people change(give them job applications instead)”
Do you actually think the homeless person could even get a job? Besides, who carries around a job application.
Anyone can get a job. We are in the land of equal opportunity.
“We are in the land of equal opportunity.”
No. “Commies” are.
You’ve not much of an idea about how the economy works.
It all works in a big cycle. If you give minimum wage, the employee will have less to spend and so less will be bought, thus businesses will need to cut wages anyway because they are receiving less profit. So really, it’s not up to you what you give them as a wage in some aspects – you should give them as much as you feel they deserve so long as it’s not making your business run at a loss.

“19. Watch songs on Youtube instead of buying cds.”
And put the record companies and musicians out of work in the process.
“13. Use self check out lanes”
And in the process remove the need for cashiers, putting them out of work.
“08. Never give homeless people change”
Give them an application? Maybe for the cashier job I just lost? I’m sure they’ll get it in their hobo clothes, right?
“06. Rent DVDs from redbox DVD”
This one killed me. IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT FUNDS, don’t rent AT ALL and WATCH FUCKING TV!
Better yet, you can save more money by using on demand which is like, $3 per movie, and you don’t spend on gas or wait a while.

“08. Never give homeless people change(give them job applications instead)”
You think they haven’t tried to get a job? It is extremely challenging if you live on the streets, because you can’t show up in a suit, or smelling very nice, which are both things that people take into consideration before taking you on.
