You build men with your unrestrained honesty. Even when I hear you say things that hit me in areas I lack in I support you a million percent. You're that man that all men need to hear. You tell it exactly like it is. But I see your concern for people. It's not slanderous. It's constructive criticism. Respect King.
I agree with a lot things Marquett said but he needs to understand that not everyone who has skills set to create a job there will always be people on production line so when we talk about wage raise is about to make sure that those people on production line may have a valid standard of living if this guy is really genius should understand that people like Friedrich Engels didn’t stood for nothing. No one is saying a employer must have same earning as employee , all we are saying is employee should be paid to the level they can afford price market . And if u bring this shitty idea of why people settle for minimum wage , 7 weeks of grave could send America into chaos , if all production line workers decides to refuse to go to work for one week , u can’t have milk in fridge , vegetable , potatoes , meats ..in next week and on that exact moment u can realize what we are talking about . Yes we understand that every man /woman has to have that mindset of let me settle but I will prevail and create my own business but for a million reason not everyone who achieves it , and that’s ok .

Well said Mr. Gulley
@@kdavis6318 - My brother your missing Marquett's point entirely. The conversation was about minimum wage, understanding first off the word implies a floor...MINIMUM. This in itself should be a catalyst for low wage earners to aspire for more than just settling for a "MINIMUM WAGE" when there's a massive global marketplace for you to explore financial advancement.
The problem with many low wage workers is that they settle, and that's fine if you truly will accept the consequence for settling. But here's where the problem comes in...Whenever SOME low wage worker that decided to settle for being an employee and part of the labor force sees the acquired assets and privileged lifestyle that business owners and high yield earners ascertain for themselves, that's where ENVY rears its ugly head. Because if it was just about selft sustainment to live a meager life, then low wage Americans would acknowledge the reality of how rich this country is where you have the liberties you do to live a meager humble lifestyle. But it's never enough, poor people have a tendency of wanting champaign when they only have a beer budget.
@@OneEphraimite ...What? It’s a living wage so people who don’t have to work themselves to death to be able to have a stable place to live. eat, and sleep. No one is saying anything about lavish exclusives. That’s the definition of a strawman.
I fundamentally disagree with Sam, but he has my respect for debating the big homie at length.
@@Dk0617 I do not disagree with you, but Sam is arguing because he believes that raising the minimum wage will do more good than bad. He may be wrong, but he is standing up for what he believes in, which is respectable.
@@kylebrooks9394 Exactly. He stood on his principles regardless. Even though I disagree too, I respect it for sure.
@@Dk0617 ...What is the genuine argument for not raising the minimum wage to make it so people can live off of it? Genuinely curious.
@@Dk0617 So, for the first part, that’s what, 3 cities out of *_the entire contiguous United States?_* Yeah, that’s crazy lol.
Obviously certain states have different inflationary rates, therefore the minimum/living wage should proportional towards said states, because states are autonomous entities that are combined through the federal government. US government 101.
Regardless of skill, workers should at least be able to support themselves, and by support I mean be able to buy at least a meal a day and a place to stay. That shouldn’t be some privilege you earn.
Minimum wage *_was_* intended to be lived off of. In fact, it was supposed to be enough money to where a man was able to support himself and his family with it. The problem is, minimum wage isn’t tied to organic inflation, and can only be raised via legal action.
The majority of large companies with global chains can easily raise the minimum wage to, say, $15 without losing *_any_* profits/rents.
Jobs get automated all the time. Raising minimum wage to a living wage isn’t going to increase the rate that automation occurs.
Economists around the US are all in support of raising the minimum wage, yet for some reason, instead of listening to the people who study it on a nuanced level, these emotional narratives get created and peddled.
edit: peddled *
@@Dk0617 Reread my comment again. I said originally intended. The minimum wage was created in the 1930s, one of the many amendments made to the economy during the Great Depression. That’s significantly more than two decades, and the minimum wage was last raised in 2008, so that statistic you provided bottoms out, although no one was living off of 5-7 dollars an hour in the early 2000s, let alone today.
If the minimum wage actually kept up with inflation, it would be somewhere in the twenties, perhaps even higher in highly-inflationary cities.
So you disagree with people who actually study the effects of certain pressures on the economy? What’s next, you’ll disagree with sociologists when they say most behaviors are learned, not inherent?
Oh wait...
He has a employee mind set
...a lazy employee.
More like a welfare mind set
He has a minimum wage mindset
@@MarquettDavon victim mindset thank god for the SaSn
@@ntwalipat2 you can’t help people by giving them what they want or what you think they need.
The only way to help someone is to give them the tools to help themselves, and ideally there will be as minimal roadblocks as possible. Sam wants to institute as many roadblocks as possible. He thinks he is helping but he isn’t and we don’t need him
We need him to get out of the way
As soon as Marquett says “Lil buddy” he’s about to fuck you up.
I used to be homeless and saw how people were cool with being like that... and I work a temp job making 30-40 dollars a day to get out. I never blamed a soul for my predicament. Just got out. People gotta stop begging for handouts n shit.

Came to tears several times throughout this vid. It’s so disheartening to hear the most privileged people on this earth whine as though they’re the victims.
Dear God have mercy on us.
Marquette is an extremely intelligent man. You can just tell
Sam is a good dude. And I’ll be honest. It took even me a while to change my mindset. Most of us grew up blue pill (get a good job, get a house and a wife) Etc. Very few people have that Eureka moment where you say to yourself “damn I can make as much money I want?” Moment. He still believes in that old mindset and you can tell his heart is fighting back at it but his mind completely understands what Marquette is saying.
Damn I am from Baltimore and never heard of you and I am around a decent amount of people in politics smh. Like how wasn't you given a greater platform when you literally brought SOLUTIONS???!!!😤😤😤😤 The corruption in that city is insane. I am an independent with conservative views and they call me an Uncle Tom for wanting us to look into ourselves to find economic solutions. Mad honor and respect to you and thank you for being courageous!!!!
I'm 24 years old student in sweden, Marquette inspired me after i was feeling like a loser
This video is longer than I thought it would be. The kid Sam didn’t actually hold his own, Marquett just had the patience to spread out, iron and then fold his nonsense into something of value for 35 minutes. Meanwhile Sam made the decision to not grasp the essentials and elevate his understanding throughout the process. Thank you Marquett for being an example of calm and patience.
Also, thank you Sam if you’re reading this for being brave enough to raise that point of view and explain yourself. Because I did learn a valuable lesson of self reliance from Marquett as a result of your courage.
Wow!!! Thank you
I COMPLETELY died inside when he said the roof could be leaky 🤯🤯🤯💀
I learn so much from you Marquette, thank you brother
Great job Marquett! The way you talk about your upbringing and communication 💯 nothing but blessings your way 😊
I appreciate that!
This was lit in SO many ways. Definitely subscribing and learning 💯
One of the best self development channels on CZcams. Great work Marquett
10:00 why is marquette pretending like there aren’t like 30 million people who currently are receiving jobs and money from the government. Not to mention all the large businesses being subsidized. Can’t we just subsidize housing (for descendants of slavery) for a generation?
I work 50-60 hrs a week on minimum wage (14.25) and I believe that is truely a blessing and am thankful for being employed with NO SKILLS and NO EDUCATION. Marquett is 100% in that it’s to get your foot in the door to getting some money in your pocket to elevate and use it. Not on comforts but as seeds to grow and bust moves.
@@ashleypello7532 humble my self 😂 that’s literally the minimum wage in California now it’s 15$

@@robinnelson18 what’s your point?

Thanks for the lesson.
You verbally shot that man with a 100rd drum. I truly enjoy watching you crush stupidity.

Fr we need stop being losers.
This was awesome, very interesting
I heard a lot of logical fallacies come from this Marquett guy, and people in the comments did'nt catch none of that🤔
Good shit fam. Saint keep educating these lazy fools
FAX KELLERMAN Out Here. As a person living in a third world country this hit HARD.
Amen Brother!
I’ve been meaning to rewatch this debate ty
Marquett great points as usual but the insults were brutal. You have the game to teach and debate while not making people feel small.
So true...but there is something in me that tells me to put my enemies 6 feet under. But, yes, I'll be nice ;)
@@MarquettDavon Hence the Saint and the Sinner!!!!!
@@MarquettDavon Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally 😤😤😤
We dont have a wage problem in this country we have a lack of skill problem in this country
THE REALEST S**T IVE SEEN THE WHOLE OF CZcams
I APPRECIATE IT MAN
I'll never understand how someone can say that a person who works a register or flips a burger is worth more than that 'skill' entails.
Explain this to me...if WalMart, Amazon, and McDonald's for example are so successful, why do they require us as taxpaying citizens to subsidize their workers with food stamps, etc? How do you have full time employees who can't survive and we have to pay for their employees while they fight giving these people a raise so they can live without govenrment assistance. The system sounds rigged to me. And if we (taxpayers) do not pay for these companies employees to live (and work) then these companies do not exist. Give these people a raise!
@@ahmorgan It's simpl- live within your means. Most of those people who complain about being stuck in a minimum wage job, not being able to afford much and so on, will own the newest iphone, expensive sneakers, they will eat out or buy brand name everything. The list goes on.
Plus, MOST places are paying a lot more now because of the crazy worker shortage. The problem there is that these people are trying to demand outrageous pay and benefits for these basic, high school level jobs. My original point remains- low skill level jobs are worth low pay. Simple.
@@ahmorgan Walmart doesn’t require anyone to do anything.
Walmart pays 12 dollars an hour minimum and more in other places. That’s 26,880 a year
So try this out. Partner up with another Walmart worker and together you’re making almost 54k a year
You’re not wealthy… but you can certainly survive on 54k a year. If you decided to have three kids to a handful of different people and you don’t increase your skills at all to rise above 12 an hour and you don’t have a partner and you’re not responsible with your money…. That is neither the fault of Walmart or the taxpayer.
You just need to do better. You and your partner can put in a little work and turn that 12 into 15 an hour and together you’re now making 62,400.
It’s not Walmarts fault that you are in the position you are in. They offer 12 and you accept it. Work on being worth more than 12 if you can’t figure out how to make it work.
@@1gregmoreira you don't get it, I'll try again. If my employees can't survive without government assistance then I am not a successful company. If we cut off government assistance, Walmart would lose employees. You can't work if you can't afford food and shelter, Walmart can't operate without employees. So explain to me again why I as a taxpayer am responsible for Walmart's employees. I don't even shop at that shitty store, so why are my dollars helping them make billions??
@@ahmorgan It isn’t the fault of Walmart that people choose to work there and accept 12 dollars an hour.
I worked at Walmart myself in high school but it was far from ever being a long term solution
It’s nonsense to take a bottom barrel retail job and try to forcibly transform it into a a job that pays a great wage. That’s not what it is. The rest of the economy will continue to scale against the minimum, so it doesn’t matter what the minimum wage is
If minimum wage were 500 dollars an hour….it would still be the minimum and all other jobs that require skill would pay more
And all of the costs of everything would reflect the new scale. The bottom will always be the bottom. You can’t get around that fact regardless of the dollar amount. You have to get yourself off of the bottom
It’s a good thing that you were trying to educate and Motivate the young brother. I doubt if he listened and not just “heard” you. Everything you said was so far over his head, he almost fell asleep. Keep putting out knowledge for our youth.
41:02 Everything you and Albert discussed was spot on! 💯
Soaking in this ISM💯
wish i could've caught this live. great stuff
Next time!
Facts.
"Im a bum and a vegan" LMFAOO!!!! Marquett is the goat
We are the change , PTTS ⚔️
My first thought before watching this video:
Oh this should be fun 😂
Great vid.. strong key points, great delivery.. Wake the walking dead..💪🏾👌🏾
This dude look like he haven't left that game chair in 3 months 😂😂😂😂
I literally applauded you at 9:57 after you got done saying what you said. Literally, took these two hands and clapped for the TRUTH you dropped on homeboy. Mad respect!!!
Watched the longer stream with this content. Listening again. Amazing conversation at the end to wind down.
Good debate gentlemen
This was gross to watch. Like watching a single mother in male form .... and I'm sure that wasn't even his final form.
I need sum of that juice brother Marquett💯💯💯💯 these is teaching lessons for me brother👍💙

I just bought The Black Box. Looking forward to getting this knowledge and applying it to my own life. Been watching your videos for a while now and I just wanna say thank you for the wisdom I swear I'm at a point where I need it. Looking forward to your future content dude.

remember that people hahaha
We don’t cry and complain on this side ! We adapt and make our own way ! Who the fuck wants to work for someone any ways , this man worried about minimum wage …..
Inspiring! Would love to see more videos like this. Thanks man!
Brotha, this video has sold me. I've been following your videos for a while. The logic and reason was on full display in this video and I'm ordering my copy of Black Box NOW!
This guy needs to travel to a poor country and see real poverty. Might put his whining into perspective.
Forreal he hasn’t seen real poverty
You went hard on him. I love it.
I've watched 20 minutes of this video so far. Totally in agreement with the Saint. I must give props to the other dude for not letting Marquett get under his skin. Marquett constantly made personal attacks towards his guest, which was necessary. The dude hasn't not once so far responded to it. Good job. This is not a good look for Marquette. He is making unprovoked personal attacks.
The Saint spits nothing but absolute truth in this video!
Love and respect from Ireland!
He got on the computer Coffey shop revolutionary 😂😂😂😂
Everything I've learnt from this man and put into practice has literally changed my life im in a 3rd world country filling like a Titan
Love ya my brotha! Peace to the Saints!
Everything out your mouth is gold.
Dude I can name like 5 jobs straight off the bat that pays more than minimum wage.
I wonder if he knows the higher the wage, the higher of the cost of living
“I googled it and clicked the first link” That mindset is exactly why people are so uninformed. This is driving me nuts lmao.
I thought Marquette was going to point that out but damn 👌
Great point on how immigrates can come in and be able to work their way up to the top no complaints. A lot of Americans like Sam have a poor mindset and don’t want to improve themselves to get better results
Get this boy out of here!!!!!
I feel as if you held back Marquette. Whenever a marxists comes on please obliterate them . With that being said excellent work as usual. Keep these coming.
3% of the US are on on minimum wage and move off of it.
There are always going to be people on it because generally the youth aren't as valuable.
I love it tell that Biggs what real poverty is…I was broke and never complained I kept hustling
2 black men having a economic political debate is amazing..who else is doing this?.. this is futuristic
exactly.
Very good debate, two different sides of the spectrum giving great points.
I am anti-marxist but Sam showed the contrary to how many of them act.
38:11 Saint roasting both Sam and Moses 😂
2:45 And if Google employees get up and leave?
They can't. They have limited options to make money. That's why what you just said has never happened.
Legendary debate
Like I've always said if it's lonely at the top it's overcrowded at the bottom. Excellent argument. Best explanation of capitalism i've ever heard.
Damn the professor giving out the lesson to the world. Thank you Marquette your a true blessing brother thank you for using your essence to help others grow thank from the bottom of my heart.
I'm in nyc this young kid was begging in the train and told he will take food but his baby is vegan 😂😂😂😂
"You have a problem for every solution" 😂
Marquett, please be a little empathetic when roasting these guys. These people have familys. 😅

Give him that fucking conviction!!
You convinced me Marquette. Great argument and receipts. What are thoughts on universal ubi
America is the top 1% compared to other countries.
Are homeless people are richer than other countries middle class shaking my head.

Simple, right?
@@MarquettDavon it's a long way, but seeing the results and knowing that you made it on your own, allows you to ask the questions: what's next? what is the limit ?
What these folks don’t understand is this. Minimum wage will always be the minimum wage. It’s actually in the name
If we were to raise the “minimum” wage to 200 dollars an hour…. It would still be the minimum. And every other field of employment that pays more than minimum wage would still pay comparatively more than the minimum
When it is all said and done… a 200 dollar an hour minimum wage is just as valuable as an 8 dollar or 15 dollar an hour minimum wage
And we’re back at square one, where you’re in the same position as you were before at this new minimum, because you can’t rig the game. the only viable solution is to build a skill set that commands something greater than the minimum wage.
Zero Accountability is the only problem here. I definitely get it I see the answer. Wow Bro very informational.
Hey marquette, I didn't like you were arguing with Sam. The young brother was calm & collective. You were screaming, cursing & calling him name, not once the young brother disrespecting in any kind of way. You don't have to agree with someone opinions but you can still have a calm debate . Peace to the saints .
