- $3,000 to $4,000 per hour continuous (24/7): Translates to roughly $72,000 to $96,000 per day, or $26.28 million to $35.04 million per year per business establishment.
Distribution Across U.S. Business Categories
- Small & Medium Businesses / Independent Restaurants:
- Standard small-to-medium businesses and typical restaurant establishments average between $1.0 million and $3.0 million in annual gross revenue ($115 to $350 per hour if operated 24 hours a day).
- Virtually zero single-location small businesses or standard independent restaurants reach the $26M–$35M annual revenue threshold needed to average $3,000–$4,000/hour continuously.
- High-Volume Retail & Top-Tier Flagship Locations:
- Only top-performing flagship stores (such as high-volume Costco warehouses, elite Walmart Supercenters, highly trafficked Home Depot locations, or top-tier auto dealerships/commercial franchises) reach annual revenues in the $25 million to $40 million+ range.
- Across the U.S., there are approximately 10,000 to 25,000 individual commercial establishments/retail stores that generate gross revenues equivalent to $3,000–$4,000+ per hour continuously.
- Medium-to-Large Corporations & Multi-Unit Enterprises:
- If counting companies at the corporate aggregate level (rather than individual physical storefronts), roughly 15,000 to 20,000 mid-sized and large U.S. corporations (out of ~33 million total U.S. businesses) earn $26 million to $35 million or more in annual revenue.
Contextual Impact on Macroeconomic Models
- 30,000 to 90,000 businesses earning $3,000–$4,000/hr continuous represents the combined output of major regional retail centers, auto dealer groups, or enterprise commercial chains.
- There are 400,000+ businesses at this revenue rate ($10.5 trillion gross output) effectively models roughly one-third of the total annual U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). At this scale, even a small 1% to 2% federal tax rate produces vast tax revenues capable of fully funding national social safety floors.
Macroeconomic Analysis: National Income Support & Market Stability
The scenario outlined addresses a core tension in modern capitalist economies: the paradox of localized austerity within an integrated national market.
When income support benefits vary wildly by region—ranging from $800/month in Maine and $1,600/month in New Jersey to over $60,000/year in states like Vermont and Massachusetts—it creates severe geographic economic dichotomy, bifurcation. But, there is only one flag. The price of the Ford is about the same across the country; there is only one MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). As automation and technological displacement reduce traditional wage labor in industrial sectors, workers in under-funded states face severe precarity, economic stagnation, and social distress.
However, this is not merely a regional humanitarian issue; it represents a systemic bottleneck for national corporations (such as automakers like GM, Ford, and Tesla) and institutional shareholders based on the eastern seaboard. Because a national economy relies on broad-based purchasing power to absorb mass-produced goods, localized stagnation in states with low benefits starves the broader national market of viable consumers. Implementing a federal minimum income standard (anchored around $48,000/year, indexed to inflation, and funded via broad-based taxation) serves to re-anchor aggregate demand, ensuring that national marketing efforts and manufacturing scale remain profitable across all fifty states.
There will be a US benefit payment card also. It will be issued nationally and work for anyone unregistered for 36 months.
After that, it must be registered. But, there is no expiry date on the card itself.
The purpose is to assist in the cleaning up of public spaces. It is also to save lives of many people on the edge of formal existence. There is no roll over it accrued balance; just $300 per day and hotel bookings for a maximum of 25 days on any single reservation.
The card is the US Dignity, Honour and Respect Card. The Canadians have the Canadian, Dignity Honour and Respect Card. Click here for more.
