I’m sure it’s a great article but the dopes that need to read it, won’t.

It needs to be raised. The min wage I made in 1978 is 14.59 an hour today. 1/2 the country is making 12-15 an hour today and those wages need to come up.we are now a nation of have and have nots and it will not survive as such

Lots of folks will get fired.

The same thing happens that's always happened. The minimum wage is designed to help the inexperienced, often young and minority, worker. When the minimum wage is increased and employers cannot adjust prices to reflect the increase costs, they decrease the amount of inputs they use, including labor. Because they want to keep their most productive employees, the fire the inexperienced, young and often minority, workers.

The next time some stupid person tells you the minimum wage is a good thing, then suggest: "If increases in the minimum wage are a good thing, let's make it a great thing and increase it to $2000/hour!" Even the stupidest liberal might get the message.

Does the minimum wage apply to Mescins? Asking for a friend who wants to purchase a couple.

Supply and demand sets prices in a just world.

Price fixing is never good.

Unemployment rolls increase. Much like the green new deal irradiating oil and fossil fuels used to generate green energy. Idiocy abounds

[redgolum]

Should have set it to raise with inflation and left it.

A) The price of everything goes up.

B) FICA and other payroll taxes goes up.

C) The competition for jobs clearing land mines in W. Virginia goes up.

The US should stop sending money to poor countries and just tell them to raise their minimum wage…

[NobleFree]

”defenders of the measure noted that the same report said the proposal would lift 1.3 million people out of poverty and boost wages for as many as 27 million more workers, arguing these benefits more than counter the lost jobs.”

So ... taking from the poor to give to some other poor is good policy. Just wow.

Small business owners are almost always conservative.

The $15 minimum wage will kill those who have managed to survive the COVID lockdowns.

Just like the Great Depression gave way to the New Deal. This "depression" will give way to the Great Reset.

[SkyDancer]

Lost jobs and inflation.

[napscoordinator]

By 2026 when fully implemented, that will be the buying power of 7.50 they get today. Nothing changes. Although democrats can brag. Most states are heading towards or already have 15 already.

I know some people who work in the service industry who don’t think this is a great idea. Sure they’d like more money but they know the end result would be less employees working twice as hard. Plus they would have no safety margin of others to be laid off before them if their business slowed down.

Semi related to this is lost in the pandemic, last summer’s high school grads and underemployed college grads job situation disappeared down a memory hole. With the shutdown their prospects had to be bleak.

Thank you, President Trump.....

Research Germany’s economy in the 1920’s-early 30’s..

It’s at OUR doorstep.

It's simple... If everybody makes more, everything costs more. It just devalues the dollar.
