Wow throwback Republicans watch entire industries being offshored to China and the 3rd world and all you guys worry about is how much a dishwasher gets paid per hour. Beyond small minded, we are in gnat brain territory.

It is not “all we worry about”- we are capable of worrying about the price of things going berserk, and cola not keeping up AND businesses being offshore, all at the same time- heck, we even worry about many many other things too! but thanks for the insults- guess you needed an ego boost this am?

Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.

The bold is mine.

Pretty funny isn’t it, especially from a bunch of people on this site collecting “Socialist Security.”

AI and robots need to replace the bloated fat at the higher levels of the economy. If it doesn’t, it’s a waste of time & money.
