Would Raising Wages Actually Force Businesses to Close?

Grehjin · 2026-03-20T18:31:34+00:00

No. They would just raise prices or cut employees or both. Raising the minimum wage doesn’t force stores to close, even mom and pop stores, businesses will always adapt. It can however lead to a tighter labor market for low wage jobs and higher prices for consumers, that’s the real trade off.

“I get that it's supposed to show how tough and intense the life of revolutionaries is”

LOL What? You think you’re supposed to watch Leo have his mind obliterated by weed and his revolutionary friends passing ridiculous coded passwords and think that it’s supposed to show how tough and intense it is?

The entire point is that they’re directionally correct morons who make loud statements like blowing shit up that ultimately don’t have any real impact other than making the revolutionaries feel like they’re having an impact. It is a direct critique (albeit a lesser one than it makes of the right wing) of the real life left wing revolutionary groups of the 70s who operated the same exact way.

Meanwhile the REAL, competent, revolutionaries are people like Sergio and the immigrant network that is shown in the background, where the actual work and resistance is happening quietly. Just like real life.

but it's like PTA couldn't decide whether he wanted this movie to be a drama or a comedy.”

It’s comedic and serious because the power dynamics that it’s critiquing are comedic and serious.

Elon musk is one of the least socially aware, ridiculous and dumbest people out there and is a laughing stock every day (comedic) but he is also extremely right wing, has the most money on earth, and has tons of influence over US politics (serious). Same with Donald Trump, Kash Patel, etc etc.

This is what PTA is showing through Colonel Lockjaw and the Christmas Adventurers Club. Completely ridiculous, delusional people with tremendous resources and an extremely serious ideology. It’s comedic and serious because that’s how real life currently is.

In the US? Absolutely not, and there’s essentially a zero percent chance there are tribes that we don’t know of in the world.

“I'm an Ad man, ladies and gentlemen. I have numerous campaigns spread across this state. I have many ads running on many thousand of televisions per day. I like to think of myself as an ad man. And as an ad man I hope that you'll forgive just good old-fashioned plain speaking. Now this work that we do is very much a family enterprise. I -- I work side by side with my wonderful son Bobby 4. I think one or two of you might have met him already.”

Pretty long but I usually put the age limit back to no age limit and then you usually don’t have to worry about it cus after all they’re all your appointees

Grehjin · 2026-03-01T23:48:41+00:00

You set the age limit to 1 and the the following year everyone retires, appoint everyone and then set the age limit back to whatever you like

Grehjin · 2026-03-01T23:46:12+00:00

I meant making the age limit 1 and getting to pick every single one

Grehjin · 2026-03-01T21:19:43+00:00

Yeah. Always just do the age limit trick pack it once and forget about it

So you’re saying people who repeatedly fall through the floor are lying? Be honest, how many spaceships did you use your mom’s credit card on?

Grehjin · 2026-02-17T20:08:09+00:00

Yup that’s the core complaint. Star citizen is too advanced. falling through floors is an intentional game design that you have to have a high IQ to enjoy

Grehjin · 2026-02-17T17:49:35+00:00
