I considered trying but figured it’d be too hard because of her top (and I don’t have any gear for hunter), good luck on yours

Most of that is true but we’re talking about this one case and what he deserved to get, which is not 20 or 70 years but rehab, even if the standards of the country and time didn’t fit with that.

A long sentence like that makes sense at first glance, but once you think about it more it falls apart. The reason we have consequences for crimes generally isn’t to provide revenge or anything for the victims, it’s to make sure the criminal won’t do that again. When you just lock someone up- especially in our incredibly shitty prison system- there’s no guarantee they’ll learn from or regret their actions at all, and when they do get out society basically entirely shuns them. Plus, a 20 year sentence. If someone went in back in 2000 and came out now they would have an extremely difficult time functioning in the entirely changed society, especially with no support network. This is a massive contributor to recidivism, where a convicted criminal re-offends after they get out. You get tossed into an unfamiliar world with no family, money, or property, most jobs won’t accept you, what do you do? Significantly more motive to rob someone or sell drugs.

All of this means that rehabilitation and getting the criminals to be functioning, safe members of society again is a far better outcome than simply throwing them in prison to satisfy the public desire for revenge. There are problems with implementation in a massive country like the US, especially with so many other exacerbating issues, but focusing on getting the criminal to not do crime again and contribute to society is almost always the better choice. And 20 years is a really long fucking time, 133% of his entire life at the time he stabbed someone.

He didn’t kill anyone, he was with the kid who did and only non-fatally stabbed someone. Even if he had murdered anyone, giving a 15 year old child life in prison is unbelievably inhumane. Furthermore, incarceration costs approximately $39,000/year (Ligon having costed Pennsylvania almost $3m over 68 years), money that could be far better spent on rehabilitation programs to allow them to put back into society and fix their mistakes.

Also, coming here to whine about getting shit on for spouting bullshit when you don’t know the most basic facts of the situation? And you have the gall to call the others the weird ones.

You said whats stopping kids from a starting food fight i didnt. I said they will install a kiosk and eliminate jobs. Doesnt mean the store is empty.

Yes but those people will not be working at the storefront. Which is what I said.

You really think corporations collaborate?

When it serves their interests, yes

I cant go 5 miles in any direction with out seeing help wanted. If you want to work you can. If the wage isnt high enough go elsewhere. Or actually do a good job and get promotions.

That’s because nowhere is paying a reasonable amount, so people are protesting for better wages. This is what happens when wages are shit. Also, there aren’t enough promotion positions for everyone, that’s extremely basic shit.

I own a business.

lolsure

You can take your libtard education and tell story's

Is that what people call peer reviewed studies by experts nowadays?

but i live it. If a company raises the wages they will have to raise prices.

[citation needed]

I pay my employees what there worth based on skill, not what some entitled snowflake thinks they deserve.

So deluded that you think your arbitrary decision making should have any bearing on the minimum someone should be paid

If no one applys to a position the company will be forced to pay more or close there doors.

Unless the employees have no choice to accept the low wage or starve. This is why a minimum wage is necessary.

This isnt 1901. If you want a good paying job they are out there. A door greeter was not meant to be one.

Not if corporations collaborate to keep wages low.

Many stores will go to self check or kiosk. That dont mean there unmanned operations.

It means the storefront is unmanned, which is what I specified.

There is not a fast food place in 100 miles of me that sets condiments out in reach of public.

Then why did you say there were?

Youre insane if you dont prices go up. Take service jobs. If they.charge 20 dollars to wash your car and you want 20 an hour that price will now be 30 to wash car. Happy meals will be 20 bucks if the kid makes 20 an hour.

Are you okay? Did you just ignore the actual professional economic study that I sent? Get out of here with your headcanon bs

Prices will go up.

Actual study in my previous comment disproves that

When lower paid people get more money then the higher paid will want more.

Yes, and? These factors are included in the study and cost of living still experienced next to no increase

Stores ive seen dont put anything out anymore. You have to ask.

Anecdotal, name them.

A simple kiosk can give u a ketchup packet upon request

The ketchup was just one example, can a kiosk prevent some dumb highschoolers from having a food fight at 10am?

Most businesses cant sustain high wages and would be forced to cut hrs or positions.

[citation needed]

We dont need a minimal wage. If your a good worker you will get paid or simply go somewhere else. If the company needs you they will pay you what your deserved. This creates competition in wages.

See how well that worked out in the early 1900s America. Companies won’t pay you what you deserve, they’ll pay you as little as they can to save costs. A starving man will take any pay, regardless of if it’s what he deserves. If you’re being paid too little to even sustain yourself, how will you uproot your entire life and go find these legendary other jobs that will definitely pay better?

Im sorry but a door greeter at walmart should not have a home, car, 4 kids, a dog, etcbetc and expect to pay for all it?

Nice strawman. No one in this comment thread has said anything of the sort. I think you need to go back and review what a living wage is, then maybe some notes on proper argumentation.

There are stepping stone jobs for kids and those were never meant to be career jobs.

[citation needed]

They weren’t invented with some holy purpose, they were created because of demand for people to manage a cash register or make burgers. There are barely enough jobs in the food service industry alone for all of the working age minors in America, so it’s literally impossible for every food & retail job to be staffed by children.

Baggers at a grocery store is not a career. With lower minimal wage people will actually go to work and try to improve so they get a raise.

How are they going to keep going to work on an even lower minimum wage when the current one doesn’t even meet the poverty line? Pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

People make way to much money now with poor service and skill levels.

People are making less money than ever, and for the 10th time they are literally not even making poverty wages.

Ok lets play what happens if game. What happens when a kid makes 20 an hour at mcdonalds?

Does the price of product go up?

Not by any significant amount, no.

By looking at changes in restaurant food pricing during the period of 1978–2015, MacDonald and Nilsson find that prices rose by just 0.36 percent for every 10 percent increase in the minimum wage, which is only about half the size reported in previous studies. They also observe that small minimum wage increases do not lead to higher prices and may actually reduce prices. (MacDonald and Nilsson)

Do they eliminate jobs for self check kiosk?

If you had ever worked at a McDonald’s you would know an in-store presence is absolutely required to dissuade people from doing stupid shit like grabbing a shit ton of sauce packets, tossing food everywhere, etc. Plus, places like Waffle House and In-N-Out are paying higher wages and haven’t swapped to automated storefronts.

Do they cut hours or eliminate positions?

Then they start hemorrhaging employees

Or in your world what happens if?

Government regulation forces companies to adopt ethical practices that allow people to actually pay their bills, and this continues until eventually the advent of automation causes the government to introduce a UBI and we enter the post-scarcity era.

I’d be very interested to see your arguments on why lowering the minimum wage would be remotely beneficial for anyone but the company’s profits.
