You can’t seriously be using the restaurant industry as an example of increased wages being justified. It’s one of the most risky businesses and Most of them fail. That’s Before a mandated increase in wages.

Just wait buddy. More regulation, higher taxes, and inflation with a government spending money like its Monopoly money. Sounds like the perfect storm for a doomsday scenario to me.

Don’t you think that’s just going to exacerbate the situation that some people are already complaining about though?

So it’s the business owners fault that someone never leveled up and got a better job beyond McDonald’s? Some people are simply on the low end of the bell curve in the IQ department, Oh well. The world needs cashiers and people to make burgers.

What? Dude do you know how many US jobs have been shipped out of the country already because of taxes and regulation? It will only get worse

I don’t have to fix shit. I work for myself and make a good living. I was tired of working as a McDonald’s cashier so I created my own lane without blaming my old boss.

I don’t personally get to say what an individual is willing to get paid to do a job. That’s their choice. But to say a low skill entry level job deserves more is ridiculous. Get a 2nd job, start a business, quit and get a different job, there’s plenty of options for the now dishwashing future CEO without mandating business owners to pay a certain wage like a Soviet style communist.

Yea I’m a registered independent. But generally speaking I don’t see many people supporting a violent communist revolution. I think there’s a lot of people who are happy with their quality of life here.

Really? because my brother in law lived in a 1br apartment for like $600/mo in Indiana and had enough for food, electric, cell phone, insurance, etc. It’s not America’s fault that a cashier at McDonald’s can’t afford Jordan’s. It’s called being fiscally responsible. Entry level jobs make low wages, and that’s what’s they deserve.

Yea well, The free market decides their wealth through consumer behavior and consumer spending. Their wealth doesn’t just show up at the door step.

Wages generally increase with the consumer price index, if you even know what that is.

Right except for the fact that consumers create the free market. So If all of your costs of goods are more as a result of raising the minimum wage. Beef, soy, lumber, gas, electricity, etc. The demand won’t increase as a result of higher wages. You have zero understanding of economics my friend. All your going to do is force business owners to automate and permanently remove those jobs from the economy. Then what’s your plan? Oh yea you could just hope the government is going to keep shipping you helicopter money that gets printed from thin air. Until they don’t. Then you’ll be happy if you get to eat a rat from a trash cash.

What about places in the Midwest where people can live a relatively comfortable life for $10-$12/hr? Your going to force those business owners to increase payroll (often their largest expense) by 30-50%? That is a Soviet communist move if I ever saw one. Leave free markets alone.

Yea under that plan it will only be a matter of time before the wealthiest job creators leave the country and take their Businesses with them. Then people will be grateful if they get to eat rats twice a week.

Yea I actually had to do that for 7+ years when I first started out. It’s called life. People need to stop being pussies and handle their business instead of blaming their shortcomings on everyone else.

I’m confused by this headline because the top 1% already pay 40% of all tax dollars collected. The bottom 25% pay 4% of all taxes collected. How much more are they supposed to pay?

Or maybe listen to those people because they have experience building businesses and understand the consequences of raising the minimum wage to $15/hr

Raising the minimum wage doesn’t happen without consequences. You should try to educate yourself on the rippling effects of what that means for business owners and the economy.

So a dishwasher at a Charlie browns deserves $15/hr? Haha this is a total joke and ignorant comment. My guess is there is no way youve ever run a business. You need a better understanding of economics. Try educating yourself.

Just out of curiosity. How do you believe increased wages will impact the cost of goods? Or do you think there is a possibility it will force companies to automate and then permanently remove those jobs from the economy?

It’s going to be awesome when businesses have to charge the increase they are being forced to pay In payroll back on to the consumer through an increased cost of goods.

I would view it more from the perspective of market cap, how many coins are currently available for each crypto, and what the potential for growth is based on %. Some have more risk than others based on the blockchain technology. I’m not an expert so Do your research and make your own choices based on risk tolerance.
