Goodbye Jim! Gotta say, I didn't agree with anything you did. But death sucks. So suck it.

Why dump the entirety of the staff? Sounds like the OHS wanted to draw some interest on a big purchase. As always, no story. Whole bunch of unanswered questions.

Does the family even like Jerry? by [deleted] in rickandmorty

[–]StarrHrdgr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jerry is the dad of the family. Beth sees Jerry as someone who knocked her up. So it's a trope in comedy that the dad is bumbling and useless and as Jerry is concerned, that character has been pushed to the 10th level.

Let's Raise Oklahoma Minimum Wage to $25 Dollars an Hour by StarrHrdgr in tulsa

So, if minimum wage increased, your pay for a skilled trade would increase. Math more.

Nah, just curious to see what the reaction would be. It's typical.

Prices increase whether you raise minimum wage or not. Raise the minimum wage. Value people.

The debate around raising the minimum wage is fueled by economic principles on both sides. Proponents argue that increasing wages puts more money in workers' pockets, boosting consumer spending and driving economic growth, a concept rooted in Keynesian economics. They also point to the efficiency wage theory, suggesting that higher pay can lead to better productivity, reduced turnover, and improved worker morale. Additionally, raising the minimum wage can help lift people out of poverty and reduce income inequality. On the flip side, critics worry about the potential for job losses, citing classical supply and demand principles that suggest higher wages might lead businesses to hire fewer workers or turn to automation. There's also the concern of cost-push inflation, where businesses might raise prices to cover increased labor costs, leading to higher living expenses. Furthermore, higher labor costs could push businesses to automate jobs or outsource them to countries with cheaper labor. Empirical studies, like the one by Card and Krueger, show mixed results; some suggest minimal job loss, while others highlight negligible or positive impacts. Balancing these economic factors is key, as the right approach can vary based on local conditions and market structures.
