the point is the minimum is there for good reason and you're basically arguing against that

because the minimum is too low for people to live and too high for stupid businesses that would exist if it were $1/hour minimum

don't you care about my sweatshop that pays $1/hour because I can't even start it

speaking of... plenty of places pay less than the minimum as it is go find a mexican without paperwork

yeah but it's worse because he's talking H1-B hiring people from every country on earth but america

most of them send money home to their families it's fucked

so yeah trump is 100% right

anyway I don't want to go on about a fucking wage just consider what I'm sayin there's a lot to that story you don't have to go full $40 minimum and become a vegan feminist

shut your whore mouth

UPS still sucks my dude

that guy sent me 5 PMs obviously trolling

a large minimum wage hike would cause McDonalds to automate absolutely everything they already replaced cashiers at all 14k locations in the US

so could mean more people need to become trash collectors 😛

there's no need to speculate this stuff has been done and studied

for example https://evans.uw.edu/sites/default/files/MinWageReport-July2016_Final.pdf

seattle raised minimum wage to $11 it resulted in a 1% change

not about the $15

pretty sure the impact on workers exceeds 1% benefit

what

yeah partly, mostly about a livable wage being a valid idea and my point was the current minimum is a poverty wage

I think I did.

yes, increasing the minimum wage resulted in a 1% decrease in low-wage employment

so when you come at me with a speculative idea like it would destroy the market or whatever I am calling bullshit and maybe look to studies instead

because it's easy to make false assumptions intuition doesn't work with complex economics

it *seems* like simple supply and demand but it's not really

@Zephfyre yeah so if you read anything I said you would realize that's not the case

@Noey 1.1% decrease in likelihood of low-wage workers remaining employed

@Zephfyre how about scroll up and read some of what I said so I don't need to repeat it

elizabeth warren isn't popular because the white patriarchy is once again raping and pillaging the native population

starting to sound like a libtard

undocumented immigrants are necessary who else will scrub my toilet and cut my lawn for $3 a week

it was an observation

let all the mexicans in and pay everyone $300/hour minimum health care is free so you won't need the money anyway

I'm bernie sanders and I endorse this message

@Zephfyre move to Zimbabwe you can get paid $1M/hour

they have $100 trillion dollar bank notes

lmao

a gentleman and a scholar

you'll need a wall for that 😉

mars is going to be interesting

I think it will be a few astronauts doing research for a couple decades but after that we're going to start building a city

united states of nasa I guess

yeah except owned by Elon Musk and it's a dystopian nightmare where he runs human cloning and bionics programs with zero regulatory oversight

why else would you want to go to mars than become a dictator

and create human worker drones

ai chips implanted at birth good luck stopping him on another planet

there's one way to find out

murica

prolly already came and got their cheeks clapped

explains why you only see them in ufos

bruh you really need some pussy if you thinking about clappin ET

if Trump wins reelection it won't mean shit

it will be remembered as a pathetic acting out of desperate liberals

all that matters is your vote in november reddit won't be around forever

but the memory of how pathetic they acted will live on

I've been on reddit for 13 years I can confirm

I think it's worse than that

you have kids that are leaving a 17-year marxist brainwashing program to enter the workforce in leftist cities

consuming a steady diet of fake news CNN and the NYT

spending much of their time online unwittingly conversing in fake communities with bots and russian propagandists

thinking they're right but never questioning their ideas

the scary thing about this type of large-scale brainwashing is it is effective on almost everyone

the nazis are a great example of socialism and how socialists in academia have effectively rewritten the history books

yes well the problem with entering a debate with fake and low information news is that you will always lose against someone informed

the devil was cast out of heaven for his arrogance and pride

@krakmonkey what made you think it's the parents teaching socialism?

interesting well it's called commiefornia for a reason

my understanding is that there is a bolshevik secret society of billionaire globalists that meet at events like bilderberg and they have a plan to implement socialism in america by gradually "educating" americans through propagandizing them in higher education and this began in english literature in the ivy leagues and has since spread to pretty much every university in the country

so it begins there, not just with some parents

they are pushing for eradication of American culture

this is history repeating itself look at the rise of socialism in other countries

they have a playbook it's nothing new

it does not happen organically so they need to use these tools like censorship, propaganda, and brainwashing

it has been happening in the USA for decades now

you're finally starting to see actual presidential candidates like warren and sanders out in the open

fully admitted socialists

and the fucked up thing is bernie has a chance of winning because their playbook works

America needs to wake up

a classic soviet disinformation tactic is accusing your political opponent of exactly the crimes you have committed

so think about what the mainstream news has been telling you the last 3 years from that perspective

because this is a communist country we're talking about here

the russian troll farms are real but they're pushing socialism, not fucking Trump

they push it so hard because it works... when you hear the truth it no longer sounds real

russia, russia, russia as trump said

it's exactly the opposite of what they've been saying

the chicom influence is the reason T_D is censored right now

it's only going to get worse unless Trump steps in

facebook has been censoring conservatives as well

"chinese companies" are mostly government owned their form of capitalism is a farce they put elected officials on the board of directors and take over every company that grows too large

the notion that their economy is blended is a lie

they are very much communist

huawei is a government surveillance agency, for example. Their devices are used to monitor their civilians for purposes of control and social credit

they are now creating city-wide surveillance systems

similar to what you have in london

this is scary stuff and it's very much communism

where

right that's nutty it started in london though

there's more to it than that... it's everything becoming a dystopian nightmare
