but i thought a 15 dollar minimum wage was supposed to be implemented to people can live off it 🤔

what

the whole conversation was about a livable wage being 15 dollars

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

but if we are having an open coversation id like for you to sum up this article so i dont have to read 57 slides

I think I did.

so out of 57 slides it resulted in a 1% change?

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

when you reference a 1% change what exactly is that 1%
1% unemployment?
1% less jobs?

This weekend I was at an event for a club I am in and one of the officers from another college was the Elizabeth Warren campaign campus-coordinator. I asked him what he thinks about Warren dropping out and he said that he skipped all his classes that day and cried in his dorm room. Lmao

Hilarious

increase minimum wage to 15 dollars > prices go up due to increased wage costs > people at 15/hr have the same dollar weight as before but everyone else has lost money

Equilibrium/Inflation

I have literally no empathy for Warren supporters as she is the most produced and dishonest politician the Democrats had and she had literally no political skill at all.

its really sad how she blamed her not being popular is due to sexism

Lets be real

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

The only reason she was popular was because she was a woman.

When you have a victim mentality, the first thing you do is blame what you perceive to be the oppressor

@armitage I just got here

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

How about instead of increasing minimum wage by law

We deport low skilled illegals and make businesses fight for labor

Supply and demand

How dare you propose free markets

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

fucking racist! /s

Construction needs more workers and for some reason they start giving an assload of benefits

because they can't meet demand

Wow, it's like a model or something

We NEED lower net immigration

It's better for American quality of life

i agree

there is nothing preventing a company from hiring illegals for less than what they pay Americans

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

"they do the jobs americans don't want to do", you mean the jobs they don't want to do for a nickel an hour? And if illegals weren't here the companies would have to pay more?

starting to sound like a libtard

Insults are the lowest form of argument
