obvious plant is obvious

How do you deal with Idealism and the unfortunate reality that often disappoints that idealism?

Am i the only one scared that a $15 an hour minimum wage will destroy small businesses

Yeah sure it will eventually balance out but for the first couple years small businesses wont be able to pay that much

It will also make cost of goods more expensive

Yeah

It’s literally a joke

Liberals dont think about this stuff, they just want instant satisfaction

$15 is literally the median wage in Mississippi

They just pander to their audience

As much as i want him to i doubt trump will win the election again

Rip any small businesses

Trump wins

Last time an Incumbent lost was 1992

And the economy was bad then

He better

the dow has tanked the last week if that trend were to continue to november yeah I think trump would lose

otherwise likely reelection

Is my fear of small busniesses being destroyed if the wage is raised rational?

minimum wage is a complex issue but yeah it's rational to be concerned

in 92 there was the Ross Perot question

even the economists don't fully understand implications

but you can look at how it played out in seattle

@papagiorgio sup dog

Minimum wage would be better enforced in higher income states and or to rich corporations

Minimum wage is determinant to young people, and encourages illegal immigration

what's every liberal's justification for illegals , they do jobs Americans won't. What they mean is they do jobs Americans can't because they've been priced out by minimum wages

jobs teens used to do, are done by illegals, because you have to pay American teens too much

it prices out Americans who need to get a foothold in the job market, and exploits 3rd world illegals--that's how you should always frame it, in reference to workers, not business. That's how you convince the people

Minimum wage is, even if you totally ignore any effect on small businesses, consumer goods, etc, a morally questionable idea. If there is no minimum wage, more people are employed. If there is a minimum wage, companies will optimize or slim employment so that fewer are hired. In other words, whats better, many employed at a low wage, or some employed at a high wage while some are now shit out of luck? Ironically for the lefties who promote this, it would stratify the *lower* classes into doing ok and homeless. (Then again, they dont care, their goal is to increase government dependency and poverty so they can implement socialism.) Its not that attractive an outcome even if it was otherwise a positive thing. Which it isnt, it does have negative economic effects.

Oh yeah, plus theyd rather fill every min wage job with underpaid illegals anyway. Shafting US and its workers completely cause the wages are not even spent domestically, but sent away as untaxed remmitances.

I agree, I say get rid of minimum wage and let the market decide who’s worth what.

are there even any jobs still at minimum wage anymore?

of course there are
