*Some small business can't afford that 14 dollar minimum wage*

2019-10-08 22:03:30 UTC  

*15

2019-10-08 22:03:34 UTC  

oof

2019-10-08 22:03:39 UTC  

Yes, small businesses will have troubles.

2019-10-08 22:04:00 UTC  

Either increasing their products price or letting workers off.

2019-10-08 22:04:07 UTC  

^ unemployment

2019-10-08 22:04:12 UTC  

Yes.

2019-10-08 22:04:18 UTC  

This should probably be moved to economics

2019-10-08 22:04:46 UTC  

Probably but I want to see more throttles vs pleth action

2019-10-08 22:04:56 UTC  

Oh me too but

2019-10-08 22:05:09 UTC  

That can happen in economics lol

2019-10-08 22:05:23 UTC  

No u

2019-10-08 22:05:37 UTC  

throttles subscribes too much to these brainlet tier economic theories though

2019-10-08 22:05:41 UTC  

Fuck, you got me

2019-10-08 22:05:41 UTC  

he takes them as the gospel

2019-10-08 22:05:54 UTC  

when in reality they have a very loose statistical correlation with anything

2019-10-08 22:09:33 UTC  

in economics courses they really need a disclaimer that says, this is all just if we assume x, y, z... are true

2019-10-08 22:10:11 UTC  

Yes, there are many variables but we teach the most likely outcome in most cases.

2019-10-08 22:17:50 UTC  

@Pelth not really, these economic theories is what our economic systems are based off

2019-10-08 22:18:31 UTC  

Also provide a citation for "loose statistical correlation with anything"

2019-10-08 22:21:59 UTC  

My main beef with MMT is the jobs guarantee

2019-10-08 22:22:41 UTC  

I feel they also overstate the tax-as-demand function, partly because they are correct on the EARLY history of money, but they don't say much about the last 500 years

2019-10-08 22:23:12 UTC  

Bringing Grabers stuff into the mix was good but that sort of pre-history misses so much since say Italian banking in the late middle ages and on

2019-10-08 22:26:40 UTC  

their identity of gov deficit equal savings is also broken, but it's hard to argue because they have redefined the meanings of things like 'asset' with regard to the balance sheets of central banks. Monetary policy and fiscal policy are very different beasts.

2019-10-08 22:27:46 UTC  

Minimum wages are silly, there is no need to directly interfere in labor market. A UBI is a better tool, give it without means testing and you get the same results without the need for technocrats in the middle, which I suspect is part of the issue

2019-10-08 22:27:46 UTC  

GG @Sh0t, you just advanced to level 2!

2019-10-08 23:53:01 UTC  

Yeah, and minimum wages are hard to enforce. Lots of times work that the workers do at home that they still get paid for (ie someone makes a presentation to present at work the next day) goes under the radar

2019-10-09 00:15:07 UTC  

good point

2019-10-11 03:54:42 UTC  

All other religions are false prophets

2019-10-11 03:54:47 UTC  

Obamism is where it's at

2019-10-11 04:55:51 UTC  

Careism

2019-10-11 12:19:45 UTC  

Didn’t they cost 1400 dollars

2019-10-11 16:41:39 UTC  

3,000 but there was only ever a small number released for sale

2019-10-11 16:42:10 UTC  

People probably have bots or some shit to order the shoes when they go on sale

2019-10-11 16:42:56 UTC  

99% of people just buy them because their price instantly increases

2019-10-11 16:43:15 UTC  

For collectible value

2019-10-11 17:16:51 UTC  

*Not the first or last time, christians profited from God*

2019-10-11 18:30:49 UTC  

Or did they just spread his influence

2019-10-11 19:59:42 UTC  

Both
