(part 2)
Yes McDonalds has more than the Big Mac, but it's the "Iconic" Burger, so that's why it's used. This isn't accounting for Shift Supervisors or Managers, this is just Employees. Lets add a Shift Manager, and say they make $10.00 right now, and subtract the counter person. This brings the Labor costs to $24.50. McD's would need to sell 5.6321 Big Macs. OK, so same labor, and keep the same spacing of shift supervisor to employee wage (Difference of $2.75), to the $15.00 Minimum Wage. Labor Costs would be $47.75, meaning that McD's would need to sell 10.97701 Big Macs per hour. This isn't counting the lights and power to run the equipment and registers. This isn't counting the price of product. This is just Labor. I can give proof of concept in real time right now. $4.39 is the price where I live. In Los Angeles, California the price of a Big Mac is $5.89. Minimum Wage in Los Angeles is $13.00/hr. Same Burger, same stuff to make it, but $1.50 more in Los Angeles than where I am. So tell me that I am wrong when I state facts #1 and #2. Show me proof that I am wrong. Yes, I would like to see a wage increase, but not to where it's going to kill small businesses and cause companies to not hire as many employees. Yes I used McDonalds, but they are a national brand, so it was easy to compare prices between different areas.

2020-10-23 15:35:52 UTC  

He's being influenced by Russians obviously

2020-10-23 16:27:09 UTC  

@little hollow for sure, 100%

2020-10-23 16:37:29 UTC  

If theres no evidence, then why dont we make the minimum wage $50 an hour and make everyone instantly rich

2020-10-23 16:38:25 UTC  

Small incremental wage increases may not put people "out of business" but it does pass the cost on to the consumer and contribute directly to inflation.

2020-10-23 16:39:14 UTC  

But doubling the minimum wage to 15 would can a massive spike in unemployment because theres not that much agility in the labor market

2020-10-23 16:40:17 UTC  

The best thing for wages is a labor shortage and low unemployment as evidenced by 2019

2020-10-23 16:40:46 UTC  

Because it affected all industries incrementally instead of picking winners and losers

2020-10-23 16:48:56 UTC  

Inflation just goes away over night

2020-10-23 16:48:59 UTC  

lol

2020-10-23 16:50:22 UTC  

There shouldn't be a minimum wage. It should be an individuals business to decide what they want to pay certain positions.

2020-10-23 18:16:18 UTC  

yeah 15$ is so 2016, it should definitely be higher sinced daah its been 4 years already, but lets cap it at 30$ an hour so the city liberals won't loose their jobs

2020-10-23 19:01:17 UTC  

A pegged minimum wage ($15) would cause inflation across the board. Not to mention businesses would fire most of their workers to pay their remaining workers in the short run. Or worse, replace their entire workforce with robots for the long run to keep the prices of their products at competitive levels.

2020-10-23 19:17:33 UTC  

the jobs would move to asia

2020-10-23 19:17:47 UTC
