Im the one whos arguing against it if that helps

so you don't think there should be a minimum wage at all, or just not an increase in minimum wage?

Non at all

No minimum wage

RETARD

lol

Gj man

U got em there

you know what, yes I did. You can't have a functioning work force in a capitalist societywhen the workers aren't being paid

We can try discussing the issue again if you want without insults

workers arent being paid?

at that point there may as well be no companies at all and the entire industry run by government

wot

>That never happens
>And yes you do
>If 1$ an hour cant pay you enough to live
>You literally couldn't work that job

Most fast food places in the US offer barely above minimum wage. They all offer around the same wage of around $9/h. So those first two points mean nothing.

@TeletubbyCancer that's what would happen if there was no minimum wage

You do know that there are countries without minimum wage right?
That have great economies @Maxsimodem
Are you seriously that clueless about the rest of the world?

if companies aren't forced to do something, they won;t do it

Plenty of people work jobs that don't pay them enough. 70% of Americans work for 30k a year or less. Most live paycheck to paycheck.

My yearly income is $14k CAD.

@Dragun9500 is there any other way to live though? I probably won't see it

If you're theory were correct then everyone in a country with minmum wage would only be paid minimum wage

As the company isnt forced to pay above minimum wage

So why pay above

Because that encourages people to work there.

I made 19k last year working my fingers to the bone in that plant, that is nowhere near a living wage.

Ok?

19000 pounds?

Dollars

CAD

19k in most countries gets you by

fairly alright

yeah, gets you by

yeah

not with any standard of living though

If I could make $20 an hour flipping burgers why would I want to work as a paramedic for the same price?

Define your standard of living

I also live in the third most expensive city in Canada, which is a sacrifice I have to make to actually live close to my family, since my entire family is here.

Dragun youre just proving my point i dont get you

@Dragun9500 I agree with you but where did that come from lol

having a working car that isn't at risk of falling apart on the road comes to mind,
