Yes, I did. What I am saying is that a rise in the minimum wage will not, in the long term, lead to a lower rate of employment.

Simple

You conceded this

i mean he said "you know what" and didn't say anything for a bit

No I didn't

you're looking at smoke and mirrors

Colonel. Can you do anything other than make personal attacks and meme?

oof

Employment increasing is very easily due to population, but people LOSE jobs

Not to mention the real unemployment rate

I think an article like this will explain my point better than I could.

Here's one

http://www.aei.org/publication/lets-review-the-adverse-effects-of-raising-the-minimum-wage-on-teenagers-when-it-increased-41-between-2007-and-2009/

Considering alot of min wage jobs are occupied by this very demographic

"Employers can
reduce hours, non-wage benefits, or training. "

Also inflation

So in the end you don't get anywhere, you infact lose real income.

Worse trained staff = lower efficiency which can hurt productivity .

There is no way in hell that you read all of what I sent in that short a period of time.

Communism and capitalist democracy are two sides of the same materialist coin

I checked the conclusion

It seems to reflect what I said in a sense

Since less training hurts productivity, reducing hours means less pay

And + inflation which raises prices on everyone

So the people with the minimum wage actually lose real income

you presume to brainlet me? >:(

Even if that were true, it literally has no effect on the fact that a higher minimum wage does not lower employment.

there is purpose in life beyond material consumption

What is it

It does Bane

depends who you ask, but any sane ideology tells you there is something

It leads to job losses

without the min wage we would have higher job growth and more jobs.

religions offer a simple purpose palatable for almost every man

that clearly removes the productivity of an economy.

So it's a relative concept but wrong answers exist ?

From a nihilist starting point each answer has its merits and deficits, and some are better than others for providing a fulfilling life

but approaching purpose from nihilism is a hard thing to do, described as crossing over the abyss of godlessess by Nietzsche and Evola

One thing that is certain is that materialism in all forms is degrading to a people's fulfillment

@BaneOfThots But this is with cetris parribus, it stays on the grounds that the minimum wage won't be hiked again in the future
