A $15/hr minimum

And life made a lot more sense to me

the republican stances aren't positive cuz they're realistic, and have solutions, not goals

15/hr min is dumb, it needs to adjust with cost of living and inflation

its not "lets make the world a better place" its "Lets keep things stable"

Not everywhere is the same a single rate will not work

Why want a unrealistic goal

cuz it sounds good on paper

and western people don't have concern for life anymore, so they have concern for moral goodness

Tim wants to live in a van down by the river.

I want to live in a small home.
But I can't even afford a studio because col is fucked compared to minimum wage

And I live in the jurisdiction of the socialist state of Seattle.

pff

come back when you have 52% tax for anyone earning more than 60k per year

then go and call something socialist

We have the highest minimum wage in the nation and a socialist in the city leadership

I'm in Europe, the democratic party is looking capitalist to me

Lol

I liked bernies idea of max wage for ceos based off the average income of their employees

No

Cause the rampant wealth hording is bad imo

That just leads to LESS employees to keep the average up.

they don't hoard it into a big bunker like Scrooge McDuck though,

Most of that money is invested back into the country

Yet the income they pay their workers has not kept up with inflation

thats cuz the jobs aren't worth more than that

if you want higher wages, get less employees that can do the job

if the company wants the work filled they'll have to up wages in order for people to say "i wanna work there"

But the value of that money has gone down

no

the value of the JOB has

if i get the choice between hiring you, or someone equally qualified for 50% of the cost

Why would i hire you?

that job lost 50% of its value right there

If on the other hand i don't, and I NEED you for the job, i'll be like "Name your price, just come work for me"

And why is it that those jobs are not worth more? Because there is too much supply of labour.

That is a prime example of why intervention is needed

yes, but not on the company, its intervention on the immigration,

the supply/demand for jobs is shifted that theres too much supply of workers, not enough demand

If you want higher wages, have there be too few people for the jobs, so companies are forced to compete over who they can hire

Work for me! I'll pay you more than that other company!

There will always be more people then jobs unless you curb child birth

child birth has stabilised in the west

and yes there will always be more people than jobs,

But would you rather have 1 among 100, or 1 among 1000 to pick from?
