I just can't stand all of what Seattle stands for

those that are decent leave, those who are terrible run there to get handouts

do the dems really want detroit to stay a rotten old shithole

Yes

No.

Keeps them in power

They don't know better.

essentially, it keeps them in power if their base remains a victim

Yes.

No they do

I am siding with pratel.

But they do honestly believe it will help.

Dude, if you grew up in a suburb, even you would feel like something is fucking wrong with Seattle just after an hour of walking the streets

Same @Undead Mockingbird

the smell, the look, the people

it's all fucked

They honestly don't get the connection between their policies and the results, because the effects are not immediately visible.

you can run on a plaform of victimhood as long as you make sure they stay victims

You have to have read Sowell or Friedman.

The ironic things about urban areas are they hate eachother, but they vote democrat and say they love everyone

Throwing money at a problem doesn't solve it

People still think that raising the minimum wage makes people better off.

Urban areas are fucking Looney Tunes

It's like adding zeroes to your bills.

LOONEY TUNES

it does hurt those who made just above minimal wage a lot though to raise it

But looney toons was good <:TimThink:482277772497125378> <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

Everyone says fuck off or flips you off, but they vote democrat?

Everyone thinks you're a creep for saying hi, but they vote democrat?

How fucking backwards

Well, your work has a certain value, regardless of what price you force people to pay.

I hate urban areas for every conceivable reason

The party of acceptance is the least open to others

if they raise minimal wage from 10 to 15, the guy who was making 15 before just lost a third of his income after inflation

Let us say you pay someone to pick apples. The apples are worth $100, but you have to pay them $200 to pick them.

Or he's going to ask for more

That is essentially minimum wage.

Let us make some allwance for the cost of labor.

But, the gist of it is that you are forced to pay them more than their market worth.

what you'd do it raise the price of apples

The minimum wage was designed to be temporary, not for people to live off of
