Nah i like minimum wage

Janitors in schools and hospitals have great benefits and pension plans, that is paid by the tax payers mine you (while the private sector has to also pay for their own) so no, I don think they should earn that much.

I had actually considered telling them that whatever they're doing isn't enough. Like, if they think the wage should be 15, it really should be 30

By putting forth a number which most people would regard as very high you force them to correct you, or risk scaring off the general population

just to see how far I could push them into lunacy

Not everyone has an IQ above 90. Yet these people are denied entry to the workforce due to minimum wage restrictions thus placing undue pressure on social welfare programs.

This is sort of an extension of the 15-30 effort, but its increased to allow for maximum shock value

Raiding the minimum wage will only serve to accelerate automation in effort to defray the cost, driving more underprivileged workers out of the workforce.

There's no need for a legal min wage when the welfare state already creates a wage floor.

Just finished watch chunk vs tuck it was decent the hour def flew by

I don't need them getting mad at me because I apparently showed that they were wrong

and if they start using your 110 number or saying things like "professors and staff should be paid the same" during their protests later you will know beyond a reasonable doubt that they have no goal in mind

they have no goal in mind?

then why are they protesting in the first place

No specific number that they want achieved

Accelerating automation is beneficial, though.

look guyz .. we can be just like termites https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/science/termites-colonies-males.html

Protesting isnt to affect change, its to show displeasure with soemthing

kill all the menz

No larger goal is necessary

I thought we were like lobsters?

McDonalds is piloting a nearly fully automated restaurant in several key cities in direct response to pressures to raise minimum wage. This will get accelerated when that happens and drive thousands of workers elsewhere to find employment and health benefits.

LOBSTERKING BTFO RIGHT WING NPCS REKT

lol srsly... "Now, add “overthrowing the patriarchy” to that list."

I think street protesting is mostly virtue signaling theater.

yes... the termites have overthrown the patriarchy .. by killing all the men...

hm, I think I might see what you're saying. If I give them the "morally superior answer" (Canada is better than drumph's America reeeeee) and they disagree with it, I'd force them to rethink their entire argument?

This kind of automation is also being explored by large companies like Walmart and Amazon who are already highly automated. Minimum wage increases have historically reduced the labor pool of low-income wage earners and will continue to do so by most estimates.

"Tanya Dapkey, an entomologist at the University of Pennsylvania, said that there was much to learn from successful “societies in nature run without any input from males.”"

the termites can fuck off, "real journalism"

Yes thats correct. Assuming that they have no goal in mind and they're protesting for the moral reason of a "liveable wage" they should default to the most moral position possible. Until now theyve been fed generalizations, however by giving them a number it brings them back to reality instead of allowing their minds to fill in the blanks naturally.

I like the idea of putting up more posters during the night explaining this

Just remember to post a picture of them here before you post them irl

hopefully a lot of people won't see me so no one will know who did it

You can't just increase minimum wage and say that you'll "re-train" unskilled laborers who get displaced by the automation as a result. This is a myth perpetuated by politicians who ignore the basic truth that not all people are in fact "equal" and some simply are not capable of taking on more highly skilled work requiring higher cognition.

Because im sure everyone remembers when the media depicted "its ok to be white" posters as "white supremacist posters"

because if they decide that the new number is a better answer, won't they try to reign me in as a "hero" for the movement

They shouldnt, that would threaten whatever control the organizers already have over the protest/movement

how can you be so sure? I'd assume they'd adopt whatever makes them look the best, even if it hurts their cause

think TERFs

Are you a minority or white? and are you a male or female?
