I think creating a 15$ an hour minimum wage in China would undoubtedly be better for the US than boosting minimum wage in the US.

it would be cool & fair to trade off with china for a few years so they could try out having a human development index that isnt represented in the form of a gallic shrug, and we could be the ones with suicide nets strung up outside our factories so that the underclasses stop clotting on the sidewalk that sounds reasonable to me, a serious beltway economist

as you approach 10 posts per hour, your likelyhood of being a minimum wage worker declines logorithimaclly and exponetionally

I mean it's not like you'll ever make a difference. 19000 posts @ 1 minute per post, that's only 40 full working days spent posting. No charity could benefit from 40 days of volunteer work.

Leroy Diplowski posted:I've been thinking about minimum wage change to $15/ hr quite a lot because I own a small business with 4 employees who make from $9-$12/hr. That sounds pretty reasonable. There are effects to consider, though, in addition to the income effect from paying people more. What happens when the costs at each layer of the supply chain leading up to you also go up to accomodate the wage hike? Your suppliers have suppliers have suppliers, etc, and all of them are going to feel a wage floor that raises labor costs for like 45% of workers. You will probably find that all sorts of things from materials to transport cost more once everything shakes out, and you may find that as many other businesses pass compounded costs along people don't have as much extra money to drive extra business to you.

Yeah but you're posting on your phone during a lunch break not posting on your computer all the time. Also, less than 5% of workers in the US make minimum wage, so I'm going to venture a guess that most of them probably do some sort of physical job, but I could be wrong about that.

Guys I'm not one to ruin the fun but might we consider that maybe we have gone too far? Trolling should be preserved as a seperate and exotic practice reserved for select occasions, not appropriated by the majority and clumsily flaunted at every concievable opportunity without any regard for its artistic context or cultural significance. Just something we might consider.

The fact that one of your employees was against a loving $4.00 pay raise because it meant his perceived inferiors might also end up on the same level as him is loving terrifying. What is wrong with mankind? Also good job Geriatric Pirate, you lost an argument to Effectronica and PTG.

Was meant to show that you don't have to be on your comp all day to ppst a whopping 13 posts a day. I used to manage that on my bus ride home.Basically I am saying you are retarded for bringing up post counts and the like. Cause apperantly folks can't multitask.

Better idea; instead of pointing out how many posts Effectronica makes, point out how terrible they all are. It's not like you have to resort to some mastermind tactics to make fun of them and there is surely no lack of material.
