Judging by the info in the article his labour takes up 75% of his revenue leaving him 300k to spend on fuel apparently? I'm guessing there's more problems here than THE POLITICIANS

Enh, I kind of agree with the guy. At some point, you need to look at minimum wage as a social safety net that all companies should contribute to, not just companies that happen to employ minimum wage earners. eg. I run a tech company. This guy runs a tomato company. Each business nets $100k at the end of the year. There is a problem though, people in low income brackets can't afford food and housing. We increase minimum wage by 40%. My software company is completely unaffected. This guy's costs go up by 400k. Why is it just the responsibility of the tomato guy to fix this problem? In Ontario, the provincial tax rate is 5% for income under 40k, in Alberta it's 10% up to 125k. They could lower the tax rate for low earners and make it up by increasing the tax rate on high earners and corporate profits to distribute that social responsibility. It seems a little unfair to focus all the responsibility onto a small set of businesses. As the tech guy though, I like it but I feel a little dirty about it

Businesses that complain about minimum wage increases deserve to fail. If you are on the razers edge that an increase of $1 to wages is going to hurt your business you really need to take a look at yourself. Wage should be around 20-30% of your rev

Wind and Mobilicity were fine in Toronto. I don't know why anyone would be optimistic about Shaw ownership. Shaw already "competes" with Rogers for cable TV and internet in a good chunk of the country and it doesn't seem to have helped competitiveness all that much. On the other hand, real competition from provincial providers like MT and SaskTel seems to make a huge difference.

yeah that's the one thing that I don't like about the carbon tax policy, it is giving anti-NDP people plenty of ammunition to blame the NDP for "destroying the economy" and "ruining businesses" and the media will eat it up because it is sensationalist news and that's what gets people clicking links and reading useless drivel. So gas will be expensive like it is in every other province now, well thems the breaks Albertans, but they do have a point in that is the ANDP prepared to actually combat some of their complaints? This guy is claiming that he is closing his greenhouse because natural gas will be more expensive, he will have to pay his workers minimum wage AND holiday and overtime pay (holy poo poo!!!), and the grocery stores will still bring in goods from other areas because it is cheaper that way. There is something to be said about how what we do here doesn't matter if we still allow other provinces/countries to send stuff here. Now I understand because of NAFTA we don't have much of a choice there but there must be something that our government can do to offset some of the costs in situations like this but then again that's probably what was happening before and now his easy ride has disappeared and he is getting free shots at the government instead of trying to help his situation. What is worst about this is that people will rally around this as an example of how the NDP is terrible, instead of seeing what was probably a lovely place to work where the owner was probably making more than enough profit and not redistributing it in a "fair" fashion. Sure the Dragons probably think it's a terrible plan but gently caress Kevin O'Leary and those dinosaurs

I actually agree with this, and I'm in favor of replacing the minimum wage with a mincome or UBI scheme. It's unclear whether it would actually drive down the labor costs of minimum wage businesses (people might just pursue an education without working a no-skill job, causing market pressures that drive no-skill wages upward), but you make a good argument for why the minimum wage is unfair from a business perspective.

The solution to competition from workers in a state that allows literal slavery isn't to force your own workers to be slaves, it's to subsidize your corporations to negate the disparity and yell at the leader of Slaveland for treating his own people badly.

He was looking to shut it down for about 3 to 4 years, he gets some face time with the media to brag to his friends about and gets to fulfill his conservative dream of kicking Notley on the way out. He paid his workers well, treated them like slaves, but well paid slaves.

A porno runs into too many issues like lighting costs, STI screenings, hoping Duffy and Wallin have the right chemistry, etc. What we should do is just hook up a 24/7 webcam feed of Duffy's kitchen and bathroom so Canadians can see that Senate expenses pay for all the garlic cabbage rolls, fried chicken, and potato salad that Duffy crams down his superinflated craw. Then after he's done, Canadians can be a part of his strained, bowl-creaking bowel movements. You'll hear every chew, every smack, every grunt, every splash. We'll call it the Southern Gateway Pipeline. Amgard fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Dec 18, 2015 |
