DaveWoo posted:Good news, everybody! Hah how about no and  Ice Phisherman posted:I feel like pegging minimum wage to inflation is a recipe for a crisis. When, not if, but when we enter a period of stagflation (stagnation and inflation) and we see nasty inflation like we did in the Carter era for example (15%) you'll see wages rise uncontrollably with inflation and when it picks up steam and the minimum wage raises and picks up people making just over it and so on and so forth you can see a nasty negative feedback loop until it stabilizes. If it stabilizes. That is true... has any country done something similar to see a real world example? Just curious Spiffster fucked around with this message at 04:09 on May 30, 2017 |

Paracaidas posted:To belittle your statement: I'm not saying 'X person or Y constituency'. I'm saying that the people you claim are holding the Dems back from financial egalitarianism put into place someone whose most notable achievements were loving up the bottom lines of corporate America, Food Service, and Retail. Who cares? What matters at this point is what direction for the party that he endorses, going forward. So far, he's been pretty bland on backing economic justice messaging. I don't think that means he's a soulless neoliberal or whatever, but I do think that if he believes that the Dems need to revitalize the pro-labor part of their coalition, he needs to come out and say it more strongly.

Raere posted:It depends on the magnitude of the increase. People who say that increasing the minimum wage a few dollars will cause mass unemployment are wrong and always will be. But increasing it four fold? You don't need to talk to an economist to know that it would have a large effect. Our economy and our businesses are suffering from slack demand, giving poor people more money is the most effective way to increase demand. Other countries already have a $20 minimum wage and it's fine. You don't have to imagine what Economist Magazine might say, you can look at other countries that have had it for years.

VitalSigns posted:Our economy and our businesses are suffering from slack demand, giving poor people more money is the most effective way to increase demand. It is a very real concern that increasing the minimum wage too quickly in a low-wage environment will cause unemployment to rise. This is not a partisan attack, it's an economic reality.

Solicit donations off of idiots, and if Zuck doesn't run, then funnel the funds to businesses you control for nebulous other "political purposes" and you still win!

CelestialScribe posted:It is a very real concern that increasing the minimum wage too quickly in a low-wage environment will cause unemployment to rise. This is not a partisan attack, it's an economic reality. No it isn't a reality because it's never been shown empirically to happen, it's a theory that has a real bad track record of predicting the results of a minimum wage increase. Also irrelevant because minimum wage increases larger than a couple dollars are phased in over a period of years anyway so just do that. Except I believe Sea-Tac jumped to a $15 wage right away and everyone who predicted economic doom was wrong, again

I see we've now come all the way around from "You can't trust what they say, look at what they do" to "You can't trust what they've done, listen to what they say". Comforting, in a way.

Oxxidation posted:He has absolutely nothing to recommend him besides billions of dollars. No charisma, no experience, not even anti-establishment cred because he has all of our personal data. So if someone advocates UBI, medicare for all, and taxing the rich more, you still oppose them if they don't have 'charisma' and 'anti-establishment cred'? (lack of experience is a fair complaint though I'm not sure it matters anymore) Is your complaint about him that you don't think he could win because of these issues or something else? I hate billionaires as much as anyone else but if someone has a good shot of winning and advocates for things that I deeply care about then I'm not seeing the problem. SeANMcBAY posted:He's a multi billionaire. The idea of donating to him is loving retarded. That's fine, but that doesn't make him a bad candidate, it just means he should pay for his own goddamn campaign
