Fried Chicken posted:Remember 2 years back when (former) House Majority Leader Cantor responded to Labor Day by tweeting about how the true heroes are the rich "job creators"? Well the right has come up with a new way to protest the existance of Labor Day - working Ah yes Labor Day, the holiday created to spite unions and socialists, is an instrument of union power.

zxqv8 posted:So, in a rare moment of people actually talking about relevant stuff on FB, I saw a friend's friend trying to convince him that a minimum wage hike to $15.00 would cause fast food prices to rise precipitously. This link was provided: As others have pointed out there is no actual math presented to be analysed. Thus I'm going to make the (probably correct) assumption that the graphic maker made the same idiotic error most do on this topic and assumed labor makes up a huge or near total percentage of cost and that profit margins MUST remain the same as before the wage hike. e: lol and heritage's appendix says that their model is bullshit if managers accept a profit cut.

zxqv8 posted:I think the standard response to this would be that all fast food places would be raising their prices as well, so they would remain competitive in that sense. Sounds like a weak argument, but I'm not sure how to refute it. One place doesn't raise prices and sucks in a shitton of business because of it. e: Basically its in the best interest of restaurant managers to hold prices as close to their original points as possible until an equilibrium is restored and then adjust as needed. Prices will eventually go up a tiny bit but no where near as the right likes to paint it.

Amergin posted:1) Why are we assuming all minimum wage jobs are in restaurants? Because the argument up until now has revolved around that particular topic due to the mis-infographic. Amergin posted:2) Why are we assuming the total hour cuts will fall in your favor (half hours for double wage rather than 25% hours for double wage)? Fair point, let us assume profits are just cut instead of hours because hindering your customer service in the service industry is a really bad idea. Amergin posted:EDIT: I'll take bias over non-existent math any day.

Amergin posted:I was calling out a guy saying "One on side there's huge bias because Heritage is poo poo, on the other side there's reality" while ignoring it was a study done by a liberal economics professor and cited in the New York fuckin' Times. Liberals: Here is a professionally done study with facts and math and here it is presented in a easily digestible form from the NYTimes. Conservatives: Here's a bunch of bullshit Heritage made up with no numbers or math behind it presented in a misleading infographic THE TRUTH MUST BE IN THE MIDDLE!

Yeah including the bottom bit where they admit their model was flawed and the dumb feedback loop assumptions they made to make their then tweaked model work.

My Imaginary GF posted:E: heres the thing with policies you like, one time when Rahm was CoS he came to Obama's office and offered to get PPACA through Congress with single-payer in 1 day, if Obama let him not hold back. Obama proceeded to call Reid on the issue and chat-chat. TrickyDicky D didn't like the idea of unleashing Rahm in the WH and letting Obama realize how independent the executive branch could be from the legislative, and Reid poo-poo'd the idea. So Rahm GTFO to become Mayor the first chance he got. Rahm Emmanuel is a real life verison of Malcolm tucker isn't he
