The min wage will be tied to inflation and the rivers will be of blood whilst the angels weep.

The increase to $15 should be retroactive.

JeffersonClay posted:We know, with certainty, that setting minimum wage = living income would not actually provide all poor people with a living income because many poor people do not earn wage income. Jesus titty loving Christ. You make poo poo swilling baboons look like scholars. Yes, people who don't earn a wage won't receive an increase of wages when the minimum wage is increased. Now, what the gently caress does that have to do with anything? Are you under the impression that any given act to help poor people has to help all poor people? Were you born this stupid or did you have to go to a trade school for this? Needle exchange programs help prevent the spread of disease among poor people addicted to drugs. They won't do much directly to poor people who aren't addicted to drugs, but since they don't help ALL POOR PEOPLE EVERYWHERE I guess they shouldn't be implemented. People harp on the minimum wage because it is politically feasible: 1. The minimum wage currently exists. Whatever alternative reality fantasy solution you have doesn't exist. 2. The minimum wage has been increased before without an economic holocaust. Whatever alternative reality fantasy solution you have doesn't exist. 3. One of the two major political parties in America has expressed interest in raising the minimum wage. Whatever alternative reality fantasy solution you have doesn't exist.

wateroverfire posted:It's manifestly true that cost of living, and thus the cost of providing labor, is a flexible thing. People work for tremendously differing amounts of compensation and, surprise, there are very few who can't make it work somehow. That is literally the world we live in. Slave laborers "make it work somehow". I'm not sure if this is the standard you want to go for.

JeffersonClay posted:If you support the minimum wage as a way to ensure that everyone gets a living income, it's pretty relevant to point out that the minimum wage will never achieve that goal, and that taxes and transfers must be a part of the solution. People don't support the minimum wage or a minimum wage increase to ensure that EVERYONE EVERYWHERE gets a living wage. They do it so that PEOPLE WHO ARE EARNING A WAGE GET A LIVING WAGE. Jesus, you are one dumb motherfucker. quote:A person arguing "well taxes and transfers are too expensive or too hard politically" is also arguing that a living income for everyone is impossible. No, they are arguing that America is a shithole politically incapable of taking care of its people and that raising the minimum wage is the best welfare program you could probably get. People from countries with universal healthcare are unqualified to talk about the plight of the American working poor. Go gently caress yourself.

JeffersonClay posted:I AM VERY MAD ABOUT THE MINIMUM WAGE A "u mad bro?" response? loving really? You have the intellectual capacity of turkey poo poo. quote:And you think there's a lot of political support for raising the minimum wage to a living wage? You're delusional. There is more political support for raising the minimum wage closer to a living wage than whatever fantasy alternative you dream of. quote:More "the only information that matters is my personal narrative" huh? How quaint. GP is incapable of understanding the plight American poor due to 1. Being a foreign motherfucker with universal healthcare. 2. Being a dumb motherfucker with universal healthcare.
