LOL...They should raise the minimum wage to $50

MikeDamone

I do they expect people to afford a $300k home on $15 an hour?

Everyone should have an equal chance to live in Medina

"Advocates argue that the higher minimum wage would benefit the city's economy by creating demand."

This the the perfect example that demonstrates the level of thinking and understanding of economics that people from this group have.

The robots and I are going to have a big belly laugh at how low skilled, young, or inexperienced workers are trying to price themselves out of the market

I pledge to lead a boycott of all Seattle area small businesses that don't buy in. Reminds me of the bumper sitcker I saw the other day: People > Profits.

People > Profits is what poor people, migrant workers, wealthy but guilty whites and hippies say to each other at Occupy meetings to feel better about themselves.

A few things:

- The minimum wage (adjusted for inflation) was much higher in the 60s and 70s. The economy did not collapse as a result.

- Australia's is about 16 USD per hr., and their unemployment rate is 5.6 percent. What's the US rate? 7.8 or something?

I'm not advocating for some abrupt 50% hike on January 1st 2014. That Would hurt small businesses. But the general "any raise in the minimum wage will kill 3 million jobs and ruin the economy!!!!" nonsense is brought to you by many of the same people whose risky, wreckless behavior gave us the great recession (and subsequent bailouts) so I don't really listen anymore.
