    DoogIP: Serious question. Ever taken Economics?

    Shitstain, serious question. Ever looked at reality with the effects of minimum wage? There's a long history of minimum wage hikes in the US to glean information from. Might even have been taught in an economics class.
    Please provide examples with in the last 70 years when the minimum wage was raised 15 % per year for 5 years.

    The higher minimum wage in Seattle hasn't killed off businesses, raised unemployment, or raised the price of goods and services there by 25%. Keep freaking out though.

    Seattle is a unique market. A lot of high tech jobs and high paying sales jobs. In the short term Seattle has enough wealth to overlook the problems. Try it in Yakima or Spokane and you will see results much faster.
    Oh it was going to wreck Seattle. Seattle doesn't get wrecked, but it will wreck Yakima and Spokane.

    What really is going to happen? Your favorite fast food costs you another dollar? Does anyone really eat enough fast food for that to matter?
    You are such a Donkey. First It isn't $15 an hour in Seattle yet. Second. If you weren't such a world class donkey, you would realize the economies in Seattle vs Yakima/ Spokane or anywhere else east of the mountains are almost night and day.

    But do continue to embarrass yourself multiple times daily on this board. Your are truly a glutton for punishment.

    Awesomed for SCougs Donkey call out. If you've ever dealt with an actual donkey, you'd realize how fucking funny and dead-balls accurate that comment is.

    Look at minimum wage in terms of minimal dollars. $15 an hour on a few years is right in line with historical minimum wage. Have you not heard of inflation?

    Get back to me when it's proposed on the East side of the mountains to go up to $15 an hour.

    The solution is full automation for basic service and manufacturing jobs and a guaranteed inflation adjusted income for everyone under a certain floor. Let people that want to work work, but stop this chicken and egg charade with the proles.

    Whether that's a solution (to what problem, I don't know) or not is debatable, but in 2016 the reality is that if you have a job which is highly repetitive you are at risk for being replaced by a robot or other form of automation. You can be replaced by an algorithm.

    Then we as a society have to figure what all the people with no skills or knowledge or ability to learn new things are supposed to do all day. At a minimum it should bring hookers and blow prices down (at least the H part of the equation).

    The City of Spokane recently enacted mandatory paid sick leave for employers (of all sizes). It is coming because there are fuckwads everywhere who think this is Utopia and everyone deserves middle class lifestyles.

    When the $15 min wage hits a statewide mandate, the shit is going to hit the fan. Kiss Ag goodbye as a prime export in the State of Washington. Most of those fucks already barely make it as it is with current gubmint subsidies. Putin starts fucking with wheat the same way he does with oil and there is going to be a shitstorm in this state. All the other crops are pretty well fucked too.

    You do realize that every minimum wage hike fucksticks like you and shitstain predict the world is going to end. Yet every time all our economy does is grow.

    Honda says prices aren't rising and businesses aren't failing. When confronted with facts that say otherwise, he says, "well, those businesses suck anyways."

    Derek: Did you check Hondo's ID? Sure it wasn't a learner's permit?

    One other thing Hondo's obviously never done: Paid payroll tax.

    Shitstain can't read. And how is a comment on a newspaper website about Pho restaurants considered "facts"? The point, that is lost on you, is causality between minimum wage increase and businesses closing, which you are far from demonstrating.

    I do own a fast food restaurant of all things. It's a side gig and I owned it back when the minimum wage was last increased from 5.15 to 7.25. It didn't have an effect then and won't hurt us now.

    People like you make me chuckle, thanks for the laff.
    Is a corn cart with the mayo jar hanging on the handlebars really a "fast food restaurant"?
    It's actually an MMJ edible store.
    Kreist Donkey!!! Just when you can't get any dumber. If what you say is true and you are more than the bottle washer at a MMJ store. How does that relate to any other restaurant business?

    You mean like the inflation for goods that has been stagnant for the better part of 7 years???? Is that what you're talking about?
