    They find out what you would do... then do the opposite.

    Quite honestly, Hondo, your posts are difficult to unravel.

    "businesses price their products to get the demand they need."

    What?

    Shitstain, is that concept lost on you? OK. How do you think businesses price products then? I'd like to hear this.
    Yes. It is. Because it's fucking retarded. I think I know what you're trying, but failing to say.

    Is English your second language? Or are you just a shitty writer?

    There are several factors involved in pricing products, Hondo. Hence, your question is as poorly presented as your previous writing attempts.

    BTW, "skidmark" is way funnier than "shitstain," which I think you were trying for.

    Disagree.

    Nice non answer. For the record, shitstain and others have implied that the smart decision is to raise prices just because costs go up. And that's an effective pricing strategy.

    The fallacy of the the $15 minimum wage (any minimum wage actually) is that it prices people who can only provide $14 worth of value out of the market entirely. The unseen victim in these transactions are the people who never were offered jobs who maintain an income of $0/hourly because they're priced out of the market relative to their labor value. If you were really concerned about the welfare of poor people you would be against the minimum wage altogether.

    Absolutely,

    This kind of increase to minimum wage hurts more people than it actually helps.

    People producing $15.00/hr of work at $10.00 an hour will no longer be underpaid, but people performing $10.00/hr work will be replaced by people performing $15.00/hr work. You basically price out the lower skilled worker. So now instead of making minimum wage, these guys make zero which then makes them higher recipients of welfare dollars.

    People making $16.00-$20.00 will lose buying power

    Social Security beneficiaries will also lose buying power, since they haven't seen an increase in benefits in over 3 years.

    You'll actually see the opposite of what it's intention is supposed to be. You'll actually see an increase in poverty in general, and also an increase in the amount of severely impoverished.

    The only true way of wealth growth is through job creation. 40% increase in minimum wage will actually take jobs away from the unskilled worker, which the minimum wage is supposed to protect.
