Didn't watch but the argument over a 15 dollar minimum wage is stupid. The difference between 10 and 15 dollars is couch change in the scheme of things. We start at 25 in construction. We wouldn't make any more paying 15 because shitty employees cost you money doing things wrong the first time
If you want higher wages get on the build the wall train. Illegal labor is cheap labor and hurts all hard working Americans
And leave Cortez the Killer alone
There are multiple anti establishment people and she is one of them.
I can assure you that people have been replaced by machines long before a $15 minimum wage and the minimum wage at the McDonalds across the street from Disneyland isn’t $15.
Automation is inevitable. Your argument that people shouldn’t be paid more because they’ll be replaced by machines that are replacing them anyways is either ignorant or disingenuous.
I said the prospects of $15/hr. That will be the wage in 2022. Weird how businesses plan ahead...
How many remedial $15/hr jobs can be done by machines? 90%? The only thing minimum wage does is put people out of work. You actually hurt the people you are trying to help. This APAG is what ignorance is...
Got any evidence of that? Remember when they said it would destroy jobs in downtown Seattle? What do you think had happened since minimum wage came in? It sure as fuck didn't actually kill jobs.
What kind of jobs are you talking about? I can assure you that it's harmed the lower-wage earners. Remember when the City of Seattle and its disgraced pedophile Mayor paid UW to do a study on the effects of $15/hr, UW did the study and it didn't say what the city wanted it to say and the city ended up burying it?
Seattle’s minimum-wage law is boosting wages for a range of low-paid workers, but the law is causing those workers as a group to lose hours, and it’s also costing jobs, according to the latest study on the measure passed by the City Council in 2014.
The report, by members of the University of Washington team studying the law’s impacts for the city of Seattle, is being published Monday as a working paper by a nonprofit think tank, the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Is Mexico paying for the build-the-wall train?
New tax on rich Kalifornia liberals is in the works. You have to pay!
Saying that raising the minimum wage doesn't decrease the number of minimum wage positions or the number of hours offered is preposterously stupid. In economics, it's sub 101-level to know this. It's a fact. simple as that. end of fucking discussion. If the price of something goes up, people purchase less of it - unless its price is completely inelastic, and that's not the case for minimum wage level labor. Higher pay, fewer jobs or hours.
The rest of the discussion can go wherever, but that much can't be disputed.

People should be paid more if they have skills that someone is willing to pay more for. Raising the price of labor by government force is counter productive. Also, it will never be enough.

JFC you’re ignorant. Still don’t read I surmise...

I agree with this. Its not up to the gubmint
If you want to get paid more do not aspire to a career in an entry level job

There are multiple anti establishment people and she is one of them.
She and the other SDAs will moderate or be left in the corner locked out of any committees and denied floor time. Unfortunately this isn’t the Student Council.
When mockery reaches this sort of absurd threshold, it just tells me that people are afraid of her.
She is going to probably wind up a star. Look, I think she is dumb as a bag of hammers, but so is Trump, and it's worked out fine for him. APAG nailed it (lulz) I think when he said her brown skin, telegenic looks and demographics shifts over the next decade would propel her. I don't want to see her in power, but I bet it happens. I will most likely hate her unless she moderates, but who knows? I do like her ass right now.

Couldn't agree more. Odd how people expect a job at McDonald's to support a family of four. This happens in many places as illegals and recent immigrants push down the price of labor. Then demand a living wage. Entry level jobs were meant for high school and college kids to work part time. They were meant as job experience builders and life lesson training. They were never meant to be life long careers.

Holy shit, I've literally linked the academic study that shows that $15/hr minimum did in fact reduce low wage jobs in Seattle.

Damn, should have gone to page 2, oh well, I've cited this study and others so many times but @allpurpleallgold and honda have got their blinders on.

p.s. it also actually reduces low wage workers take home pay bc businesses simply reduce the hours they work.
Yes I'm aware of what the UW study said. And yes that was over 18 months ago and yes minimum wage wasn't even up to $15 an hour then. And no businesses don't just reduce hours worked. Any business owner that reduces hours and thus reduces customer service, is pretty fucktarded. They aren't having anyone work any more hours than they have to regardless of whether it's $15 or $10.
It's clear you understand what is taught in economics in school and you've never actually ran a business.

That should scare everyone.

What "free" shit are some of the more conservative members of Congress offering?
