Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exposes corrupt “orientation”

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.

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.DerekJohnson said:

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.RaceBannon said:
I agree with this. Its not up to the gubmintMikeDamone said:
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 Also, it will never be enough.allpurpleallgold said:I can assure you that people have been replaced by machines long before a $15 minimum wage and the minimum wage at the McDonalds across the street from Disneyland isn’t $15.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.
If you want to get paid more do not aspire to a career in an entry level job -

Holy shit, I've literally linked the academic study that shows that $15/hr minimum did in fact reduce low wage jobs in Seattle.2001400ex said:
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.greenblood said:
I said the prospects of $15/hr. That will be the wage in 2022. Weird how businesses plan ahead...allpurpleallgold said:I can assure you that people have been replaced by machines long before a $15 minimum wage and the minimum wage at the McDonalds across the street from Disneyland isn’t $15.

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...

UW Study Finds Seattle's Minimum Wage is Costing Jobs
p.s. it also actually reduces low wage workers take home pay bc businesses simply reduce the hours they work. -

What "free" shit are some of the more conservative members of Congress offering? -
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.BleachedAnusDawg said:
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?2001400ex said:

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. -
How much did we add to the military this year? More than the total the government pays for food stamps. Chew on that.greenblood said:

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.UW_Doog_Bot said:

It's clear you understand what is taught in economics in school and you've never actually ran a business.
