    Where I live, $24 an hour is enough to buy a median priced house. Seems excessive for a minimum wage.

    I don't get this whole minimum wage debate. You shouldn't be making minimum wage.

    It means you are barely functional as a human being in society

    There are so many good arguments about wage stagnation and such it's just such a weird thing to concentrate on

    In February 2020 real wages were increasing at the fastest rate in decades. Then blue governors shut everything down and tens of millions of Americans were put out of work. Blaming the minimum wage for our economic troubles is the thinking of a lunatic.
    Wages increased under Trump because states were passing higher minimum wage laws.
    The state of Mississippi has no minimum wage law. The miniumum wage in MS is the Federal MW. Wages increased in Mississippi under Trump. So are you a liar or a fool Kobe? One of the reason wages increased under Trump was on account of the crack down on illegal immigration and ICE raids on employers. Something you oppose Kobe. After the ICE raids on the chicken processors they were forced to increase their wages in order to attract American workers. This is what increased wages, not an increase in the minimum wage.

    So which is it Kobe, liar or fool?

    The two are not mutually independent, you know.

    Imagine looking around at what’s going on in this country and this is where you’re head is at. Kobe is Sheeple. Sheeple is Kobe. You’re a child.

    The left likes to keep their Sheeple focused on issues that make victims of non-victims, rather than something like our southern border that has become a free for all.

    What's a bigger problem in this country? The minimum wage laws or crime and homelessness? Nearly everyone of our major cities is devolving into crime infested shit-holes. We're ceding more and more of our public spaces in our cities to criminals, bums and junkies. You ever hear Kobe even mention these problems other than to blame it all on white racism?

    There are areas of PDX that I didn’t think twice about going into 5 years ago. Now I won’t allow my kids to go to downtown or areas where gunfire can breakout at any moment.

    My wife had a co-worker recently sell her place in PDX and head further outside the city. When she bought it the neighborhood was quiet and safe. It turned into roaming homeless and gunfire over the last couple of years.

    PDX is run by radical leftists top to bottom. Everything they touch turns to shit. They’re Kobe’s type of progressives.

    Wages increased under Trump because states were passing higher minimum wage laws.

    Sounds like it should go even higher then. Is there a limit where diminishing returns kick in? If so what is that number?

    The hot number used to be $15 and hour, now it's up to $25 an hour - but they claim there is no inflation.

    It means you have your first job or a pathetic loser.
    Even worse. It means you have your first job and suck at it to the point where you don’t ever get a raise unless the Government mandates it.

    I’m pretty comfortable with that post. You guys do stand up and fight, way harder than the libs. What I didn’t realize at the time is what you were fighting for.

    I know you know the answer, but I’m asking Kobe, why shouldn’t it be $35 or $50 or something else? What is an acceptable profit margin in your opinion for a company to take where they aren’t considered greedy anymore?

    Disagree. The GOP hasn’t fought for anything other than their own hides for decades.
