>minimum wage goes to $15/hr >price of food and utilities go up >rent goes up 20-30% >people making decent pay start to suffer >wage cucks reeeeeeee that minimum wage should be raised to $20/hr
Why do people with these "great ideas" fail to see the wider more long term affects of things?
People who dont think raising minimum wage will raise prices are stupid. However its good in the long run, wage labor should be abolished, and those living comfortable lives under employment are class traitors.
Jaxon Evans
Is it good in the long run? NYC is having a tough time with it already
Adrian Jones
why stop at $15? it seems a very good policy, it should be raised to $500

Kayden Gutierrez
Its good for accelerationist purposes if you wanted to try and salvage wage labor you would abolish minimum wage entirely and add UBI paid for by corporate taxes. Capitalism can theoretically continue until all wealth has been accumulated under a single monopoly.

Carson Hall
11.50 wage cuck here. I 100% agree i do suffer from it but the only people stupid enough to think we shouldn't just strive for a better job are niggers who don't think ahead. Instead they think for a few years being a nigger with more money in their pockets will be good. Then once shit inflates they will blame the white man again and go full nigger.
Jayden Gonzalez
Instead of paying people more, how about we try having the government take less? Do you think, perhaps, that might help?
Evil rent seeking capitalists? When have rents ever gone down?
Isaac Lewis
Because parasites see people with nore money and demand it for themselves even though the wage increase was supposed to offset inflation in the first place. It's a vicious cycle.
Jose Richardson
More dollars competing for the same products and services makes dollars worth less.
William Brown
Back in the day the right compared wage labor, especially low wages, to slavery. Nowadays the "right" defends the executives' attempts at making slaves of us all. Sad.
Chase Adams
Or should I say, people have more money - move out of parents basement, find apartment, more demand versus static supply, high bid wins - rents go up.
Jackson Perez
Rent will go up along with everything else.
Lincoln Foster
>NYC is having a tough time with it already NYC resident here, and I have to say much to my surprise it's not having a problem with it. The restaurants and shops are still open like before. People are still working. Much like Trumps tariffs (((they))) made it seem like it was going to be some kind of economic apocalypse.
Ian Gomez
that was the communist left, idiot. the right has ALWAYS been for serfdom.
Christian Robinson
I’ll be drawn and quartered before I give up my privilege in the global class to become a local wagie.
>People who dont think raising minimum wage will raise prices are stupid. They said the same thing about Trump's tariffs and the prices have barely gone up at all.
John Myers
I'm talking about the American right in the mid 1800s, not commies.
Wyatt Anderson
/thread. higher minimum wage incentivizes hiring illegals to stay competitive. I’d even say it forces them to if immigration laws aren’t being enforced.
Carson Ortiz
Can someone explain to me why the cost of everything else will go up if we raise the minimum wage? Is the answer just greedy Jews?
Angel Thomas
>why stop at $15? it seems a very good policy, it should be raised to $500 Stop it Cristina
They don't fail to see it. They just want to win the next election and the easiest way to do it is by fucking their opponent and appraising the lowest common denominator.
>Increase wage to 15$/h >See, we take of the poors >Massive lay off months later >See drumps can't into economics. It was a false boom
Elijah Miller
The problem isnt minimum wage being low, the problem is the cost of labor being driven down into the toilet by mass immigration The reason it costs so much go buy a house is because "lel rel estate iz invustmint." Get rid of the immigrants and stop dumbfucks from "investing" in ways that make living expensive for everyone else, and only high school students will be working for minumum wage anymore
Isaiah Ward
They lied. just shows how badly the Chicoms were fucking us with "open markets".
Jace Lewis
THIS capitlism evolved out of the exchange of goods and services, "dem dollahs" that you hold in your hand are a STORE of value with the increment of measurement being called dollar. The dollar is comprised of the value of your labor, stealing people's property and money is worthless primarily because you fail to steal the actual source of value: The people producing the goods, maintaining the farming equipment on mega-farms, and providing skilled trained labor in services like heart surgeon. Capitalism revolves around the free flow of goods, and unless you want to go back to bartering and carrying giant decorative vases like they did in ancient greece, shut the f*ck up niggers.
A positive role models to make niggers at least somewhat useful.
Minimum wage does need to go up though. People have to still live on food stamps and other asaistance while working full time at trillion dollar mega corportaions for shits sake. Look at what the CEOs get paid.
Jaxson Price
Supply and demand. If demand for food stays where it is, but the supply of money used to purchase that food goes up, then the prices of the food will go up to reflect the increase in currency. Just look at Zimbabwe. Printing more money is not a solution.
Jacob Cook
Definition of "Inflation" itself. Increase of money supply - more cash to workers - without a increase of supply or production efficiently. Same market conditions - supply increased demand - people with more money
Dylan Evans
I've talked about this with my sister. She got very angry and told me inflation doesn't work like that and you just have to give people more money so they can afford more shit. Women are stupid and belong in cages, especially my sister.
I still don't get it honestly. If more people are able to afford things, why would the price increase? Is it just greed?
Connor Gutierrez
Most the low income earners done even think till next payday.
Dominic Ortiz
Minimum wage doesn't mean anything if your government allows illegal immigration.
Jose Campbell
I support raising the minimum wage because these globohomo faggots imported an army of cheap labor for decades to keep wages down.
Carter Gomez
For example, currently every woman wants an Hermes Birkin bag, which currently has a value if $10k. Now imagine if every woman was handed a free $10k and Hermes began getting thousands more orders than they had previously. The bags will not remain at $10k, they will go higher to the point that they are once again a luxury item.
Matthew Wilson
All those working minimum wage jobs who barely qualify for government assistance now would no longer receive it. Couple that with inflation and the tax jump from moving tax brackets and minimum wage employees would be worse off than they are now
Jordan Cox
Hours are being cut and positions are being consolidated. Only the smallest of businesses on the narrowest margins would have to shutter from a $15/hr labor cost, the places are going to stay open. It's the employees which are going to feel the pain, as owners squeeze harder to maintain the same profit margins. That's the issue really, the government can declare whatever they want but until ownership is willing to accept a smaller profit margin they'll just keep shuffling shit around.
Parker Anderson
because the price of things under capitalism is simply the most the seller can get for it regardless of supply and/or demand. These things factor in to 'what can be got for it', but psychology also factors in. If all the poor people gain more money, the overall cost of living will increase to just below the point that it totally cancels things out. People will accept this because they will be told its because the raise in minimum wage, and they will still feel ok about it because they are still ever so slightly better off than they were before. The only people worse off are the middle classess who wont do anything because they are still living better than the people in poverty around them.
Capitalism is about accumulating wealth, and so tricks like this are a way to drain more wealth from the middle classes in order to accumulate it further at the top.
One day all wealth will be owned by a single entity.

Hudson Stewart
Am I really going to be the non-idealistic, brilliant savant who's forced to execute you for an inherently flawed and inferior system?
>Why do people with these "great ideas" fail to see the wider more long term affects of things?
Accelerationism is a left wing idea. It's about fast forwarding the Capitalist collpase. This is all about it.
If there had been no internet, no globalization and exporting of job and cheaper goods, inflation would have been through the roof. The Neoliberal elite have only delayed the inevitable. If the US can't afford 15 usd minimum wage (basically what it was as a share of in come when origionally introuduced) it will awaken the masses, and that's when we will rebuild the world anew.
Gavin Walker
So, greed?
Adam Gutierrez
Statistics to back up your claims?
Elijah Foster
So greed?
Evan Kelly
>Hours are being cut That should have been happening anyway. A lot of time bosses are lazy, meaning if a job takes 6 hours, they will let someone do it in 8. But now the economics have not made that feasible. > positions are being consolidated Again, efficiency. If one person can do the job of 2, that's the way it goes. >It's the employees which are going to feel the pain I have legit not talked to one person who was against the increase. Bosses were already working them to the bone, now it's just for more money. These gov't increases wouldn't have been necessary if the owners didn't cheap the supply/demand labor pool mathematics of capitalism by importing constant cheap labor.
John Morris
you have to be retarded or a jew to not understand proportions .... >wages are a small proportion of most things unless you are hiring a faggot to be your servant
but like i said you have to be a typical mutt you know the sort of waste of space that already lost part of their dick because they don't want to offend dr kike
>Americans in 2019 Poor fat happy
Carson Perry
Raising the minimum wage does nothing but look like people are being paid more.
Minimum wage increases inflation and makes the economy worse because companies would spend less and invest less. It actually increases taxes due to higher pay and the government would invest less since things would get too expensive.
Here's a solution, lower taxes which motive people to spend more and invest more. More money flowing, better economy and more job opportunities.
Xavier Butler
No. Supply and demand. If the supply of cash goes up, the supply of materials needs to go up with it. If the supply of materials goes up and cash remains normal, prices go down. If the supply of cash goes up, but the material production remains normal, then prices go up.
Angel Bennett
It's pretty commonly understood by anyone who has bothered reading about this stuff. There are tons of sources. You could try, for example, From Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth. The basic idea is that if you work for a wage you're not much different than the Roman slaves who had to work to be set free from their masters.
Colton Stewart
Worker production rose for decades without a corresponding rise in compensation. Try again.
Christopher Ramirez
This. And I will admit I'm VERY surprised by the results. I read about the good stuff in Seattle about the minimum wage but thought it wouldn't work in NYC, but it has. Literally nothing has gone up in price (or barely) and there hasn't been a retail apocalypse because of it.
Parker Morgan
>People who dont think raising minimum wage will raise prices are stupid. Why wouldnt prices go up?
Despite some side issues, this is a far better implementation for the nations economy than the fucking commie bullshit. Nothing gets through to them >everyone gets free money >paid for by everyone
Parker Phillips

Daniel Rogers
they would go up, which is what my post says
Jose Hughes
They even put a loser in the front of their sign. At least they aren't embellishing how they actually look.
Imagine belonging to this group of dumb-fucks.. makes me sick. The first job I ever worked paid minimum and it wasn't at a fast food joint, it's called dignity. I did it for a couple of months and then found something better. That was literally the first and last time I was ever paid minimum.. and this was during a time when unemployment rates were horrendous.
Matter of fact, unemployment nowadays is at an all time LOW. There's no excuse!
Yup. The people defending low minimum wages are just repeating the corporate propaganda they've unwittingly been fed.
Gabriel Gutierrez
>Why wouldnt prices go up? Because they DIDN'T. They didn't go up in Seattle. They didn't go up in NYC. Boomer owners are afraid to raise prices because they think the other boomer owners won't follow suit.
Ethan Cooper
Please show me where the Bible says anything about a minimum wage
Lincoln Reyes
to a point, yes. also think about fixed supply. i dont want to teach a class on communist economics here, but have a quick read about food distrubution and sale in Zimbabe. Venezuela fuel prices is another great example.
Dylan Adams
Nice schizo posting. You must be the Jew to try justifying why wages didn't rise for decades.
Carter Jenkins
5 , 15, 25 it dosen’t matter what the nominal wage is. It’s the ratio of rent to wages that needs to be lowered
Hunter James
>From Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth Imagine being this much of a kike faggot
you didn't understand proportions that's why you became an assistant professor of kike studies >SAD
>imagine being such a dumb mutt kike faggot you think a political scientist can make economic arguments
Supply and demand motherfucker. You live in an average apartment, suddenly everyone gets more money and the people who were below you can now afford to live in your apartment. You've got dozens of people willing to live in your space while paying more money than you. Either you pay up, or someone else will. Naturally the middle class will be most affected by this, the poor will feel better, but nothing's really changed for them. The rich still get richer. All this does is gut punch the middle class. That's what it's designed to do.
Samuel Kelly
>They didn't go up in Seattle. >They didn't go up in NYC. Because these places already have a high cost of living and almost nobody making the federal minimum wage
Nathan Brown
Yup. I make $75k a year and this would fuck me. Sounds like a lot right? But after rent, student loans, car payment, car insurance, food, health insurance, electric, internet, it drains quick. This is essentially an unofficial tax on middle class america
You realize Seattle is an outlier, right? A local minimum wage increase is actually great, that’s how this country is supposed to operate. However, a federal wage increase would destroy middle america and small business. You cannot implement the same ideas in rural Indiana that you do in tech giant cities with high cost of living.
Jackson Lee
It's pretty much just a market correction of something that should have been happening all along.
Austin Nelson

Cooper Gray
I live in NYC and internet prices and electricity prices went up. Companies like McDonald's have fired some of their staff in NYC and replaced some cashiers with computers that take your order.
Henry Anderson
Yeah, instead of making an argument you casually, without any thought, dispute the credibility of the source. Typical idiot.
Austin Thompson
Yes an no. The poor already dont pay taxes. Working class pay very few taxes, and very easy to get deductions. Rich and middle classes would be benefited from it.

Too bad both parties in the U.S. want to exasperate housing demands by importing immigrants for their own ends.
Jace Sanders
>Because these places already have a high cost of living and almost nobody making the federal minimum wage But all you heard from faggots was about how NYC and Seattle was going to have massive price increases, businesses closing, etc. That didn't happen in the slightest. The naysayers were 100% wrong. >almost nobody making the federal minimum wage Tons of people in NYC are minimum wage workers.
Levi Watson
I could care less about the impact on corporations. They’ll be fine. They’ll just increase prices. Guess who is gonna be picking up the tab? Normal people like me. You may not care because your likely a faggot socialist living in mommy and daddy’s basement. But this absolute fucks the middle class
sounds like someone can barely afford their apartment ?
your argument is that the homeless people who work at mcdonalds will because they get paid 20 more dollars a day are going to pay cash foe you apartment which will cause your landlord to break your lease ? OMEGALUL
How many is tons? if raising has no effect then why not raise it to $100
Christopher Garcia
Yes unclean shill, lets stir up support for the profits of the accursed Jew to the detriment of your countrymen. What a fine idea.
Jaxon Ramirez
I agree with you. And I would even go further to say policies should be implemented to protect small businesses, since they're the ones who often end up hurting the most from these compulsory wage increases.
Juan Powell

This was going to happen whether the minimum wage increased or not.
Isaiah Sullivan
It should be even more our wages haven't increased for decades
