If $15 minimum wage law succeeds make no mistake

[EatTheRich]

It needs to be adjusted regularly. But it also needs to be understood that the large majority of minimum wage jobs are employing new workers and students. Not people trying to keep up a family.

Fewer than 1 in 4 minimum wage earners are teenagers.

About 1 in 5 children are being raised by people earning less than $15/hour.

You are delusional if you think you can raise a family on $15/hr.

Minimum wage jobs are unskilled entry level jobs. They aren’t for people raising families. By that point they should have the experience to get a raise. Your problem is you want everything handed to you.

 

[EatTheRich]

He should have got degrees in fields that people hire. Anyone with a degree that’s working fast food right now isn’t even trying.

Again, he is working in a field he got a degree in. That degree helped him get his fast food job and edge out someone else who didn’t have one.

Due to the “random walk” nature of capitalist economics, not even a Ph.D. can know what fields will have job openings in 20 years. The fact is that very few fields are hiring, ALL have more qualified applicants than they have jobs to fill.

So no company that employs people during the day when high school is in session pays minimum wage, right? Every company gives automatic pay raises to its experienced employees?

Yeah, you need to dig deeper and check those facts. You also need to figure out that if someone is making $20 an hour now and minimum wage is moved to $15, that $20 an hour employee is going to expect the same raise.

Better hope it doesn't, or your friend MV will have to close his restaurant as he posted...…..

Few small businesses will NOT be able to digest this and many Large businesses...…..I believe an employee should be paid what they are worth

Generation X Rulers Never Ask Y

Wage pressure forces a business to hire better management. In our decade-long economic decline, having unthreatened dominance has allowed no-talent brown-noses to get ahead.

Yea... inflation will happen... Except fixed-rate debt will still require the same payment. So debt represents a smaller portion of income. So anyone with a mortgage, student debt, credit card, or just about any other form of debt comes out with more take-home pay.

Good. All workers should get a raise in real take-home pay, with automatic COLAs, at the expense of the non-working parasitical ruling class.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

American capitalism must truly be in decline if it can no longer combine a $15 (in 2019 dollars ... less than the minimum wage when it was created) an hour minimum wage with employment.

The Present Ladder to Success Puts Inferior People in Superior Positions

Even more telling is that its incompetence in management (caused by irrelevant, theoretical, and non-participating education) necessitates it to rely on outsourcing to slave-wage sweatshops.

"To Get a Good Job" Has Nothing to Do With "To Do a Good Job"

In 1953 (The Organization Man) only one-third of CEOs had graduated from college, and those were mostly sons of the founder who only went to college out of upper-class tradition.

The Bureau of labor says you are wrong

Age. Minimum wage workers tend to be young. Although workers under age 25 represented only about one-fifth of hourly paid workers, they made up about half of those paid the federal minimum wage or less. Among employed teenagers (ages 16 to 19) paid by the hour, about 8 percent earned the minimum wage or less, compared with about 1 percent of workers age 25 and older. (See tables 1 and 7.)

So half of those are over 25?

Slave Morality Prevents Us From Discrediting College As Work Without Pay

This is a command economy run by the Wall Street Kremlin. The employees create all the wealth of the wealthy, so potential employees should call the shots and not the other way around, in which way they're ordered to sacrifice years of their youth in order to make the rich richer.

A manly work force would demand to be paid by the self-appointed bosses to learn what the businesses need. Saying that the rich create jobs is like saying that vampires create blood.

Dictatorship of the Plutariat

His problem is that he actually does exclusively support the lazy, incompetent, and greedy group who you think all workers are. More proof that Leftists are unconscious agents of the Right Wing their Founding Fathers were born in. They are driven by class-solidarity to purposely make democratic labor movements become destructive of economic growth in order to make Rightist ideas seem like undeniable truth.

Most fast-food workers are from the backward races. Their poor service annoys the public, which creates contempt for anyone who has a job that doesn't require a college education.

You’re making excuses for your friend being lazy. After spending as much time in school as he could to avoid work, he took a job in fast food. A job he could have save thousands of dollars in tuition if he had just gone to fast food in high school and worked his way to store manager. He has no motivation to take any of those degrees and find a real professional job.

He didn’t pay for tuition since he had a full-ride merit scholarship. How do you know he could have gotten that job without a degree? How do you know his problem is motivation and not opportunity?
