RchHomieQuanChi 02/24/20 10:35:10 PM #65:	Let's also get one thing straight here. Small businesses are also competing with larger companies to attract talent. Many of them already offer higher than minimum wages or, if not, more benefits. Most proposed minimum wage increases are to address the fact that while the cost of everything is getting higher, wages have largely stagnated. Keeping wages at $7.25 isn't helping minorities, so I'm not sure how exactly that's supposed to be an argument against increasing the minimum wage. --- I have nothing else to say <cite>RchHomieQuanChi posted [p:934835727] in Goddamn mi...

The people that advocate for minimum wage increases that only have minimal skill required are advocating for their own unemployment and for price increases on the goods and services that employers provide, the latter renders the wage hike they might have received entirely redundant as what they are buying also increased in price alongside their wage increase.. An employer has to dish out $600 a week for just one full-time worker with minimal skill if a mandatory minimum of $15 per hour is adopted. They have to make up for the costs of these price increases, and this isnt including the utility bills and every other thing that other businesses are charging them in increased prices due to the wage hike.

RchHomieQuanChi 02/24/20 10:56:22 PM #73:	Except you are ignoring one crucial thing, and this is very simple economics: if people are making more money, they are willing to spend more money. If someone is only making $7.25 per hour at their job and only barely staying afloat, they are not going to spend money at your business unless they absolutely need your services and can't get it anywhere else for cheaper. The thing is, large companies like Wal-Mart or Amazon can afford to bring their prices down to a price that lower-wage workers can afford to pay, but smaller businesses, with tighter margins, can't. --- I have nothing else to say <cite>RchHomieQuanChi posted [p:934836563] in Goddamn mi...

And here's a good thought experiment for advocates of minimum wage hikes... Why not make the minimum wage $100/hour? Those workers will go out and spend all of that extra money and somehow they'll be able to consume more goods despite not producing more goods. --- RIP Butters_1188 2005-2009 Prove me wrong <cite>Mike_Stanton posted [p:934842864] in Goddamn mi...

I'm more for finding ways to cut down on costs than it is to keep driving things up.
