When 100% of the the working population is able to do this job they don't need to pay highly, because they're easily replaceable.
This is why professional football players get paid so much, they are the best at what they do.

Minimum wage is perfectly acceptable for jobs that require no training and I'll tell you why: supply and demand.

Theoretically, anyone could do a minimum wage job, while trades and post-secondary jobs draw from a limited pool of potential employees. Companies HAVE to pay them more or someone else will offer them a higher rate and they'll go work there instead.

The entire concept of minimum wage means you're being paid more than your employer think your work is worth, so be thankful for that.

This is the problem here. I "deserve" this or I "deserve" that.

You don't deserve anything. You get what you earn. The decision to start a family is a very big one, and also a very big financial decision.

Raising an average child to 18 years old costs about $250,000. If you work at MacDonalds you would be fucking stupid to buy a 250k boat or a 250k car. Does a burger-flipper "deserve" a Lamborghini? Why do they "deserve" to make a different choice with a similar price tag?

They already have that right, and if they have the skills that are worth $15 an hour, they should be out selling themselves for that. To sit in a dead end low skill job and expect to be paid a fair wage is absurd...Just ask Seattle. If I read correctly, their jumped up min wage is causing havoc.

There is no point in time when a burger flipper or any another non-management staff should be making middle class wages. The reason for low skill jobs is for low skill workers. It doesn't matter how long you have done the same low skill job or how good you think you are at it....you are 1 step away from being replaced at all times.

If you have been given a raise ever, you should be scared for your job.

I got a better idea. Instead of trying to convince me that you are worth $15/hour, go out and get a job that actually pays $15/hr....but no suprise to me, the workers in fast food seem to think they are working some important job that no one else can do....meanwhile high school students who should be working these jobs cannot even learn simple skills because it pays too well.

If these fast food places had any brains, they wouldn't keep a single full time employee on the books EVER. They want a pay raise, great. They want to use the government to forcefully coerce these business to either pay better or shut down. I would be full on vindictive.....12-18 hours a week/employee. No more. If they couldn't live working full time at half that, they certainly won't be doing better getting paid twice as much but at 1/3rd the hours.

At no point in time should the government dictate "MINIMUM" wage. Minimum wage is a joke used by unskilled people as a guarantee of pay. When you bump up minimum wage you create an economic situation that affects everyone. IF the minimum wage was bumped to $15 on a federal level, it would affect EVERY working class american negatively..

People in entry level, low skill jobs, like fast food make so little an hour because you aren't expected to really make a living. The job is merely a stepping stone to either live with other people and split costs or use your work experience and education to get a better paying job. If you are irresponsible enough to only be qualified for a mcdonalds tier position while trying to "support a family" your overall value to the country is only worth the bullet that should be shot into your skull. Even though I know this is an obvious bait thread I'm convinced at least 20% of /pol/ actually doesn't understand simple ideas like the quality of work reflecting average wages
>>
>>132322850
Its a low skill job which generally appeals to workers who need flexibility and a bit of cash - if you need to rely on your job at mcdonalds for your long term financial future then you should reevaluate your situation, or be aiming to work your way up as fast as you can - which if you cant, mcdonalds is obviously not for you as it does not meet your needs.

tl;dr if you dont like it, lump it

>>132322850
I worked at mcdonalds last year, no they dont. Those 'hard workers" only have it rough when costumers get pissed.

You don't get paid that much in the military, and it's far more demanding, than flipping burgers. That, and every single time there's been a minimum wage hike, the cost of living has gone up.

Because money doesn't mean shit if it doesn't stand for some product, and thus if you have more money, representing the same amount of "stuff", no one got richer. The money just became less valuable.

While non-corporation businesses would have problems, and would likely receive tax breaks etc, you'd be foolish to think that a corporation couldn't pay this.

Stop believing what every hardline capitalist thumper peddles. Major businesses in American can easily pay the $15/h wage, but they will say they won't, because it will take from the wages and bonuses of the higher ups.

This isn't an economic issue for you, it's a form of class/racial warfare. At least you're conscious enough to realize it, unlike most people against raising the minimum wage.

Right now this may benefit racial minorities more so than whites but this will not always be the case. As automation picks up EVERYONE will be begging for some sort of guaranteed income, and that is only a matter of time. Having decent paying minimum wage jobs is much more realistic aim than saying we need universal basic income.

In a perfect world, the idea of capitalism supports this. Businesses will pay workers what they deserve, still remain profitable, and everyone is happy.

I'm a libertarian, and I argue for as little government involvement as possible.

Was waiting for this.

I don't think the majority of people realize how many 'skilled' professions make below a liveable wage in the first place.

While the argument for $15/h has been distorted towards both political ideologies, the initial idea behind it is to provide an increase to a vast number of jobs that would improve the lives of millions.

I know an astounding number of people who make far below $15 an hour, yet post memes and shitposts on facebook arguing against a wage increase. It's amazing what political spin can do.

The stupid nigger and spics should be doing real hard jobs for $15 a hour .

Worked in restaurants throughout some of high school and college, is by far some of the most piss easy work out there. Half the employees show up hung over or high. Lots of flirting and sex with co-workers. Lunch and dinner rushes could get busy, but I'd hardly call it stressful. etc

They deserve exactly what their labor is worth and can command in a free market. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm not saying that a minimum wage is bad and should be removed.

I'm saying that upping the minimum wage will do pretty much nothing for the economy in relation to making the quality of life better for workers.

Lowering the minimum wage will do nothing for the economy in relation to making the quality of life better for workers.

Because I am in American, living in Alabama.

And Minimum Wage was certainly created to be a living wage, as stated by the president who signed it into law.


Just because (you) have a great experience going to college with a prospect of a good career, doesn't mean other people going to college have the same prospect.

I'm a chef, certified and trained, and for me to get over $15 an hour took a fuck ton of money compared to the decade of experience and work I had.

Then those people will be making much less relative to the min wage workers after they all get raises. Also the whole idea that the raises will continuously rise until it reaches upper management, or higher is preposterous. No CEO is going to let any of that happen. They will just cut hours and be much more competitive in hiring.
In the end, nothing really changes and it is a massive waste of time that leaves everyone who was making 10-20 an hour before at a disadvantage.
>>
>>132327453
So EMTs, Firefighters, members of the police and military, along with the gambit of corporate workers, don't deserve $15/h?

Again, the argument really has never been a wage increase for just burger flippers and starbucks employees. It's for everyone, including the people who definitely deserve that wage.

The reason the argument for $15/h exists is because American capitalism isn't setup to pay fare wages. It's setup to bring in the most profit.

I'm only saying that corporations would be less likely to eliminate low-skill jobs and hire more expensive, less fungible labor than to simply roll with the new minimum wage, adjust their costs and prices, and keep making idle threats of automation to keep the worst of the labor actions at bay. Or, they would shift to markets that still have some discretionary income to hoover up.

Having worked in the fast food industry, I understand what you mean. The workers tend to be treated like shit by corporate, then down to a manager level, and then by ungrateful customers. So I sympathize and I would agree they are underappreciated.

But with that said there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind. One, there are other fast food chains that offer better benefits and higher wages even towards the lowest jobs. Second, a job like McDonald's should not be a dedicated career path someone takes unless you are planning on fulfilling a full time hiring manager position (the ones that make over the wage you're asking for). Working as a cook, cashier, and in drive through are some of the most mentally taxing jobs that exist that most kids work for pocket change or to have some type of employment between searching for better jobs. Why encourage someone to occupy some meager position long term when it's economically unsound and inhumane in the first place?

One kiosk might cost around 1000 bucks and operating it the whole year is like 100 bucks with electricity ja average maintanance.

It works 24/7, in this case 16 hours aka two shifts. Indian themselvelves take 0.5 cents per hour. Their cost for a year is 3000 bucks.

So yes, pajeets do get outcompeted, also with kiosks transactions are much faster and its easier to have multiple lines open

Government workers on paid by tax... so if there is a problem paying these workers it's at the level of the state and tax. This is a socialist mechanism, it's required for stabilization of society.

McDonald's is not on a tax funded tab. They rely on people buying their products.

Again, upping the minimum wage will do nothing to help the quality of life.

If the minimum wage was set to $20 per hour tomorrow... the cost of living would follow through.

I know if I had a retail store I'd mark up everything people wanted.

Enjoy paying $45 for a 10 pack of socks.

Low-end POS registers themselves cost a grand apiece, without such things as cash drawers. Add in all that ruggedizing, payment acceptance/processing, and UI/UX design, and you're looking to double or triple that, if not more. Don't forget to factor in all the lost clientele such as old people or the vision-impaired, who will slow your line down at the very least.

They do,all you have to do to make it happen is to kick out all non-white Americans(except Native americans obviously), repeal all the bullshit laws that 'allow' women into the workplace (by using diversity quotas and government incentives to let in women the company otherwise wouldn't hire), end all government subsidies for both corporations and welfare queens, end free trade and watch purchasing power skyrocket.

Ofcourse that wouldn't be ideal for (((democratic capitalism))) so it'll never happen. Don't worry OP, in no time the minimum wage will be $20 an hour, and you'll be wondering why it isn't higher because people earning $20 an hour can't afford their $2,000,000 1 bedroom houses.

I worked at an electronics store once and it was pretty stressful compared to manufacturing/assembly.

I had to train myself in basic info on domestic-grade peripherals, competing standard operating systems on affixed and mobile terminals, differentiating the compatibility of digital and analog media interfaces and having the explain all of the former to clueless customers who come in, buy a DVI cable, and come back the next day complaining about the busted pins after they tried jamming into a VGA monitor.

Had four bosses, all of which hated the fact that the "grunts" had to be shared, and constantly sneaked around the store to steal you away from your task to do their dirty work as the store was separated into departments and it was set up in some weird ass micro-capitalist complementary product competition system that pits management against themselves.

Working a palette jack, operating rusty 20-year-old elevators, manually managing printers, tvs, and all-in-ones, installing shelving, trying not to kill your co-workers with poorly-stacked equipment remnant from employees long since fired/etc, ALL THE WHILE wearing a mandatory button shirt, long tie, and dress shoes.

Top it off with processing purchases at a register with a point-of-sale system coded in the mid-90's so that each transaction is silky smooth.

I made 8 bucks an hour full-time with no benefits and I'm surprised that I let myself fester there for 8 months.

I see your entire disjointed sentence makes no sense. But let me make an example out of HVAC, because my dad worked it longer than I've been alive. You can get a great paying job working in HVAC but the company my dad managed before he retired went out of business because they couldn't hire anybody to replace him. They couldn't pay enough for somebody who wanted to do the work, because it isn't easy. With this kind of perception of how people are it's obvious to me that people simply want to get by on the easiest work available and don't want to pull weight to go any further.

It's a bad idea to have an economy running on people working at Walmart and nobody else being able to compete.

I ran away at 16 and have been making it on my own doing any job I needed to since. With no experience or skills I have been homeless an entirety of 2 days in my life.
>That is literally the entire gripe about this whole thing. boomers, specifically the men, are jealous.
Nobody is jealous here except the ones who want a federally enforced wage that drives small businesses out of the market so multi-billion dollar corporations will pay out a couple more shekels an hour for a larger share of the market.

literally a massive chunk of the work force is a bunch of lazy cowards who can't ask for a raise bc their boss would die laughing on the spot, dudes haven't swung a hammer in 10 years, and would literally get embarassed by your average 12 year old mexican girl in a manual labor job.

another thing anti min wage people do not clue into

if our society becomes an amazing society, or a white ethnostate like many of you fantasize about.......everybody educated....everybody capable........their WILL NOT be enough jobs that are high paying for everybody. And are you going to tell somebody they can't have a family? A capable educated person? No...that's terrible, especially in the state of our countries, we need more babies........so if the entire country is capable and deserving of family, and good paying jobs, because they are educated, work hard and reliable, then you will HAVE to make "low income" jobs livable, or else you will ave a bunch of well educated capable people........making 10 dollars an hour....so inevitably...in a perfect country you would have to raise the min wage, or deny people the right to a life of happyness and freedom, and that souldn't be an option. so the only option would be giving tem a living wage for teir work......and you can't use the "well you flip burgers" excuse. In a perfect world you will have einstein unable to get a job doing science, and he will HAVE to flip burgers, and he will deserve a good wage.

My heart goes out to the working poor, as I am one myself. But most of us are trying to improve our lot in life. We either get qualifications or we try to climb the corporate ladder by showing the right skills and attitude. What the people who protest for a higher minimum wage want is to go through life and expend no effort above the minimum. They want to live is unskilled workers all their lives and that is just not feasible.

>>132330922
In a white ethnostate socialized services would make sense. As it stands all welfare services go into paying blacks to raise black families that will continue to not contribute and also leech off welfare. In a white ethnostate working at a burger joint would be a low paying job for teenagers again, rather than niggers looking to work it into retirement.

you blew out your point with the last sentence. If big companies can pay people a better wage, ten there is no need for a small business.

And the small business owner can go work there.........since he's superworker apparently it should be a cake walk.

Well then there's no need for a "free-market" altogether. Why don't we just instate a king to run a centralized economy and we'll name it "totally not communism for kids." Having a diverse market of small-businesses keeps innovation and prices competitive. People don't have to take the lower wage job if they don't want, but some will because its likely that, like working at McDonalds as compared to PF Chang's(where you'd get pay more), it would entail less responsibility. I didn't contradict myself at all, you're just dumb.

It's inevitable that people will need a livable wage to raise a family and be happy, especially in this perfect 20 thousand year reich fantasy nation a lot of you want to create.

$15 an hour is dumb because business is not charity.

mfw acting like a number means anything in relation to fiat currency.

Pay the bitches $15/hr it ripples up and a bloke who was on $30/hr is now on $60/hr. Rent doubles, and a coke costs a tenner.

Whole argument is a slide. If you want to fundamentally change the disproportionate distribution of wealth, either elimiate fiat and fractional reserve lending, or start talking percentages.

The only feasible way to do it is ensure shareholder rights to employees. Aussies get 9.5 percent of thier wage as superannuation.
Set another percentage towards company shareholding. This gives them more of a voice than a union ever could, and softens the blow when redundancy comes around.
>>
>>132322850
Because you shouldn't be entitled to have all your expenses paid for doing ANY kind of job. In any reasonable economy the employee gets paid for the value they provide.

Also the argument that it should be done because of companies like Walmart making billions in profit a year is retarded. Next time you drive anywhere just look around you, you will notice hundreds of small businesses that only get a few customers a day if at all, yet they will have to pay their employees $15 for sitting around doing nothing while doubling the income of low wage workers will not guarantee the small businesses get any more customers.

You cannot expect that everything is given to you for the mere fact that you're working. Tough luck but there's not an infinite supply of resources to hand out. And no, communism won't solve shit.

the entire argument doesn't add up

the "work load" "skill level" argument people make doesn't work, because there are high paying jobs where you sit around answering phones..and that requires no skill...at all...a 10 year old could do that. Computer work? Average kid can work circles around an old man on a computer, i'v seen it. So that argument is garbage, the "it will make bread 2 million dollars a loaf" argument is garbage.

You're wrong though. It's the multi-billion dollar corporations that are all peddling cheap chinese trash like Walmart does. People avoid the smaller businesses because they end up being a little more expensive because by and large they are selling more expensive products made in America.

I make enough money that I don't need anybody to dictate my wage. I for the most part dictate it myself. As I said when I was 16 I was making it on my own, I ran an IT service and lived in a penthouse condo right off Hollywood Beach on what I earned. I was blowing you min-wage niggers out of the water over a decade ago, and still do now.

I'm just informing you how your economic worldview is flawed, as many others have addressed it throughout this thread. Raising the minimum wage doesn't address the root issue and conflates the problem with the destruction of small businesses. In your stupid fantasy nobody could be an entrepeneur because no-one would be able to compete.
>>
raising the minimum wage is just another way the (((rich))) pass on social costs to the middle class.

Your coke is now $10 but walmart will see no loss in revenue.

Lifting min wage also allows the infinite growth meme to continue through it's inflation effect, so the stock market continues to rise on record earnings, and realestate afordability continues to diminish.

Earn a piece of the pie or make the numbers mean something.

>>132332281
If we're talking about food-service then pretty much any real restaurant. I gave PF Chang's as an example because its far harder, they will pay around 11/hr just for dish washers because it entails more responsibility than any McDonalds job you could get.

At McDonalds, preparation of onions entails dropping a bag of dirt into some water and lifting out rehydrated onion trash.

At PF Changs you have to fresh order produce each and every day(they don't even use freezers) and the people then hand slice every vegetable they'd be selling that day. Nothing gets carried over to the next day. Everything is fresh. Just about any food service job is harder than fast food, and as one would expect they all pay better.

cool jap man so you've set the stage up quite well

so your wage sould be determined by how skilled somebody else FEELS your job is, interesting.

So 80 percent of the police force can be dropped to 12 an hour, why not? Just sitting and typing, literally.........a monkey can do that. Hospital staff too, sitting and typing, taking notes, filling out documents....grade 8 level child should be able to handle that, thhey should make less tan 15 then. A plumber.......i mean....twisted a wrench lol, banged a ffew pipes together, i was able to do that when i was about 10-12, it's not skilled labour at all, should be less than 15.

So many i can think to add to the list, since were just deciding peoples jobs are unskilled. Meter readers, around hehre they make about 60 an hour, reading meters, a teenager could handle that it's 2017, they do more complicated shit on instagram every morning, reader meter should be under 15

First of all they don't always compete in the same area. Walmart doesn't install HVAC for example. Home depot does but through local contractors.

Also how does the logic follow that because the big corps can pay more there is no need for small business? Big corps can pay more and have high profit margins because many have virtual monopolies in their fields due mostly to government regulations. Buying from a big corp doesn't mean the consumer is getting the best price or the best product either. They can afford to pay more because they have no competitors. Raising the minimum wage only INCREASES the big corps monopolies.

To be fair, policies that allowed corporations to become monopolies while restricting workers rights, unions, and wage increases have been a bit more damaging.

I've worked fast food and they absolutely do not deserve anything above minimum wage starting off.

The place I worked at ran a tight ship too. They worked us on a skeleton crew to maximize profit which meant a lot more work for us and we weren't allowed to socialize at all. We had to be working the entire time we were there.

I do think that the minimum wage could be increased to $10 per hour but $15 is entirely too much. $15 per hour is quite a good wage in some small towns where the cost of living is low so it would end up ruining the economy if it was implemented on a national scale.

No I was a 17 year old kid and I saved up every dime I made and bought a car in 6 months and got a better job just as anyone with any self respect should do. It's just very obvious to me as a successful 30 year old man now that I was being paid exactly what I was worth because at that time I wasn't worth much of anything. I had no skills and no experience and the job was piss easy.

If you're a grown man still working at fast food then you're a failure at life and you don't deserve to make good money unless you manage or own the place.

Worked at McDonalds for two weeks, quit on the last day of my trial period because a co-worker infected me with a stomach virus, still wonder how much it was spread as I also worked 3 days while being sick.

I applied and got the cashier job right away, manager told me she wasn't so lucky and started off in the kitchen. After 2-3 days you get the hang out of it, obviously I made mistakes, sometimes you have so much to think ahead you forget a coke or the sour cream (and fucking people bought extra sour cream like its liquid gold)
Worst were the nigger costumers, that look down on you as if "finally you are my slave".

At first I felt worried when a burger or apple pie fell on the ground in the kitchen and the guys still gave it out but after some time you start to go with it because most costumers want their food fast and get impatient.

One thing is sure, I will never work or eat at any fast food joint again. Is 15 bucks an hour acceptable? No, this job needs no learning, needs no education, you can jump right in. This job shouldn't be rewarding.
>>
>>132334825
>IF they can pay people more what is the big deal?
Because there are two sides to the transaction, the buyer and the seller. How does the seller paying people more help the buyer, especially in areas where big corps hold a monopoly? Do you not think the price will go up if wages are increased? Of course they will as investors demand a certain level of return else they invest with another company. Walmart isn't going to just eat the loss of higher wages, it will be passed onto the consumer in some way, shape or form.

Also the minimum wage is relative in the first place, raise it and while there will be a year or two of more spending power for the poor it won't be long before the salary increases hit all the sales prices and we are back at square one.
>>132334825
>We need money in peoples pockets so they can have breathing room to figure out a path to having a family.
This is almost entirely a supply and demand issue although robotics will change this in the future. Cut off shitskin immigration and deport illegals and instead of competing for jobs employers are competing for employees. The reason they can staff a mcjob @ $7/hr is because there are too many people who can do the job. If there were less low skilled people the companies would be forced to pay more to entice people to come work for them. Of course this will cause prices to go up as well just like if you mandated higher wages but the labor market would be more balanced. Less workers available = higher wages per worker. More workers + mandated higher wage = more people on unemployment and more people priced out of a job.

The question is what do you do with a person who can't produce $15/hr + payroll taxes of worth for the owner. Should the government force the owner to lose money on the employee? Or should the taxpayers pay their unemployment checks? There are people TODAY who are already priced out of the market who can't get a foothold to gain valuable skills.

I've met plenty of skilled, talented, and ambitious workers who have virtually been forced to keep a certain minimum wage job due to wide range of factors.

I'm a fucking chef, but even with ten years of experience of training under chefs, no one would hire me as a chef, or at pay deserving of my experience and accomplishments, until I payed a rather large amount of money to go to classes to be yelled at by a 23 year old who probably still gets payed more than me, because his parents could afford to send him to culinary school straight out of high school. Instead of someone like me who's had to have a full time job since the day I turned 16 just to be able to eat food everyday, and spent over a decade working six day workweeks, and literally spans of years of living paycheck to paycheck, just to start making over $15/hour.

While parts of the system run well, there are a lot of the parts of the system that everyone forgets exists, and everyone forgets the sheer amount of work, sacrifice, and pain that some have to go through to be able to make a liveable wage in their chosen profession.

>just get a different profession

If it hasn't already become obvious, you'll one day find out that the majority of people really are only good at one thing. A driver with the natural feel of the road could also never be able to understand the mechanics of a car. A person might not be great enough at anything besides being an EMT, and they won't make a decent wage until they pay for classes after already being certified as an EMT. And those classes cover a lot of the things they covered and learned on the job.

$15/hour is the ideal wage increase, based on the actual data taking into account population, workforce, increase in profits, increase in wages, and even inflation. But it isn't the realistic goal. Others have said it, but $10 would be the one to go with.

While we disagree on the last part, the rest of it was golden.

People seem to forget or ignore how much shit a worker in a place like McDonalds has to deal with from customers alone. Homeless, people who don't speak English (Not just spanish, but a fuck ton from the world who recognize mcdonalds in the US), ratchets, extremely religious people, little kids, old people, ratchet old people, mentally insane, criminally insane. The literal shit you will eventually have to clean up, because I haven't talked to one person who worked at McDonalds for a decent stretch of time who hasn't.

Fuck off. Anyone who works there past the age of 25 should consider suicide anyways.

Fast food work is for teenagers and literal retards. If you can't work your way up and out of the lowest skill job available, why should you be rewarded?
Only idiots think fast food work should be enough to support a family.

Id love to have that where I live. Being a neet myself, I hate when I see people working for me.
Id go out eating more often.

have you thought about moving? What region are you in? I have moved 15 times in 20 years chasing higher wages/responsibility before I waifu'd up and I'm now in the 1%. Had I stayed in my hometown/state I would be barely scraping by.

>>132337269
>just to start making over $15/hour.
Not to be rude but didn't you look at the wages before you decided to go into that field? It's not as if chef wages suddenly plummeted. I mean fuck, I made $20/hr at the Olive Garden as a server 18 years ago and I wasn't working in the hot steamy kitchen. My guess is that it is one of the few jobs in your area that was available to you.

Forget about classes, how much time are YOU investing in YOURSELF? Are you spending your spare time fapping or getting your hands on and reading every culinary book out there? How many hours per week do you spend on youtube doing research improving your culinary skills? Or are you spending your time on pornhub? Your biggest issue is prob location though.

You probably think you're too old for this but find a mentor. I'm not suggesting that you need mentoring (although it never hurts) the point is they are the mavens who will connect you with a better job. The only issue I see is chefs work ridiculous shifts and have little time for a social life outside of their immediate co-workers.

You shouldn't be having kids on a minimum wage job, that being said 40 hours a week at minimum wage should still support yourself.
>>
A 16 yr old doesn't need to support themselves. If you're still working a min pay job at 17 there is something seriously wrong with you.

Where the fuck do these people live where the best job they can get is some fast food shit? Even people with just GEDs can get hired into a warehouse, learn to operate equipment and then pursue other jobs that pay higher. I operate a sit down forklift and those jobs can hit up to around 25$ an hour if you get into somewhere good which typically only requires 5 years of experience or so. Only place a fast food bitch is going to lead is a manager of a fast food dump and that'll still get you shit wages.

HOW The fuck is it demeaning?
Do they honestly think they're above bottom-feeder work, when they're clearly bottom-feeders?
>>
>>132322850
They deserve $15 an hour (5 dollar increase in CA at least) but every other worker should get a wage increase too. Meaning if you're currently working a job that pays $20/hr, you should get $25/hr.

The problem here is this: Will the prices go up along with the wages?

If it does, then it will basically continue the trend of the income/wage gap. It also will continue the trend where wages will flatline as prices of goods increase via supply and demand.

Do a tiny bit of economic research or watch some documentaries and you will see how bad our economy actually is.

>Lol says the poor fag
Let us be real here, we're all actually a poorfag. The top 1% owns more than half of this nation's wealth.

automation will come regardless since its a lot cheaper then an employee

Live in CA here

Work retail

New min wage increase just took effect, quick TLDR

>all part time and menial employees get min wage increase
>everyone above min wage wont see increase in the next year
>corporate interested in trying to float manager only stores
>the starting pay for a MT is now about 50 cents more what min wage used to be

So let me ask, why take on part time retards and kids. When you can discriminate and pick people who need the money, or cant afford to shop for a job.

New studies from Washington State are indicating that impoverished workers are actually making less money since the minimum wage increase. And this is entirely predictable if you know anything about a business.

Sure, McDonalds and Walmart can afford to pay a huge wage increase, but most businesses aren't McDonalds or Walmart. Most businesses that employ minimum wage workers were already paying more for labor than any other cost of doing business before the wage hike. A huge increase to minimum wage just means that lots of companies will either find a way to get around paying more for labor, or go out of business.

Is $15 an hour reasonable for a minimum wage job? It varies. Some minimum wage employees are genuinely underpaid. The fry cook at McDonalds is not underpaid. That is an easy job. The only people working those jobs should be 16 year old high school students learning what working is like.

The real problem is, and always has been, the high cost of living in metro areas. While all the idiots are clamoring over wages, the people who own real estate in large cities are making obscene amounts of money hand-over-fist.

>McDonalds and Walmart can afford to pay a huge wage increase

No, they fucking can't. Their margins are tiny. The business model is entirely based on volume of sales. That's why Walmart will dump a US product if a chink product is a penny cheaper.

45 year old Manuel the burger cook and his entire family who are stealing jobs from an actual citizen shouldnt make anywhere near $15/hour. That's like a weeks pay in Mexico.

Higher low wages means higher taxes, higher cost of living, and higher rent. Not to mention less jobs. Start low get a simple education and find a good paying job. Then you're way above the bar.

Hahahahahahahahahahahshahs
Fast food isnt hard work. The only consequence of a bad job done is an angry customer that probably spebt under $8.
Youre not trusted to assemble aircrafts, build houses, or even do paperwork for businesses, because you have no skills.

Why not 50/hr for your minimum wafe? Id actually be for that legislation just to bring automation into everything.

The only effect it's having is from people who look at low birthrates and think shipping in a shitload of migrants solves anything, BLIND to the fact that markets adjust to populations, you dumdum.

Hiring manger here. The vast majority of affirmative action hires are college educated white women. Not blacks.

I can deal with blacks stealing but white women can and will make work a living hell.

Why do they work for less?

If they sign a contract with less than 15 $ then it's their fault. Nobody is forcing them to work there.
