:facepalm Why, why, why!!!! It used to be most minimum wage jobs were "transition" type jobs done while out of school for the summer or for pocket money while in college. Flipping burgers at a fast food restaurant was never intended to be a career and support a family. I swear this country is getting so fucked up with peoples' self entitlements. Get an education, get rid of the excuses and go fuck yourselves! :blowup

More people will be out of work because small business will not be able to support it so enjoy the fact that you could make $15 an hour if there were jobs available! :biglol

Most minimum wage workers are so lazy and incompetent they don't even deserve $5/hr. There's a reason you fux are being replaced by machines. This will only accelerate the process.

Enjoy the unemployment line, losers! :wave2

Enjoy your $20 big macs New Yorkers.

Food stamps won't go nearly as far now. :sigh Gonna have to raise taxes again! :chewy

Well shouldn't you be upset since your party is the one in power doing this? If it's true. And the reason they send those jobs over seas? Taxes and shit like theminim wage. Do you think they would send jobs abroad if it was cheaper to do it here?

Fucking :roasted

Raising minimum wage is so retarded. All it does is inflate the prices to go up.

Yes. It instantly creates hyper inflation. And the only people it hurts are the ones in the middle that used to make more than minimum wage. Attack on the middle class. If increasing the amount of people that make minimum wage sounds like a good idea to you then you are dumb as fuck

It actually hurts those it's trying to help the most. The poor, the young, and minorities find themselves unemployed (or, if they're lucky, working twice as hard) AND the price of everything goes up.

Of course, when the inevitable happens, they just blame "corporate greed". How dare they repond to legislation! How dare there be unintended consequences! Rabble rabble rabble! :blowup

Yes yes that is true because they go from having jobs to not having jobs. But if it were to work and they wouldn't lose their jobs it would hurt those in the middle more while not helping those making minimum wage at all. Forgot that real life isn't a vacuum where shit like this doesn't create unintended consequences :dog

Machines are replacing people all the way up the economic ladder.

Went to the Orpheum downtown last night to watch Friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street and got to the ticket box... It was automated and took for fucking ever. Miss there being a person there :sigh

:word

:sadyes

Skilled (see: NOT minimum wage) workers must build and maintain those machines. Keep raising the minimum wage, and there will be even less opportunity for the unskilled useful idiots demanding minimum wage increases. Careful what you wish for mindless followers. Your leaders will get what they want, and you, well...

Im actually taking an online coarse to learn how to program these machines. They going to hate me. :lol:

Sounds rough...

Probably not as rough as cleaning mop sinks. :lolthumb

If I couldn't spell, I'd probably have some idea what you were talking about.
