I'm still one that believes that when America make a product, it makes the best. China makes cheap shit and you get what you pay for

You are correct in one regard, the USA leads the world in imprisoning people.

If no one takes me seriously, why are you having a meltdown?

Meltdown?
Lol.
Pointing out how dumb you are is a menial yet enjoyable task.
You're the dumbass who thinks companies barely keeping their head above water can absorb a 100% increase in labour costs.

With the extra costs come vastly increased aggregate demand across the markets. This simple point is really going over your head...
Wonder why...

Bob owns Bob's Bakery. Bob has 4 employees, which he pays each of them $9.00 an hour. Bob's Bakery sells bagels, bread and these cute little muffins. His business is doing well, selling 300 bagels a day, on average, at $1.50 a bagel, sells 50 loaves of bread at $3.25 a loaf, and sells nearly 400 muffins a day at $1.50 a muffin.
If Bob raised each of his employee's salary to $18.00 an hour, and all 4 worked every day, for 8 hours a day, his salary expense each day would increase by $288.
Bob would then need to increase the price of his products by roughly 33% each without increasing sales to make up that salary expense.
So bagels now sell for $1.99, bread for $3.79 and muffins for $1.89. At these prices, Bob can pay his employees a living wage and actually realize a better profit without creating sticker shock pricing.
Obviously this example does not work for every business, then again not every business should be, in business.

Jack started working at his job making $9.00/hr. After 3 years of diligent work he has gotten himself several raises and increased his pay to $15.00/hr. Minimum wage is suddenly increased to $15.00/hr. Business is good so Jacks boss hires a new employee at minimum wage. Poor jack.

min wage increases put upward pressure on wages.Jack started working at his job making $9.00/hr. After 3 years of diligent work he has gotten himself several raises and increased his pay to $15.00/hr. Minimum wage is suddenly increased to $15.00/hr. Business is good so Jacks boss hires a new employee at minimum wage. Poor jack.
and jack only got to $12 an hour after 3 years of diligent work, so he just got a raise.
then you snitched on someone and still sucked prison dick anyway.
then had a meltdown over going from RIU's most respected member to being hated by everyone.

Fuck no I haven't inherited a fucking thing. Thats your friend bucky that believes in fairy tales that likes to make up stories about people that he doesn't know at all, and some how thinks he knows something that he doesn't know at all. But I think you know that, and if you need to know my parents are alive and well, so some day I will inherit something, but who the fuck knows? bucky sure as the fuck don't know, and that is for dam sure.
We are on the same page about bringing jobs home. I was against NAFTA from the beginning and I am afraid the damage has been done and it will take decades to bring those jobs back to where it will help people that need it. imo
I have been doing my part of buying american made trucks, cars, equipment and I will continue to support americans when I can . Anyway I appreciate your thoughts that have stayed on topic, and I hope it continues.

Sky, Blood sweat and tears and hard work is how I have been able to buy and improve my boat and business. Nobody else in my family even goes to sea, or has anything to do with the fishing business so you can jump on Buckys band wagon or you can chose to believe what the truth is and the truth is I have never inherited a dollar because nobody has died that would make an inheritance possible. Now my kids will inherit a boat some day and unless they have kids that will be the end of the blood line.
