Yeah they're happy that the money is flowing in.

Lol, the DOW is an important economic indicator, sorry, that one is just too funny.

Simple answer, as so many do, you're confusing the value of skill with cost of living. The functions are orthogonal.

Just because somebody doesn't make enough to feed themselves, doesn't necessarily mean the skills or abilities they possess are of any value.

Politicians understand this, but it makes for good diversion from having to provide effort to generate real solutions for the under skilled under educated.

On the other hand, you're certainly free to donate all you want to anybody you chose.

I assume you expect the government to quantify the value of skill sets in terms of dollars ... have you thought about how that would go?

For example is the skill of a coffee barista as valuable as a tig welder? You realize that you have to come up with a pretty exhaustive list to be useful.

i bet you'll complain when people who work 40 hour weeks stand in line for food stamps or heating assistance though.

No actually, they don't and if they do they're wrong, simple as that.

It's a pretty reliable sign Wall Street is having coke and hooker parties on the money the Fed keeps printing tho.

But shit, what would I know, right? :p

maybe focus on getting some thick soled shoes and stop spamming us with your metal bug malarkey, short stuff.
 
A minimum wage of $15 per hour would render a BigMac unaffordable by a large majority of the people who currently eat that shit. A year later, McDonalds' restaurants start closing all over. Due to individual franchise owners going bankrupt.

Then all those people lose their McJobs. They return to school, get a good education, and DON'T end up on welfare. Instead, they move up to the middle class and pay TAXES.

Sounds great.

shit, murdoch.

australia pays a min wage higher than $15 an hour, they pay $16.87 an hour.

a big mac there costs the same there as it does here.

actually, the random capitalization reads more like a wilksey sock puppet, or even greenlikemoney.

you unwelcome, unwanted, retarded losers always keep me guessing with your constant sock puppets. really keeps me on my toes.
 
Yeah, because 7 bucks an hour will put you through school. Sad part is a large percentage of our minimum wage workers are educated, arent on welfare, and cant afford to pay their student loans.

Why the fuck would I give a shit ... just don't let those fucking lines plug up the damn roads I'm on and they can stand any where they want.

yeah, it's not like it matters to the 50% of americans who are invested in it. they are totally cool when their retirements get wiped in half.

Another example of your problem with logic ... it's called investing .... it's not a guaranteed pension.

In Australia, the food service industry is completely unionized. I know, because several guys I work with travel there regularly.

Want to eat a meal? Fine. Make a reservation. Walk into a restaurant without one? They look at you like you're crazy.

Want them to refill your drink? It's not in their job description. You'd have better luck asking for a blow job. If you want another drink, then buy another meal.

You have no idea about what you're saying.

Ugh, you claimed to have had a logic class along with your math studies ... put it to use.

You aren't making any sense ... put together some cohesive thought. We're having a discussion about minimum wage ... if you don't want to discuss that get out of this thread.

I'm not going to crawl into your "shit" pile of nonsense.
