Thanks To 'Fight For $15' Minimum Wage, McDonald's Unveils Job-Replacing Self-Service Kiosks

True, but it is inflated money, it won't increase their standard of living.
How will it not? If an extra 200 a week provides more food/gas/ toys for kids/educational opportunities for said kids/ medical bills since the state doesn't provide that, how does that not increase their standard of living?

It will temporarily, but by increasing it you're devaluing it because there's more money to purchase from the same supply pool.
Minimum wage should be pegged to inflation rather than using it as a campaign device with an arbitrarily high $$$ value attached.
Very simple. Inflation will eat up that 200 a week. Gas, food , toys will all increase in price. I've seen this over and over during the past 45 years.

So that lends credibility to the fact that more poor/working class people supported Trump than Clinton

Yes more typical Republican voters.
Trump told struggling people exactly what they wanted to hear despite him literally being part of the problem.

WHERE do they spend it? At other businesses- and their demand drives growth.

Electric self driving shuttle buses are running downtown in my city now, with plenty more low hanging fruit. My guess, in 3 yrs.15 or so % of muni. transp. workers will be gone round here. Not to worry tho. With the Mexicans pushed out, our citizens will, no doubt, flock to fill those commercial chicken coop cleaning positions for minimum. That was proven the case in Ala. and Ga. recently. Wasn't it?

as long as you discount the 94% of black women who voted for hillary as not poor, or not "working class".
ditto the 90% of black men who voted for hillary.
and all the other "working class" people who are not living in the crumbling, poor, uneducated, 98% white counties in the "rust belt".
those who are truly poor and working class voted for hillary. let's make words mean something in this debate.

Inflation is artificially controlled by the government, unless it goes crazy....
In the Carter years the inflation rate was 20%. I bet everyone would be lining up for a minimum wage job then.... Shitty economy and go from 15 bucks an hour to 18 bucks an hour regulated by government.... Lulz.... Fastest way to destroy the economy I could think of....

Look, I'm not going to lie and pretend I'm for raising minimum wage. I don't believe minimum wage does anything at all for workers... but imo, getting machines to do jobs humans used to do means nobody has to do those shitty jobs anymore. (better for humanity as a whole) In an ideal world, nobody would have a job, everyone could just stay at home and play all day, and they'd get free mcdonalds whenever they want.

And then when the increasing number of people without jobs complain about their situation and their children's situations do you bitch about the Democrats giving them "free stuff"?

I'm sure they'll find better use of their time. Doing work machines could easily perform is a waste of life. (unless it's a hobby)
