So, let me get this right... Your defense is "they do it too?"

Sorry I don't agree with that.

do 2 wrongs make a right?


Okay? So what point are you making? The only point I see is that a political party didn't stay in line with their voter bases wishes. If that's your point again this certainly isn't anything new.

As of right now you haven't expressed any opinion on the minimum wage or sub wage as of yet so the entire point you have thus far tried to express is that politicians don't lisent to voters and everyone knows that and that's why this is a stupid topic.

Express an opinion on the wage itself and you might have a topic.

Free market means free choice to work for any wage.
You want minimum wage to increase fine we just increase price of iPhone and rent and food.
Good luck getting out of endless cycle of wage increases. All you do is add extra steps


This view is not entirely grounded kn reaility. It costs a few cents more for a bigmac in denmark with employees making 2x what american employees make along with benefits their american counterparts can only dream of.

If anyone can speak idiot, please translate this.


fyi: snipa works in automation, his company designs machines which replace human laborers.

a hike of the federal minimum wage to $20 would massively increase the demand for these kinds of services over night, giving him leverage to demand a pay raise from his employer.

The American minimum is laughable compared to our Canadian minimums even with exchange rates and lower cost of living in some of those red states.

What's Ontario's these days? I haven't kept track of L individual provinces in a few years.

while true i simply meant a raise in the min wage would, through general wage inflation, give me a raise.

There should be no minimum wage. None.


If we get rid of right to work nation wide and enforce laws against union busting I can get behind that

Influences from corporate greed. I don't know. The original minimum in my opinion is laughable.
