Morally Superior

[WildRose]

No job should pay more than it is worth.

If you start falsely inflating wages on this precept then no wage will be livable because it will drive inflation through the roof.

Lol. Lots of places will or soon will have 15 an hour. I guess we shall see what happens.

Democrats could easily extend them… or make them permanent.

Why didn’t the republicans do this back in the day. Hmmmmm

When they had total control of congress and the president.

Could it be they don’t care that much about individuals.

Allan

They initially did. But concern was raised that in doing so, it would bind future Congresses. Surely as politically astute as you are, you would have remembered the discussion less than four years ago.

You guys constantly gave me ■■■■ for years about how immoral I was from your twenty foot high horse and I’m never not got to be amused by how you violated your own stated principles in a way that offends even my low-empathy shrunken conscience.

I may not have conventional ethics, but I never violate them and I definitely never jump the fence for political convenience.

My but you have an interesting imagination. Yeah we give you ■■■■■ but it’s for crap like this, not your morality.

There you go changing the bar and making up your own definitions again.

One of these days . . . and to do a deliberate job . . . maybe next summer when I have a few free days to organize my thoughts, I’ll start a thread on human prehistory and various implications for the modern world. It’s not going to be a Six Foot diatribe on the the Younger Dryas and civilization, which is absurd, or god, or morality. It will be about the human condition as viewed from a two million year perspective.

I look forward to it as previous posts that referenced this have been interesting. Nice to have an expert around here.

You were on one of the highest moral horses on this whole forum when it came to me. It’s hilarious you actually responded to this.

Now I’m on the horse. Clip clop.

We know what will happen. When the costs to produce goods and services rise the price has to rise commensurately.

They haven’t in New York or jersey.

There are only two choices, you lower costs by reducing employees, raise prices, or a combination of the two.

The price of a Big Mac is .50-1.00 or more higher in those states than in states that haven’t implemented similar ridiculous minimum wages.

So what.

[WildRose]

Try following the conversation and perhaps you’ll figure it out on your own.

Doubtful, but possible.

I’d pay fifty cents more for a big mac if they paid them fifteen dollars an hour, no trolling involved. Address the post, not the poster.

[WildRose]

I addressed it properly, you failed to follow the conversation and jumped in to troll it.

One way or another costs go up so either prices have to follow or you cut workers.

How does that raise work out for those newly unemployed or for those still making minimum wage when their cost of living shoots up faster than their wages increase?

Every time we’ve inflated the minimum wage there is a corresponding increase in unemployment and cost of living.
