The GOAT
Jobs are being moved overseas where labor is cheap, and the response here at home is make labor here more expensive.
I couldn't make this up if i tried.
You also couldn't oversimplify it more if you tried
Seattle agrees to raise minimum wage to $15

I told you, that's all y'all always haveMINIMUM WAGE, UNSKILLED LABOR...
but no...you'd push for fukking $20 if you could.
GET OUT OF HERE.
seems large numbers bother you so here is what I propose, you can make minimum wage $2 for all I care, just bring the cost of living down to where the buying power is equivalent to a living wage:yasure:
why can't we address what you think? :youthink: too easy, breh, you must be a masochist:zfg:
this is where your argument loses all weight.
1. A LOT of the LOW LEVEL LABOR does not do work that qualifies them to earn a much higher wage. Period. Get mad if you want
2. What do you mean by upper management? Cause you act like ONLY giant menacing corporations are being discussed here. Theres a lot more forms of work than that.
3. oh yes, the general "offshore banking" bullshyt that applies to yes large...but a relatively smaller number of companies. We can all name the Fortune 500 ones...anything else? Theres a LOT more out there at stake. You can't help but go after the low-hanging fruit can you? Now what does this have to do with MINIMUM WAGE?
4. And no, if you're working for minimum wage you need to find a way to figure out why you're not living a comfortable life. Its not made for you to be able to do so.
You're good at trivializing complex arguments into short talking points while ignoring the forces at play here.
This is more than "upper management" (which amounts to a few number of people anyways)...this is ENTRY LEVEL fukkING WORK...
actually it's not:youthink:
I already told you I support SOME wage increase, but $15 is simply TOO MUCH.

True, but its still accurate. Labor cost in America will increase, while labor overseas will remain cheap...what exactly do you disagree with?

First of all overseas can mean Japan so I disagree.
what exactly do you disagree with?
Two that's not some kind of a rule
Three so what? It's impossible to compete wage for wage with China no matter what the right wing thinks.
bwah ha ha ha say what? just because huh?
Not true, we could implement a safety net that catches people below the poverty line, and abolish the min wage.
and there is nothing we can do about that, history has proven this already, I mean we currently have no policies against influx of cheap foreign goods/competition, we are completely defenseless against this
what exactly do you disagree with?
oh also, we are not complicit in any of this either
:yasure:
We can compete.
Min wage isn't the only way to help "poor" people, and several nations are proving that today.

I'd be for abolishing the minimum wage if the government protected peoples rights to unionize and didn't interfere with collective bargaining. Also if the government did not give any tax cuts to corporations at all then I'd be with it as well.
that's the only thing we can do, maybe we can also compete for living standards, like a race to the bottom, thanks brehWe can compete.

150? c'mon America we can go over 200, where's that can do spirit?
Ahhh...ALTERNATIVES!
Can't even focus on the US, huh?that's the only thing we can do, maybe we can also compete for living standards, like a race to the bottom, thanks breh
