Senate Republicans block minimum wage increase bill

[tmonster]

baseball players got fed up and said, "pay me a million dollars to play" ?

labor participation rates didn't increase (and they increased quite a bit) until the later half of the 20th century.

you said labor supply was the same as today which isn't true....simple shyt you could look up on google...

baseball players get paid what they do because of simple market forces like supply and demand...

what aren't you getting? If you actually refuted my point we could have a debate

I'm not saying unions haven't achieved great things

A better question is who feels that raising the minimum wage will have much of an effect?

40 or 50 bucks a week means a lot to people living on that salary, i refuse to believe that its gonna cost THAT many people to cut jobs for reasons other than greed

Simple supply and demand, is apparently not so simple anymore

Simple supply and demand, is apparently not so simple anymore

sometimes it's so complicated, like the great supply demand kerfuffle of 1970's

from

somehow the supply of baseball players must have went way down so their salaries went way up
it's a great mystery,how that happened, like big foot or the conscience of libertarians
maybe there was famine or a secret war

bet you can't explain how their supply changed

see supply and demand can be very complicated

the money that execs make at these companies in bonuses alone would allow that. It's to the point that they cut people in order to fund their bonuses at the end of the year.

SMH. Poor people voting Republican would be like PETA building
slaughterhouses. Makes no sense at all. If Republicans were allowed to run one half this country in entirety, we would have Brazilian favelas in less than 10 years.
