revkevsdi Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Except it works. Ours went from 11.25 to 14. Everyone claimed all the fast food places would fire their staff. Inside of six months they all had help wanted signs up everywhere. You see, if people near poverty get more money they spend it locally, they have no choice. Give another million to the ceo and it gets hidden in offshore tax schemes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Ours (Ontario) went to $14 an hour and it was going to kill jobs but what happened was record employment never seen in over 50 years Funny fast food didn't go up 100% like claimed was going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 That would be great. How about other towns and how about very rural areas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Edit: erased because based off Ontario being a city, which it isn’t. More coffee before I reply again. Lololol Edited January 29, 2021 by CFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 certain areas can definitely afford a higher minimum wage. Other areas, not so much. The reason we're a federalist system is because regional control is better-equipped to govern closer to the governed. Federal minimum wage is the wrong way to do this and is probably only constitutional on a technicality. I'm all for states and municipalities setting their own rules on this. 15/hr in a decent metro area isn't gonna hurt anything. They just opened a new Aldi by us and even offering 16/hour they can't manage to get anywhere near their staffing needs. But in backwater Mississippi, a 15/hr wage would be tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obvious you’ve never started, financed, run or attempted to grow a business, you’ve never paid workers comp insurance, quarterly taxes, business insurance, commercial property taxes, never had to make a payroll , you’ve never worked months without any pay while trying to build the business. (but your employees and expenses have to be paid) In short you’ve never been responsible for anyone but yourself but you feel qualified to tell actual business owners how the business should operate and how the profit should be distributed.

The same is true of waiters and waitresses. They earn a minimum wage of 5.00 with zero benefits. The business owners rely on the government to keep them healthy.
