I doubt restaurants are going to keep prices the same as they are when they have to pay employees more. America is gunna get a hell lot more expensive. Here in the UK we have minimum wage and tipping is optional if you wish to when the service is good. When minimum wage goes up so does the cost of the food/services.

RRR 3,996 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 raising minimum wage like this will have pretty horrific results for everyone that isn't a minimum wage worker. the world doesn't consist of just insanely rich CEOs, and then minimum wage workers, there are so many people in between that will be affected by such a change. but maybe everything can be resolved by just telling Jeff Bezos "gimme" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize how much we all pay right now to subsidize minimum wage workers? Think of how much $$$ American tax payers fork up for food stamps, low income housing, and other form of welfare to subsidize companies that pay their workers next to nothing. In 2016, the Economic Policy Institute wrote a report that found that if U.S. minimum wage was increased to $12/hour by 2020, tax payers would save $17 BILLION every single year due to a decrease in welfare payments. No serious economist would ever find say that raising it to $15/hour by 2025 would yield "horrific" results.

Source: I have two degrees in economics and public policy Well, of course an internet discussion begins with "are y'all thick." I also have many degrees. What you're saying isn't wrong, but there are many arguments and counterarguments. as well as numerous other factors to consider pertaining to adjacent topics and concepts. I won't insult you, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering we just passed a nearly 3 trillion dollar tax cut, we need to start spending less and asking private companies to spend more to offset it So that’s exactly what you’re seeing from liberal leaders 3 hours ago, PartySick said: Be nice please 3 hours ago, Lady Papa said: Well, of course an internet discussion begins with "are y'all thick.” Guys no sorry I went “are y’all THICC” it’s been lonely in isolation and I’m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
