TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Rebuilding the economy and a gradual raise of the minimum wage is best even tho there is a real time immediate feeling of relief during these hard times...

Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Says a lot about corporations who'd rather cut people instead of paying them liveable wages The proposed law should also come with sanctions for corporations who'd rather cut than appropriately pay. Better make it hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly rather keep literally millions of American families in poverty so the price of your bananas doesn't go up 50 cents over 5 years?

KORG 4,756 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 No it won't. Thats not how the economy works. They said the same about the wages in the UK. In 2000 minimum wage was £3.60 per hour. April 2021 will see minimum wage reach £8.91 per hour. You know whats happened by people having more disposable income? They spend more, stimulating the economy because taxes are taken on more purchases. The wheels of finance are turning nicely. You know what increased demand causes? Increased supply. That means more jobs. Welcome to the 21st century, America. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatican 4,046 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 A lot of these jobs will be automated regardless of the minimum wage. Might as well increase the quality of life and economic power of those working minimum wage jobs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 60,896 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 A lot of this is because people with 2 jobs will be able to just have 1, as their single-job wage increases. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobs like that shouldn't exist. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
