$15 per hour Minimum Wage: most efficient and effective way to re-distribute the wealth.

$15 per hour will be a total mess.

As I see it, lets take as an example a minority no college fast food worker.

She works at McD's for $8 an hour perhaps 15 to 20 hours per week. Not full time as the company would then be required to offer benefits; Cant have that as its not 1950 any more...

As a single mother with 2.3 kids she gets a average over $500+ a month food stamps based on her low income. The lower the income the more food stamps you get. She and her children are 100% fully covered under State Medicare, She pays zero co/pay for her children and her co/pay If she has one is under $3 per doctor visit, all based on her low income...

She lives in a section 8 house / apartment based on her low income. She may have a live in boyfriend that may help pay for something ( perhaps a cell bill ) if the free Obama phone is not good enough.

She now will get the new $15 an hour but now she makes to much money to qualify for the section 8, medicaid and food stamps.

This McD's worker will be begging for her $8 back or will drop out of the work force all together.

McD's will go full AI automated kiosk and if you want a burger you order with a app using your $1,200 iPhone no $15 an hour employee required.

Or, perhaps the new recent college grads with $50K in student loans will now be the ones taking your McRib order and collecting that $15 per hour living in mom and dads basement with the only goal in life is to make sure mom don't smell that now legal NJ weed....

Looking on the bright side... That $15 per hour in the long run will do one thing for ME as I see it.

Be it a college grad or a robot my McRib may then actually make it inside the bag as I drive away from the window.

Every time I get home something is always missing from my McD's order. Im fine with $15 an hour as long as my McRib is in the bag when I get home...

you mean the Rothchilds? and when i was younger i thought that a single family couldn't create and profit from wars

Nah, Ill just fire some of my employees that aren't worth 15 an hour.

The labor budget is the budget, its set in stone. But, the work around is just having fewer workers do more work, so that $15 per hour is fair to the company.

The 15 per hour plan will just cut out the slackers and the weak employees. Back to the breadline for them.

are you a fucking retard

the largest businesses will pass untouched while the small and medium businesses will die, be shut down and closed permanently because they won't be able to pay the salaries to their workers while the elites will be buying them for pennies on the dollar

so tell me exactly how is a minimum wage a wealth redistribution when the usual suspects and the TPTB will the only ones be profiting FFS

Getting rid of fiat currency and back on the gold standard is the most efficient road back to wealth.

if you don't mind paying 85 bucks for a burger

I dunno...I can repine it....I think. Not sure of the limits on repines...we shall see.

If a business can't afford to pay a living wage to it's workers it was going to shut down eventually anyway or it would have eeked along being a nonfactor in the economy.

Insulating everyone from every possible bad outcpme isn't how a society moves forward. Besides, these minimum wage hikes take effect over about a decade. It's not $7.25 today and $15 tomorrow. Any business that cannot adapt over that period of time frankly isn't worth the effort and isn't doing anyone much good, even it's owner.

I disagree, in the USA we have entry level jobs and boy I was thankful for them when I was in high school earning a few $ just to have enough to take my girlfriend out on Friday night.
Who wants or expects a living wage flipping burgers at McD's or scooping ice cream. Our teens needed a entry level job in the 50's ( think the drive-in waitress on skates) and those teens need entry jobs now.

Lets face it,
If my teen daughter made a "living" wage now what reason would she have to better herself and go to school?

We need young people jobs, I can't help the non educated OR non motivated or motivated to actually make little money so you get the free Medicaid, food stamps, section 8 etc also go after those made for teens jobs.

If the minimum wage does go up to $15 it still will not be a living wage as the hours will be cut to nothing...

You are always going to have high school kids that need a summer job, thats never going to pay much and why should it?

That's where Socialist "Wage and Price Controls" come into play.

It won't even be in the bill. Even without it all the Repubs and two Dems will vote against the bill. Expect this through the entire Biden Admin. The times they are a changin' and the end is not pretty.

Wouldn't $100 an hour be MORE efficient?
