I just worked there, I was not associated with the business.

I do not depend on my parents for one single thing.

Economic policy that is focused on the lowest common denominator will fail. you protect the middle class, not feed the bottom dwellers. no business I have ever been associated with has ever had any need for minimum wage type employees.

If minimum wage were a dollar you could increase it by 100% and the fall out wouldn't be as bad as if it was raised to 10.1 currently. Percentages hide the scale of things. Increasing the minimum by almost three dollars per hour is a big leap. 15 bucks an hour will go from decent income to...

I already quoted it, I did so because UncleBuck said he never never denied the same. You made the denial, he liked your post. Padawanbater2, if you had to have two jobs, that means both of them sucked.

We've never increased minimum wage from 7.5 to 10.1, a 33% raise, in one fell swoop. You do agree with me then, that the purchasing power of someone making 15 will decrease, if minimum goes up to 10.1. That is really my point. I'm not married to the amount of decrease I mentioned. There are...

I was putting rubber gaskets in female water pipe socket. I'm sure it has a technical name, but I forgot. I wasn't the broom man. Seriously, no one from the line was allowed to clean the peanuts. Someone from maintenance came over, fixed the problem and cleaned the mess. Several days over...

Do you have a fucking reading disorder? Uncle was the millwright. His son was the factory worker always talking union. His daddy's union propaganda cost him jobs at two of the best places to work around here. You're so fucking brain washed that you don't appear to think that a good job can...

Nah bitch, this post was about the Costco model. How do you feel about them subbing out many of their vital functions to more walmart level employees? And the back lot sweeper was a hypothetical. I never said I had one, I said what if I wanted to hire one. Speaking of lazy fucks who refuse...

I would like you to read where I said that 1099 people were not actual employees, in the post you quoted here saying I was an idiot for thinking of 1099 people as employees. You're just as dumb as I would expect for a union fan. By the way, my dad operated a business for over 30 years...

There are plenty of union journeyman out of work. They dominate because of politics. Portland, sounds like a democratic strong hold. I'm sure state and local governments have no hand in dictating who gets what work, or rather, who could do what work. Are the steel workers in Atlanta or...

Yeah let's look at that Costco model. Are you aware that they sub out many essential duties to other companies that pay walmart like wages? We treat our employees great. We have high skill guys that are actually 1099, so they're not actually employees per se. They get a Christmas bonus at the...

Yeah I agree. You spent too much time having a good time before age 30 to be of any worth to anyone after age 30. This isn't a problem you can fix with money. The example set by people who work two jobs just to pay rent and buy food is invaluable to young persons who have the slightest bit of...

What validity could you possibly have to criticize anyone's understanding of science when a while back you called me an idiot for saying that water vapor had green house effects? You are a complete hack and totally useless to anyone. If your understanding of this stuff is so advanced, how come...

It has become blatantly clear to me that most of you who are arguing with me has never owned or ran a business. If you had, you'd know that the most expensive part is the people. They are so expensive beyond what you pay them, and a lot of that excess cost is based on their wage. All too...

Thanks. I'm guessing you've never really done anything but work for some big company and feel like you're irreplaceable. Most union workers I know feel that they are the vital cog in the wheel of production. The truth is the worker is the easiest to replace component of an assembly line.

I don't have a sock

Who ever fucked your wife, it wasn't me

Your uncited numbers don't matter. We've never had a 15 minimum to study. You can't possibly believe people making just over the new minimum wouldn't have a decrease in purchasing power after the new minimum goes into place.

So what do you propose? You can't raise the minimum wage enough to let McDonald's workers live there or Manhattan.
