Pelosi's Freezer

raising minimum wage creates inflation, and businesses to move to other countries, hire people from outside the USA or replace people with machines, does not help anyone. you want to earn more, you get an education and sharpen yourself for a better job that pays more.... it is all about being competitive. Lazy people do not want to be competitive and want to remain in the same shitty job without making any efforts to advance, but want to get paid more.

Yeah, cuz inflation hasn't happened in over a decade.

because we keep raising minimum wage, that is why, and you see it predominately in states that has raised the minimum wage to 15$ an hour. However your answer is weak and shows your lack of understanding and providing a good argument. Please go study economics before you come back to me with a lame answer.

What was the price of gas 10 yrs ago compated to today?, the price of food, rent, insurance, etc etc?

the answer is in supply and demand, living in a planet with limited resources. Or do you believe that the planet has unlimited resources?

We always do, man you really have an alternate reality in your brain. Consider going to your free doctor and have that checked out.

You do know that recourses are tied to the environment right?

This is a fairly complicated subject, that really doesn't come down to liberal vs. conservative, or democrat vs. republican, imo. In a perfect world, which we do not inhabit, everyone who is willing to do an honest day's worth of work, would be paid a living wage.

However, jobs that pay minimum wage are not necessarily intended for people trying to earn a living. They are often students or others who work at part time jobs that don't necessarily require a lot of skill. Raising the minimum wage has been shown to cause employers (particularly, non-small business employers such as national food chains, or national stores) to replace those minimum wage workers through automation.

So, like a lot of well intended yet naïve liberal policies, raising the minimum wage could likely have unintended, yet negative result in the form of job elimination. Sure, if you're a minimum wage worker who is one of the lucky ones who doesn't lose their job, you'll be making more. But what about those unfortunate individuals who are laid off?

Like I said, not a simple issue, and not easily dropped into the traditional identity boxes when it comes to how people view the issue.

The first link below is to a Congressional Budget Office analysis of raising the federal minimum wage to various thresholds ($10/hr, $12/hr, or $15/hr), and the second is to a Forbes article discussing the issue. The attached image is from the first link.

And you are Canadian, GTFO, this American post. We are not here discussing Canadian politics. Go home lost one. LOL

Shut the f**k up, this is a public site. Don't like it, go somewhere else

I tell you where we are not going to... Canada. ROFL.

Gate's locked anyways.

I live in a country where the lowest minimum wage is $13/hr. We seem to be doing fine

which country is that? Because I have the feeling we are comparing apples to oranges.

Canada. And Jan 1st raising it again, here in BC, like 10 feet from Seattle, up to $15/hr.

But then all the jobs are going to move out from BC to China.

- oh, wait.

Half of our population is Asian, we won that battle

Gulp! Wait a minute, with that corporate breaking $13 going on $15pr/hr wage for what we in America call ESSENTIAL WORKERS on account of that we would have been dead already this year without them, the Asians are coming HERE, to North America? Why, to gloat how all our fruit picking burger flipping stockboy lifting cashier ringing ass wiping jobs are being exported to Big Bad B-B-BIDEN'S China (where all quality Trump products are made!)?
Surely you kid?

Raise minimum wage raise prices all around or fire workers. I can't dumb it down anymore for ya.
You really think corporate CEOs will take paycuts to cover the increased costs?

That's it, defend tax cuts for the rich and low minimum wages, sounds like you've bin dumbed down enough

Pffft they could have given 1200 4 months ago but democrats were worried it would make trump look good. They had a 1.8 trillion offer they turned down.

I feel sorry for you guys, our government stepped up both provincially and federally and have been helping those in need out. Now all the f**kers that abused the system are gonna get f**ked, I fortunately didn't need the help and the owner of my shop cut $500 per month off my rent. But I can't imagine how shitty things are for some for christmas. All the best to you and yours

and yet Pelosi owns mansions while the people she governs are starving and struggling, yet they also have to audacity to defend her and accuse the other party...hmmm interesting. 0 human dignity, sheepple. You must be from Cali.

and yet trump owns mansions while the people he governs are starving and struggling, yet they also have to audacity to defend him and accuse the other party...hmmm interesting. 0 human dignity, sheepple. You must be from Cali. Fixed it

out of context, Trumped earned his money as a business man, not a politician unlike Pelosi. He only has 4 years as a politician, which he ended up loosing money for it. 0 human dignity, sheepple.

Earned his money? You mean inherited, borrowed , scammed, owes

Owes over 400 million.
