| Anonymous Coward User ID: 961432 United States02/12/2013 10:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Okay I will make a prediction, you heard it here first. In a couple years, maybe the end of Obama's presidency or the next POTUS, the fed will issue a denomination-less bill maybe an Obama Buck. That is a bill that has no face value, but some text or mumbo jumbo that states you must check the official government website to find the value of the bill at that particular moment in time. You want to know how much the bill is worth, you get on line and it says $1,000,0000. The next day, it says the bill is worth $2,000,000. You heard it here first. / |

Does a McDouble really need to be $1 or would it be better if it cost $1.50 and the workers actually made enough money to survive? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18996623 It doesn't change anything because prices inflate across the board....so the worker is basically even Steven with the only capital being made are political ones for Obama.... I understand price inflation, but raising the minimum wage is not the only pressure up or down on price inflation. If your point was a hard and fast rule then it would essentially be saying that there HAS to be the amount of poverty that there currently is. |
