Why the minimum wage increase may shut down Dee’s Route 202 Diner

The tipped minimum wage is $5 in Maine. So the only ones getting the $9 minimum wage in that dinner are cooks and dish washers. If you can't afford that when you have all those waitors and waitresses making $5 plus customer's tips, then your business sucks.

There has to be a cutoff point. If minimum wage was $4 there would obviously be more businesses that could afford that.

The US and China are both police states, but there are differences.

The US used to be a moral, free, and peaceful country with decreasing debt. Now the USA is an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state.

China is not famous for being a free country.

Americans used to believe in personal responsibility, but today Americans have no pride and embrace welfare. Some Americans are resisting tyranny by dropping out and going Galt and draining welfare while refusing to work and pay taxes.

Welfare in China is not very generous or developed, but many Chinese evade taxes. Accepting welfare is considered to be shameful by some Chinese.

The Chinese are more optimistic because China had no freedom before, but became a little more free.

The US is pessimistic now because Americans had freedom before, but are now embracing tyranny.

The US used to believe in free trade and immigration, but now Americans want to be like North Korea and have closed borders.

The USA used to believe in freedom and the free market, but now Americans have become like retarded children who want their beloved government overlords to decree that rents be cheap and the minimum wage be high and tell Americans what to think, what to do, what to wear, what to eat, and where to live.

Americans used to fight Commies and Nazis, but have now become Commies and Nazis.

Absolutely disgusting.

You should be receiving a job offer from the Democrats any day now.

It'll ask you if you're interested in being the poster child for "low information voter 2020".

Doesn't pay much but it'll get your picture out there and you'll become a darling of the other idiots.

There is so much you apparently DON'T know that it would take five pages to try and educate you. The big words would frustrate you and you'd quit after two paragraphs so I won't bother.

Dee will just have to work harder.

Like she did when she first opened.

Not just Dee's, nuts will be super expensive; like Iran pistachios are the best. Stock up before they are roasted.
$15 / hour will finish off what is left of the economy.

Literally just inflation-adjusted minimum wage from 70s
That's right, wages haven't even kept up with inflation, and in most cases, they've fallen

Nor, the 2.5% cost of living increase that should be added each year and never is.

Profit margins are very slim for restaurants and minimum wedge can break you. Moving a minimum wage just $2 for a small staff of 15 people x 20 hrs a week each is $600/ week $2400/ month. Not many restaurant owners have an extra $2400 (small conservative example) to throw away. A staff of 20 ppl at 30 hrs ea is $4800 a month. I say shut it down and fire every one, sell everything and retire. Fuck the losers that want more.

Dees Nuts

Classic

Good one!

We can thank Soros and a certain group for this downfall. It took years of planning and actual operation to make this happen.

Why not set the minimum wage at $1000 per hour and rents at $10 per month? Wealth by decree! Free money!

Everyone knows that the USSR was such a huge success. What could go wrong?

How is it that family run means everyone else is a slave?

Do the work crybaby

$15 plus tips assholes

$80 000 trucks, figure it out?

So I will be able to afford a 2020 in 2040

Americans love their beloved government overlords. The only time Americans get angry when the Gestapo shoots an unarmed American in the back is when the officer is black.

Americans don't care if they must give their fingerprints to travel if Muslims do, too.

One reason Americans hate freedom now is that the media runs horrifying stories about a dangerous problem and downplays concerns about tyranny.

Another reason Americans hate liberty now is because Americans think freedom only benefits others and tyranny only applies to other people.

If you don't wear shorts, you won't care if shorts are illegal.

If you're white, you might think that you're immune from the police state.

If guns are banned, Americans think that they will be safe, but Americans don't realize that gun bans apply to everyone.

Every problem has a knee-jerk reaction, but no one thinks about the unintended consequences.

If wages are low, Americans scream that the minimum wage must be raised. No one cares about prices rising or businesses closing.

If US exports are expensive, Americans say a trade war should be started. No one cares about prices increasing or exports falling.

If smokers die, Americans insist smoking must be illegal. No one cares about freedom or tobacco workers.

If regulations kill the economy, Americans say that there must be welfare.

If welfare raises the debt, Americans say taxes must be increased.

The problem with decrees is that eventually you end up living in a prison.

Now that straws are illegal, do you honestly believe tyranny has stopped? Do you feel safer? Do you think toothpicks or mouthwash will never be banned?

Americans don't realize problems don't require force. Americans do not understand that the free market can provide solutions.

Why not allow workers to decide what wages they will accept?

Why not boycott imports if you hate free trade?

Why not allow nonprofits to educate people about the dangers of cigarettes?

Can't charities provide welfare for the poor?

Was there a minimum wage, trade war, smoking laws, and food stamps in 1910? Did Americans just starve to death in 1910?

Confiscate the Gold again, Gold Reserve Act.

How can you work if everything goes up but your wages?

Just love all the responses, lol

No one is forced to work there.


Legalize capitalism! Legalize liberty!

So how many unneeded rootcanals for $80 000 sierra?

Unneeded botched colonoscopy's?

How many old people do you have to turn over ,in the old folks home to make enough to buy a sierra?

That means first/ last month rent 2x same month

Why can't normal citizens become their own business and take an I9?... They can work on any agreed upon amount that way and pay their own taxes using gas, car as a business expense, etc.
We should become our own business and work where we want without the socialist scum dictating every damn thing.
