Hike in minimum wage prompts more closings of San Francisco restaurants

That's pretty much the exact opposite of what Christ taught,
so that would make you......

Eating out is a scam. They use the same ingredients you get in any supermarket & charge up to 8x the cost to make.

In the end you get what you pay for and most these restaurant owners only know how to scam people.

A better minimum wage isn't the answer! A rebalancing of ALL things money related needs to be done. And this can't be done in just one country, it has to happen around the world for it to work.

No pity for businesses that rely on slavery.

Why did the massive hikes in wages at manufacturing jobs not close any factories?

Why did the minimum wage fail to close any businesses in 1970?

Increases for inflation, (true inflation), of education, medicine, housing, energy, and food would have put the minimum wage at closer to $20.00 per hour today.

If you include increases in productivity, it should be closer to $30.00 or $40.00 per hour today.

Oh, well we have ourselves an economic genius. While I do agree inflation is an issue answer me this, why not pay $100/hr minimum?

Hate to be a dick but if your only making it with a minimal profit and cant afford to treat your employees well. Then your business model was crap and needed to be replaced in the firat place.

People in 1975 were getting 15.00 an hour working at Sears warehouse. Their rent was 400.00 a month on a now 380,000.00 home.

They literally bought in at 20k and made a quarter million paying off the home in several years.

I can work two jobs beyond full time and I barely make the 2.00 daily bus fare by the weeks end-

Its too preposterous to continue to allow this. The inflation needs to be reduced as everyone in the nation is impacted by it.

If that means full on collapse of todays markets. If that is what it takes. So be it;

Eating out will become obsolete. Home cooking and dining with friends at home will replace restaurants.

A better minimum wage is the only alternative.

It doesn't damage good businesses because it is a level playing field.

No business suffers any more than any other business, because they all must pay the wage.

The object for the business then becomes to hire the best employees.

There would be more unemployment, but people would sort it out the best way available. Women would stay home to raise and educate children, cook meals, clean house, etc., and men would be able to support them.

Bad employees would quickly be fired.


People would rise to the occasion, and the economy would go like a powerhouse.

Money would really trickle down to people who work, and it would be very difficult to maintain mansions, luxuries, and wealth.

Men without families would accumulate enough capital to make capitalism work through innovation and entrepreneurship.

That's the way it used to be.

Walmart tells their new employees how to apply for welfare, because their wages are so low that they qualify for it.

That says all you need to know. Taxpayers are subsidizing the massive profits of multi-billion dollar corporations.

Minimum wage should be exactly what it was during our biggest economic boom HISTORICALLY, adjusted for inflation. And it should AUTOMATICALLY change each year to adjust for the latest inflation rates, so it's not insanely low (or high) for months or years or decades while our politicians argue whether or not it should change.

Which, when implemented in the mid-20th century, led to the biggest economic boom in the history of the world.

If you'd rather have your workers on taxpayer-funded welfare than pay a modern livinvg wage, fuck you.

That would be too high, dipshit. Just because it's too LOW now doesn't mean we should make it too HIGH! Stop being so damn greedy, burger flipper!

Found the guy who failed math.

See how the statist, government loving, Bernie voter spins his argument. Pay attention GLPers.

Huh?

The government should have high minimum wage laws to magically make everyone rich or have welfare and if there is no debt-fueled welfare then the economy will collapse?

Why not just have no minimum wage and no welfare and let the free market decide what prices should be?

If tyranny failed in the USSR, Cambodia, and Nazi Germany then why are Americans embracing it?

Eating out will become obsolete. Home cooking and dining with friends at home will replace restaurants.

Not many people would say Nazi Germany was a free country.

How would you feel if you wanted to buy a $3 hamburger, but the government said hamburgers must cost at least $4?

How would you feel if you wanted to sell your home for $100,000, but the government said houses cannot be sold for over $80,000?

Do people have any responsibility for working for a low wage? If the minimum wage is $1 per hour and you accept it, who's fault is that?

If you want more money, work harder, learn a skill, or start a business. You cannot get wealth by decree.

Do you think raising the minimum wage will reduce prices?
