>>71645728
As the prophecy foretold
>make minimal wage high
>companies need to fire people to pay other people.
Who thought this was a good idea?
Why does the company have to fire people? There actually is an alternative. They eat the loss. These greedy corporations become addicted to a certain profit margin. The world wont end if they make a little less.
>>71647050

Liberals and blacks
>>71647402
Did you read the article? The owner of that restaurant isn't just firing people, she is closing that pizza shop entirely.
>>71647402
Or they could just fire him, and hire someone they think can and will consistently shoulder what they deem as $15/hr worth of labor and service?
>>71647402
>they eat the loss
When a company repeatedly takes losses, it ends up bankrupt. I worked delivering pizza and was paid $5 an hour and most of my income came from tips. $15 an hour is unsustainable for certain businesses, especially during slow seasons.
>>71647402
>They eat the loss
You don't realize how companies work, do you?
Those who possess the 95% of worlds treasury don't even know what is a "minimum wage" nor do they know how it will change. Nor do they care.
>>71647568
In this case yes but a big company like mcdonalds or walmart can handle the loss but the ceos are greedy and spiteful so they fire people instead.
>>71645728
Z Pizza is really fucking good too.
I hope they all fucking burn.
>>71647402
Why eat the loss when I can hire an illegal immigrant, pay them half the minimum wage under the table, and keep on enjoying my profit margins?
>>71645728
>thought it would make life better
>free money at the expense of my employer
>biting the hand that feeds him by being a lazy unmotivated piece of shit
>surprised when he loses his job.
Forgot this in my last post. Hope the faggot has to beg.
>>71647402
>. They eat the loss.
Read the article retard.
It was a small business that closed down because they couldnt afford it anymore.
Meanwhile the big kike businesses can "eat the loss" just fine and will just continue to out source.
>>71645728
How dare employees demand a living wage, the corporate executives need their $100 million a year salaries after all.
>>71647402
>These greedy corporations
>Gee willikers, what is a franchise again?
>>71647820
Yes, pizza driver is a very serious position and should pay for an apartment, car and insurance. It's not like it's meant for teenagers trying to earn spending money.
>>71647676
So what you're saying is we should drive everyone but McDonalds and Walmart out of business.
>>71647820
Minimum wage IS a "LIVING" fucking wage. Lower your fucking expectations and enjoy living in a shitty apartment or getting a roommate like everyone else that's worked their way up.
Lazy piece of shit.
>>71647676
So you would rather the only restaurants be multinational corporations?
>>71645728
So companies will only keep the best and hardest workers and faggots that call out or show late will get sent packing. Will actually improve service
>>71647676
okay so the article is about a small business franchise in seattle, where in the fuck do you see mcdonald's or anything like that in this article? stop trying to misdirect the issue with some "hurr hurr big corporations are bad" shit, and focus on what's actually going in
>>71647676
That's just, like, your opinion man.
>>71647820
That is 100% right. Why cant the millionaire ceo take a pay cut? If the ceo of a company is making 200x more than the average worker then thats a telltale sign of cronyism. The market doesnt decide whats hes worth. He does and he has a very high sense of self worth.
>>71645728
>WAAAH My business is shit and nobody wants to eat there so I'm gonna blame it on the minimum wage hikes!
>>71647676
>redistribute the wealth
>power to the proletariat
ok comrade
>>71645728
>liberals digging their own grave
what's new
>income inequality
wait until people realize that this will not change WEALTH INEQUALITY. it will just tax new doctors and lawyers and CEOs to the point that they can never become wealthy. it will only widen the WEALTH GAP that liberals have successfully conflated with the income gap.
>>71647402
fool
>>71647676
Oh so you're just shifting the goalpost because it didn't suit your argument?
>his boss wuz a greedy C-E-O
>oh wait he's not, and he's forced to close the small shop down
>well it would have made sense if he was a C-E-O...
You realize it's mostly the "big greedy CEOS" that can afford the $15 wage, right? The small businesses, owned by your average taxpayers, are the ones getting raped.
A domino pizza or pizza hut will replace it soon enough, so don't worry about your next pizza order.
>>71648000
A large portion of people making minimum wage or slightly higher are over 25. It's not about what's "meant" to be.
The better argument is that many employers can't afford to give the higher wages.
>>71647666
>business owners have no right to make a profit
>>71647402
The only companies that can eat loses are large ones. This bill will force small stores to close and be replaced by Dominoes and Papa Johns, and once those companies and the law drive the other pizza places out of business they can just jack up their prices. All these laws due is increase the difficulty of small business and increase the cost of living in their cities
Maybe in global economy small businesses are destined to die out
>>71647402
>There actually is an alternative. They eat the loss.
That's not an acceptable alternative for a business.
If you want handouts, grab a tin can and hit the street.
>>71648133
this
>>71648285
Maybe this is why globalization wasn't such a great idea for anyone that wants something other than Mcdonalds and Walmart.
>>71647402
>Greedy corporations
>same as a local pizza shop
Fuck off troll
>>71645728
15 $ is too much imo. We have 8.50 minimum wage in germoney
>>71647402
>greedy corporations
Not every business is some giant corporation. Small, locally owned businesses have to pay the higher minimum wage as well, and not all of those business owners are making money hand-over-fist, you dolt.

>>71647676
>we need to kill all small businesses
Spoken like a true liberal
>>71648110
I need more reaction images, imagine a smug pepe with baggy eyes.
Small businesses exist on the wire a lot of the time. They pay employees nearly 10 dollars more than they used to. Say one employee works 40 hours a week, you are losing 400 dollars/employee. If you have a whole delivery staff of only 3-4 people a small business can't stand to lose 1200-1600$ a month.
>>71647402
Why I'll never own or operate my own business: The post.
>>71648285
>global economy needs 15$ minimum wage
Why are you so hell bent on cucking us into oblivion?
If people cant expect to make at the very least a livable wage then what is the solution? More welfare? If you have a job you shouldn't be in poverty.
Minimum wage laws should only apply to companies that employ more than 500 people.
Small businesses dont have the margins to handle it.
>>71648589
I forgot to add, say a delivery man made 5 dollars/hour now they have to be paid 15 dollars/hour.
>15$ wage
>for making pizza
>>71648672

But modern nu-males and femishits have to have their ten dollar starbucks, pot, alcohol and all that good shit.
>>71648722
That's just it, he's not making 15 dollars for making pizza. He's not making anything.
>>71645728
what a faggot
He needs to work at a progressive place like starbucks
>>71647402
>pizza shop
>corporation
I took the bait didn't I
Businesses will bitch and moan as usual like they do every time the minimum wage goes up. Then it will become the norm and everything will be fine because the world was never actually ending.
>>71648672
That isn't true. All work isn't equal. What do you even call "work"? Getting hired can mean anything from a part time job for spending money to an experienced lawyer. $15 an hour kills small businesses while making big businesses kill underperforming stores. They don't fire people because of their "greedy CEOs" they fire people because a small McDonalds in a small Kansas town can't afford to keep going.
>>71648822
Dont forget the yearly new 800 dollar phone, and new laptop and thousand dollar black framed fake glasses
>>71648672
You keep getting btfo.
>>71647402
Not sure if bait or u got no idea wat u talking about nigga. Place is a franchise, not a corporation. If u don't know wat dat is u need to go back to 4th grade. Also she ain't firing people she closing the business. God damn. I'm "black and uneducated" and you look like a infint
surely liberals will learn a valuable life lesson from this...right guys?
>>71648820
If you are in poverty with or without a job then you might as well just not work and live off the government dole
>>71648929
until the economy collapses
>>71648779
>reality is a liberal's greatest enemy
>>71645728
The US is doomed. There are actually a record number of vacant positions, but there aren't enough qualified workers. So all the uneducated and untrained people are working in service and government demanding to be paid more. They do need to be paid more, but they also need to get a real job.
It's actually a real problem because our will mean an end to our consumer society which will mean an end to our reserve status and loss of global dominance. Raising the minimum wage and h1bs are frantic attempts to prop up the consumer society that makes the US a safe place to leave your wealth.
Once the boomers, the biggest spenders, die out this country is fucked.
>>71648929
Businesses should be paying pizza makers at least $100/hr. Greedy corporations hur.
>>71649002
Yes. They will demand a 99 percent tax rate on anyone they disagree with.
>>71647402
>t. faggot Bernie supporter who has never had a real job, much less run a business
>>71648929
Then we'll be back to where we were in the first place and liberals will call for another increase
>>71649025
Nice attitude. Stop and consider for just a moment that you just might be the problem.
>>71647050
Minimum wage plebs
>>71648552
>>we need to kill all small businesses
yup. for every mcdonalds minimum wage employee there are probably several minimum wage small business employees. doubling the minimum is only going to kill small businesses and raise the barriers to entry for new businesses.
In the past the minimum wage kept up with inflation better and the world didnt end? What changed? Businesses got greedier
>>71648589
Businesses fail all the time and there's no shortage of pizza places. Why should I subsidize the wages of this particular restaurant for arguably doing bad business again?
If you search the seattle craigslist there are literally dozens of pizza making positions available that are already able to pay the $15 minimum.
>>71647676
Walmart runs on the thinnest margins in the world.
>>71645728
Seattle is the most fucked up city I've ever seen. It's going to Detroit itself within ten years.
>>71647402
You're a stupid piece of shit. This is about small businesses not huge corporations like McDonald's and Walmart. Guess what, now those guys have NO competition because the little guys can't keep up. So now the big companies make even more money and the CEOs get RICHER.
>>71649056
This is what people dont get. Were declining in quality all over. Its why thrift stores and dollar stores are so popular.
Also why people are building furniture out of things like wood pallets. Talk about 3rd world aspirations.
>>71648722
Yeah man, I'm with you. It's hard work to bust your ass knocking out pizzas all night. But it requires zero education, or training, or thinking. Anyone off the street can do that job. What about all the other people who make less than $15, and have jobs where more than an unsatisfied waits for them if they fuck something up? For instance, a building maintenance tech. If this one low payed guy fails to do his job properly, a boiler could explode, and people could die. And no one cares that he makes $10 an hour.

>>71647050
All businesses are owned by the 1% who make millions and billions, they can afford it. 15% an hour is too low imo, should be 100$, how can you put a price on a human???
>>71649351
in 1960 the minimum wage was $1. do you seriously think that is reasonable?
>>71649263
Yeah I'm sure that mom and pop pizza shop is sooo greedy, sooo greedy in fact that they rather close down than paynthat man a "living wage" ;^)
Why not make the minimum wage a hundred dollars
or a hundred thousand
or a hundred trillion lol
Like do these morons understand the cost of living?
>>71645728
As he should. If his employer is so bad at managing his staff and work that he can't stay open then he should close.

Holy shit that is one smug anime girl.
Why can't shitty small family owned businesses that have a tiny profit margin be able to pay their employee's less?
And something like McDonalds or Walmart with gigantic profit margins, be forced to meet a higher minimum wage?
Why not tie minimum wages to a companies profits? So Walmart and so on pay $15 but not a two person pizza shop

Didn't you know that all businesses make literally unlimited money and could afford to pay everyone a thousand bucks a day?
They just don't do it because they're greedy
>>71648446
Gotchu famalam
And another thing. Work at a pizza shop, McDonalds or whatever is what you do when you can't find other work. Or it's what you do while you get educated or trained for a career. Or it's your first job that you get while in school still for gas money. It's not a fucking career. Do these people think it's OK to just make pizza for their entire life? And instead of changing themselves to find better more fulfilling work. They bitch and demand that an entry level position for retards and high schoolers get a non entry level pay. Why? Do they want to make pizza their entire life?
Protip, Millennials... If high schoolers make fun of you at your job, you should find a better job.
>>71649704
why work if you dont have to? why work if its not worth it?
>>71649677
It would be hard for the small business to retain good workers if the employee can make double down the road at Walmart.
>>71649479
Is it reasonable for you to be able to have anything you want because you're a pizza maker?
>>71649677
because then you're penalising companies for doing what they're supposed to do, make money
why would profits change what labour is worth? whether walmart makes a billion dollars in profit or loses money, the cashiers etc do the exact same work
>>71649456
It's not a right. It's just unionization on the city level. If they don't like it they can fuck off to shitsville, red state and pay the slavecucks there.

>>71647402
>greedy corporations
most employment is done through small to medium size businesses which can only handle soo much heat before they collapse
not forgetting that clearly you have not ever managed or owned a business. They need to maintain these profit margins or just one small slip will place them in debt, which in turn could kill them.
>>71649499
>my gf currently works for a small business owner
>i used to work for a small business owner (not my dad's company)
>my dad is a small business owner
honestly in my experience small business owners are always thinking about their employees and paying them as much as they can and giving them free stuff and helping them when shit gets rough in their personal lives. it's like a family. once you get into a big corporation you're on your own. a 15 minimum is going to make it so only corporations can compete.
>>71649832
>why work if it's not worth it?
That is the argument used by people who are against having a minimum wage at all.
>>71648094
That's a good joke because a CEO is an EMPLOYEE, he is not the owner of the business. He signed a contract for a salary.
>>71645728

>>71649832
Not disproving my point, you lazy fuck. How about instead of responding to my insult, you respond to one of the people who have already questioned your shitty logic and utter lack of understanding of the economy? You can't do that though because you're not trying to think about the ramifications of this minimum wage, you're just trying to equate everything to feelings. You're a joke or a troll.

What should have/needs to be done is for the government cap inflation and profit, not raise wages.
It would force those kikes in charge to distribute the wealth within their companies instead of hoarding it and reduce the cost of living.
Nobody has the balls to wage war on the CEO's and people with real power so they just keep scapegoating and giving them more wealth and power.

You know, cocksucker, I bet that sounded real fucking smart in your head. But it is not the way life works. Poor people, with no education, and no skills stay poor. They're not going to one day, wake up rich. They're going to live an unfulfilling life, full of turmoil and strife. They're going to wake up every day, and do the same thing. They're going to eat the same thing day in, and day out. And then, one day they will die, and that's the end.
Let me ask you a question. What do you think personally the meaning of your life is? Why are you here?
I'm here to try to make a mark on this world, and be remembered after I die. I want to be able to leave something for my family when I'm gone.
I've worked as a contractor my entire life. And there has been many times where I had to go out of pocket on a job, and lost money to finish it. I had a contract, and my word saying I would finish the job. So I did, and I lost money. It sucked, but I've fixed that issue in my bidding so I no longer have my jobs go like that. Meaning that I grew and learned something new. It's not stupid, or gay, or lame to stick by your word, even when it costs you money.
It is stupid lame and gay to sit at home waiting for your little government check so you can go out and pretend like you have something. You have nothing. And you're a slave. Stuck at the bottom for your entire life, surrounded by nothing but other losers.
Is that what you want?
>>71647402
That's going to be a no.
>>71649477
easy you go to the black market and ask for organs or slaves , you need to understand that in the capitalist world everything in life has a price on it.
>>71645728
Any new stories like this?
I'd think the new comedy will be the realization is that it will take 6 years to finally hit $15, which in that time they could have gone through a trade school or completed a degree and make twice as much.

They don't realize that most companies actually operate on thin margins. They see that shit about record profits but don't know or care where the money is really going to. The rich are greedy quickly becomes business owners are greedy in their eyes.

If your final straw for leaving California didn't already happen at least 10 years ago you're liberal cancer too
>>71649267
You're right in that regard, all I'm saying is that though the policy may work for some places it doesn't for others. That's just capitalism and competition and I don't have a problem with that, I just find it funny that some workers who complained about this are getting laid off by a policy they pushed.

Pizza drivers in some areas make almost as much as servers. People are just greedy as hell and when their pizza bill comes to $30 they dont want to spend any more on your tip.

Last time I checked NorCal doesn't get to ignore the Handgun Roster or the insanely high income tax/sales tax just because they're not specifically liberal.

But Germany has much stronger labour unions.
Though I find labour unions preferable over a minimum wage.
Sweden iirc doesn't have a minimum wage at all, just very strong labour unions.

>Think you create economic prosperity through the barrel of a gun
The pizza place isn't the financial elite nor are most business for that matter. The free market is efficient therefore businesses that don't have liberal government protection run on razor thin margins.
>>71647402
>They eat the loss.
They never will.
And that's why you need governments to tell people what to do with their businesses. They'd make slaves out of everyone if you let them.
>>71651698
Last time I checked having to pay those things doesn't make you a damn liberal.

>aren't enough qualified workers
This is because IQ tests for employment are not legally viable due to muh racism. Guess what, most of these "qualified jobs" don't actually require a college degree, they require average intelligence, and the only way companies are able to reliably judge this without standardized testing is through college success.
We need to get rid of this meme that if you didn't sell your soul to the academic Jew, you aren't able to do entry level office work.

CEO is a very highly skilled position, they don't just take people with no experience and let them run a multi billion dollar business. It's like the quarterback, peyton manning makes what he makes because nobody else wins games and superbowls like he does. Peyton manning's salary justifies his success. If he lost a bunch of games they'd bench him and not renew his contract.

hope you're not being sarcastic. when my dad randomly has a good month he hands out bonus checks. there was one guy he bailed out of jail twice. he does a cookout for everyone on fridays. it's pretty much his life. if i had to guess he's paying around 13/hr (26k/yr) but guys make more by working more and he only makes about 150k/yr.

>I'm here to try to make a mark on this world, and be remembered after I die.
I'm here to not give a shit, why do you think you will be remembered? There have been people that have accomplished great things, cured diseases, designed technological advancements that have made life better and saved some lives, but in the end they are not remembered they are worm shit as you too will be.

In 15 - 20 yrs robots will have replace humans in these industries anyways, which will be at 1/100th of where they are today in popularity. By that point in the future, fast food will be scorned and practically illegal. You will have to purchase Monsanto's latest GMO "pastes" at your local street side vending-machine, which shall be the main form form of food for common pedestrians, while the elite get to indulge on the once normal rarities like fruits, vegetables, meats, etc.
>>71647402
Just hire all women, then you only have to pay them $11.70 an hour.
It will still go bankrupt because they're shitty employees and there won't be anyone to lift heavy objects/open jars for them. But it nasty last a few weeks longer.
It really reaches a new level of stupidity that this was even passed as legislation, you don't even have to have studied economics whatsoever to realize that this would be the result.
Either dangerously stupid people are running the show in seattle or they've been pressured by retarded leftists to pass this nonsense.
Any more instances of this happening?

Of course they have no right to a profit, that's why thousands of business close every year.
>>71647666
>yes, workers should have no rights, and are merely replaceable objects
And how the fuck is the business going to stay afloat if the people who own it can't afford all the expenses?
>>71647402
And this is exactly why you'll never run a successful business.
Neato. I wonder if liberals will also boycott businesses that replace their employees with robots.

Ofcourse there will, even a child can understand that people who can only pay their workers minimum wage, and having that minimum wage double, their businesses will now be more or less unsustainable.. their wage expenses have doubled without their profit increasing.. net loss..
Fucking burger leftists, they're starting to rival the dindu's in stupidity.

BUT IT WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE, ONE GUY SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE 100 MILLION A YEAR CAUSE WHEN YOU DIVIDE IT AMONG 50,000 EMPLOYEES THEY DON'T MAKE THAT MUCH MORE AN HOUR, THAT MEANS IT'S OKAY THAT HE MAKES 100 MILLION A YEAR

I've worked at restaurants that had business boom in certain seasons, maintaining that wage even during the slow season is just bad business
>>71651799
Most don't run on thin enough margins that increasing the hourly rate for an employee will make any significant difference. Most of the "cost" of an employee to a business is outside of their salary.
The problem is jewish accounting practices where business aren't "profitable" but somehow everybody gets paid, everything gets maintained, shareholders make money, the business survives minor shortfalls, the business expands, etc.

In many ways colleges have led to this mess. Instead of doing an apprenticeship that may have included college, you go to college, do whatever you want, and how there is a job waiting for you. While a degree might give you knowledge, it doesn't qualify you for most positions. Studying engineering and becoming an engineer are two very different things.
And that doesn't even scrape the number of people who don't even try to get trained/educated or just drop out

higher minimum wage causes smaller businesses to go out of business because they can't keep up which creates less competition for corporations which creates more money for corporations

If it's a fallacy you should be able to easily point out where that line of thinking is flawed
Just crying "muh fallacy" doesn't automatically invalidate it
