I can't wait for the implosion of the USD + crash of US economy, and the liberal art students having to work for the equivalent of 3 or 4$ /hour that they are, internationally, worth.
Why are they comparing the wage for the lowest-skilled workers to the average productivity of everyone? Most of the increase is due to highly-skilled workers, people flipping burgers for minimum wage now aren't 3x as productive than they were in 1960.
>>80978175
Would not have to increase min wage if you faggot cunts stopped raising taxes. Of coarse we know how liberals love raising taxes for dem programs.
>>80978175
Productivity has increase because employers have made investments in technology. Why do the workers deserve more money because their employer made an intelligent investment? An increase in minimum wage will just make inflation go up and we'll be back to square one but now people's savings will be worth less.
>>80980621
Sadly the damage is already done. The only way people can keep their savings it to increase the value of the dollar without printing more fiat currency. Back to the Gold standard.
It would kill small businesses the most who can't afford to pay unskilled labor $15 an hour. I have a 4 year IT degree, I would be pissed if some nigger burger flipper got paid as much as me for having 0 skills.

>>80978175
There are several factors going into the wage rate and productivity, one of the most obvious is technology. It's no coincidence everything is so cheap while wages have stagnated, technology is filling that gap. Another huge factor is immigration and globalization. Globalization is great for the 3rd worlders getting tons of jobs at $2/hour but not so great for the guy in the west losing his job at $18/hour. Immigration is only beneficial when there's a lot of slack in the job market and positions need to be filled, but this is always temporary in any market. New people move into any sector where there's a high demand, like college kids getting an MBA and making $80k out of college. Eventually the gaps get filled and there's a surplus so those jobs "dry up" and the slack moves on. The commodity sector is a great example as it tends to swing like mad, going from huge surpluses to huge gaps in labor. If we really wanted the wage rate to rise and for the country to flourish, we'd drop immigration to 0, kick out illegals and prevent further illegal immigration. In general, teenagers and blacks would benefit the most as they're the least skilled groups. But we don't want the black man well employed...he might become a conservative...
>>80985023

This proves the economic mental failings of conservashits. If the min wage goes up, all climb the ladder career wages go up. Inflation only goes up in certain markets due to an increase in wages, but the value of work itself is increased. Another plus is that you no longer need to have niggers and zitty teenagers touching your food, they will be forced into jobs such as sanitation and factory jobs which will have flat wages for 99% of workers in those respective industries. Anything requiring tiered wages will increase such as retail and professional jobs. So in other words a supervisor at McDonald's who used to make $14/hr will now be making $28/hr while the workers who used to be below her will be making a dollar more than what he/she used to make.
>>80986474

>>80978175
Min wage push explained:
Automation is right now eliminating the jobs we outsourced over the last 25 years. As the cost of labor drops it becomes more and more economical to move production closer to the market, as the transportation costs begin to overcome the labor costs as you reduce the number of unskilled workers you need. So what do you do if you're a marxist commie traitor and you want to keep jobs out of the USA?
>>80988569
How does that work then? Instead you're going to see "Why study, I can easily live off being a barista". That's what happened here in the Netherlands which has a decent minimum wage and the cost of studying went WAY the fuck up.

You're saying they'd choose to raise minimum wage here to make the transportation costs *seem* smaller in comparison just out of spite for the American worker?
>>80988569
and the failings of an apparent libtard in reading history. minimum wages have gone up yet average wages remain the same and purchasing power has gone down.
>>80990223
Spotted the sanitation worker. Good luck with those stagnant wages regardless.
Ps you completely failed to understand my knowledge bomb. I was saying those who say the wages will remain the same as the minimum wages in lower tier positions are economically retarded and you proved it. I will however repeat myself so you can actually potentially absorb the truth. All wages increase in industries with tiered jobs, so no your argument that a supervisor and burger flipper will be equal is null and void. The price of the goods will be slightly inflated but better customer service will be the trade off because increased demand keeps competitive businesses from inflating to match wages. In other words people have more money to spend, demand for goods increases and all losses are accounted for. Any argument that inflation will increase across the board is misleading at best and propagandized thought at worst.
So if automation is going to be pushed to replace jobs, why isn't there a breeding control program?
Stupid people keep fucking and producing more stupid offspring that keep eating away our resources.
>>80991330
And where will the businesses magically get this extra money for the transitional period? You're effectively doubling their spending. Big companies like Google can handle such a blow but small companies like restaurants often barely make a profit as it is.

>Various scientific surveys of Iraqi deaths resulting from the first four years of the Iraq War estimated that between 151,000 and over one million Iraqis died as a result of conflict during this time. A later study, published in 2011, estimated that approximately 500,000 Iraqis had died as a result of the conflict since the invasion. Counts of deaths reported in newspapers collated by projects like the Iraq Body Count project found 174,000 Iraqis reported killed between 2003 and 2013, with between 112,000-123,000 of those killed being civilian noncombatants.

That by turning mcdonalds into a high service restaurant people will pay high service prices and accept low quality food? Also, how won't inflation increase across the board?

I'm saying they are desperate to keep labor costs prohibitively high here so that it never becomes profitable to move back. That's why they are going for such a large increase, 7.25 to 15.00?

In fact this will probably result in even more jobs being outsourced.

low wages is caused by the federal reserve policies. There was never a problem while the US was on the gold standard.
>>80991580
>transitional period
There is none. As soon as people start making more money they will start spending more money. This means all businesses including small businesses will increase their overall revenue. There will also be an increase in entrepreneurial incentive because of the increase in demand. This will create the jobs we need and circumvent the problem of corporations globalizing our economy. The demand for cheap goods from china will decrease as retail standards are raised. Nobody is going to settle for junk when they can afford quality. I think it's kind of funny how economic conservatives are rightfully against the global initiative but then they are against increasing the minimum wage because the globalists want us to compete. That is some backwards thinking shit if you ask me. It's like saying you're against what they're doing but you're going to play into their game because they're going to ship the jobs anyway. These idiots would still be arguing against the minimum wage even if we passed legislation to keep the jobs here. Talk about useful cuckery and the "libtards" are supposed to be the chucked ones,

Other factors affect it anon. If minimum wage increases then by extension the cost of good and services that depend on minimum age labour will get more expensive.
When goods and services get more expensive without improving in quality, that means the dollar is less valuable because you can buy less with it. That's what inflation is.

So businesses will cease to compete? People will continue to eat McDonald's and shop at Walmart now that they can afford not to? What you're missing is the fact that suppliers hire more people at a flat wage than the retailers. So on the supply side, competitiveness remains the same. It increases for the retailers because they need to hire more tiered wage workers. Luckily the suppliers of multinational corporations are not going to change one bit, so the price of international goods will stay the same. This will keep domestic markets competitive and keep inflation at bay. You can thank the global initiative in place for that, it is good for consumers now but not so much when quality becomes affordable. They will lose so much money so fast, and small businesses will be the ones claiming the lost revenue.

Not even that is true. If it was the inflation would always be exactly at the federal reserve's target. The tools the federal reserve have are limited.
In any case raising minimum wage reduces the productivity of the economy. It costs more to produce the same stuff. The fed can devalue the dollar, but that doesn't recreate the lost wealth. It just lowers the price of absolutely everything, including wages and savings. Thus everyone who saves get's fucked and people who are in deep debt and take out large loans are rewarded.
>>80994968
>In any case raising minimum wage reduces the productivity of the economy. It costs more to produce the same stuff.
you're only looking at this from one side.
a higher minimum wage means more money that does not go towards essential expenditures and debt service, meaning more money is spent into the economy. on top of that, a higher minimum wage has always been shown to put upward pressure on wages overall, meaning nearly everyone's wages will rise.

cancelled out by the fact that everything get's more expensive. Which contracts the economy. If this logic were true you could literally make minimum wage $100 an hour and everything would be even better.
>meaning nearly everyone's wages will rise.
Raising wages are not good without rising productivity. That contracts the economy and makes the country less competitive. Also more people are unemployed, so taxes are higher to cover welfare costs.
>>80994774

>>80995175
That is always the conservative viewpoint's conveniently missed aspect of economics which is supply and demand. When people make more money, demand increases for not only the goods themselves but the quality of the goods and where they are from/being sold. The best way to look at min wage increase is an investmentment by the employer class in the working class to generate more domestic money in the economy. If they really want to create jobs here, they would want to increase the minimum wage to increase the demand for domestic goods. Demand is the key to creating the supply domestically which is the only incentive for them to create jobs here. If they can make more money off of you eating the poison and buying junk products because you can't afford anything better, the demand for domestic jobs will never exist. Increasing the minimum wage is the only thing to reach that demand.

The OP's entire premise is not only flawed, but just downright retarded.
>>80995807
>please demonstrate a period where a minimum wage increase lead to a 1:1 increase in prices
Not 1:1, but the effect is cancelled out ultimately. You need more welfare to pay for the extra unemployed. The extra wages companies need to pay will certainly directly factor in the the price they can sell goods and services for. It most likely won't take effect immediately. Some companies will go into debt while they work out new prices. Governments can go into more debt to cover the welfare costs. But ultimately all the debt needs to be paid. Prices *must* eventually go up.
>when did productivity stop rising?
What I mean is wages should rise naturally due to free market forces. The Fed has been fucking it up since the 70's since leaving the gold standard. There's a reason wages were rising fine before this, then suddenly stopped.
You can up the minimum wage to under pin general raises in wages, which is what normally happens. What's not good is simply raising them simply because people claim they can't afford to live on them. This does not help people in the end, it puts more of them out of work. You can't force peoples labour to be worth more like this, it just doesn't work.

Don't forget that clothing is cheaper, furniture etc.. But you are correct in that the inflation tax has cost the average joe huge amounts, but there has still been a decrease in prizes.
Housing prizes have increased, but so has housing standards. I have lived newly built apartment complexes, apartment complexes built in the 1960s and several built a century ago, the newer ones are simply much better.
That aside, housing in Sweden is insanely expensive because of ridiculous regulations and the average worker paying 68% in tax on his salary. Education in Burgerstan is pretty fucked up generally, but the education system is increasingly not worth it.
Food is cheaper than ever. We don't really have functionary healthcare in Sweden, but it is manageable. The insurance system in Clapistan seems to be fucked up, even before Obama-care screwed it up.
>>80996878
Do as you will. But the simplest explanation of things is usually the correct one. It's not hard to understand if the cost of various resources in the economy goes up, then the cost of buying shit in that economy will go up and thus there is inflation. It's not complex. I would expect even a libtard can understand it.

>all wages increase in industries with tiered jobs
all is incorrect, some will, while others may not, and more often than not the difference will be low. (i.e. 10/hr worker, 12/hr supervisor)
What that means, you incompetent fuck, is that less people will move upward, because it is not worth 2/hr extra (equivalently 4k/yr ish) to deal with these guys and their horse shit, who, like you, think they're entitled to these fry cook jobs that pay amazing with benefits and all that shit, when they could be replaced on less than half that magical salary with a robot that can do more, longer, with lower maintenance and regulations.
>the price of good will be "slightly" inflated
They will double in price. Roughly. that's not "slightly," and even your jaded, bullshit ass "logic bomb" won't even let you spew that shit unfettered.

from nothing. More customers only means more sales. Extrapolate from there, you get back to the START of the problem, not the end. That job will get automated faster than you can type.

not true. when you pay the lowest common denominator as much as their superiors used to be paid, you lower everyone elses value above them. 16 year olds do not deserve a car, house, and food for flipping my burger.

I've explained it in my other posts but I will say it again: supply and demand. More money being spent domestically creates the demand for domestic goods. Once there is a demand for the goods there will be a demand for domestic suppliers as well because all industries will be taken back from the multinational corporations and given to entrepreneurial businesses in this country. The reason the walmarts and costcos have dominated is because the demand for cheap imported goods is high because of the cost of living is high. If wages are increased demand for those goods will decrease drastically.

These are far more convenience than cost. Cooking your own meals every day would be the cheapest way to live but very few poor people do it.
The biggest issue with this is that even if everything works out as well as you are claiming foreign production will still be cheaper and will still be used by large corporations. Low labor force participation rate is a much worse issue than low wages are, and raising minimum wage will work against that.

You're basing the whole thing on commodities? Don't you realize is the whole point of commodities is that they become rarer, and increase value over time, independent of inflation? Are you really this stupid, or are you a shill?

I'm a conservative, and to be honest, she's right. Many industries have been practically monopolized, and the money has gone to a very select few at the top.
Problem is, that means now only those select few could afford a $22 minimum wage. If it happened, the monopolization would be further enforced.
The dollar needs more spending power, that's the only real solution, but it is much easier said than done.
>>80998772
I love how libtard rocket is always:

>>80993964
The worth of any dollar is how much you can buy with it. One of the most accurate, simple, and universal ways people have found to figure out an objective worth for a type of currency is the price of a MacDonald hamburger. So if this change in minimum wage would conceivable change the price of a MacDonalds hamburger, it would absolutely devalue the dollar. It would have market spanning changes, and all your expenses for the same things would cost more.

>>80998367
>what i posted is actually demonstratable to be true though
Except it's not, while what price floors actually do is demonstrably true given basic economic assumptions that no one disagrees people generally validate as being true.
Let's explain it to you in text since you're too autistic to listen to spoken words.
Price Floors are minimum prices set by the government for certain commodities and services that it believes are being sold in an unfair market with too low of a price and thus their producers deserve some assistance. Price floors are only an issue when they are set above the equilibrium price, since they have no effect if they are set below market clearing price. (Are you following retard? Did you even know this is what a price floor is?)
When they are set above the market price, then there is a possibility that there will be an excess supply or a surplus. If this happens, producers who can't foresee trouble ahead will produce the larger quantity where the new price intersects their supply curve. Unbeknownst to them, consumers will not buy that many goods at the higher price and so those goods will go unsold. There will be economic harm done even if suppliers can look ahead and see that there isn't sufficient demand and cut back on production in response. There is still deadweight loss associated with this reduction in quantity, reflected in the loss of consumer and producer surplus at lower levels of production. Producers can gain as a result of this policy, but only if their supply curve is relatively elastic and therefore they have no net loss. Consumers will definitely lose with this kind of regulation, as some people are priced out of the market and others have to pay a higher price than before.

We instituted a minimum wage in my company. Everyone is furious that they didn't get pay raises. For example, we have people that mop the floors. These people look like we found them off the streets and put them in khakis and a polo. They don't smile and greet people. They do a half ass job of mopping the floor while listening to music on their phones and talking to their friends.
They went from getting paid $8/hr to $12/hr. They still do the same thing. Meanwhile, we have financial services personnel as well as other low wage cubicle busywork jobs getting paid the same amount. They're expected to attend important sales meetings, dress and act professionally, and keep busy with higher level tasks like justifying insurance claims on excel spreadsheets and taking phone calls from important business clients. They are fucking furious. Meanwhile, Tyrone just bought a new car with his raise and already got it repossessed.
Some of the other jobs got raises, largely operations personnel and management. But given the number of low level secretarial workers and the job market, it didn't make financial sense to give the cubicle monkeys raises.
What's sad is many of them are getting to be retirement age and they aren't getting annual raises like they should. They can't retire and all the money is being spent on the floor moppers, managers, and operations.
It's sad when people make such irrational decisions in business and people suffer because of it. Although well intended, floor moppers should make floor mopper wage, otherwise it fucks the entire spectrum of wages up.
>>80997373

Terrible argument based in fallacious views of how an economy in the current age operates, not how it could be 200 years from now. Robots aren't replacing shit right now so just stop with this meme.
>but the higher ups will only make a few dollars more
Total bullshit. Those wages will increase according to the incentives of employment. Who is going to work as a supervisor if they're getting paid basically the same wages as the employees below them? Qualified work and wages will correlate just like they do now. Your argument denies the economic reality that can be observed right now, so your bs is discredited.
>I don't know how s&d works and don't care
I know you want economics to be black and white like your world view, but its nuanced as fuck. The fact that the biggest markets import their supply is proof that inflation will not increase in most markets. But demand will increase and domestic jobs will be created by small business as a result. By the time the big markets could push to inflate it would be too late because the market will already be too competitive after its broken down into supply and demand by new domestic markets.
>>80999585

How?
Suppose I give a poor person more money. Now he's off food stamps so he's paying for his food himself and gets the same shit he used to just the government doesn't pay for it directly anymore.
Or, suppose he now has enough money to have some extra over what he used to buy. He buys himself a nice Japanese TV or a German car. Maybe its a girl who decided to expand her wardrobe, but since the american textile industry has been killed off completely she has to buy foreign produced clothing.
You're claiming that people with more money will naturally buy domestic goods, but you have nothing to back it up. People buy foreign goods because they're cheaper and in many cases the only option after years of offshoring production. Japanese cars are often more American than the American cars are since they have more parts made and assembled here, but your average moron is going to buy American and put money into the pockets of the rich while buying foreign would actually help the common American worker more.
Your entire argument ignores the effects of globalization. The world is too connected.
>>80999585
>Waaahh, I didn't get fair treatment right away
This shit takes time to adjust. Of course they aren't going to increase everyone's wages right away especially if they voluntarily raised the minimum wage at that particular company.

It's not so much which goods they buy but where they buy them from. For example, a poorfag buys all of his products from WalMart because he can't afford to buy them from the mom and pop stores. So he contributes to the economic monopoly that stimeys job growth and entrepreneurial incentive. Not to mention our major retailers hire people at low wages which doubly benefits them because A) they don't have to pay them much and B) most of their money is spent at the store so hiring poor workers willing to work for those wages ensures they will get the money right back. This prevents trillions from regenerating into our domestic economy especially since most of the goods bought by these retailers are imported.

>If you cant afford the decency to pay somebody a living wage for the effort they expend for you... to value them being alive...
>Then you shouldn't be in business.
That's a nice notion. But making it illegal to pay anyone something lower than a "living wage" will have the direct effect of:
1) Putting low wage workers out of work, so they either starve to death, depend on family to support them or government to support them
2) Higher rent costs for the people who do work, as more money chases after the same properties
3) Higher costs of any goods and services that depend on low skilled labour, which is a lot
4) Higher taxes to cover the extra people now on welfare
You can't just arbitrarily raise the minimum wage for the sake of social justice. For the same reason rent controls are bad and socialist economies are don't work. Raising wages this way will only make a bad situation worse. There are better ways to fix it.

No. If people want a living wage, they should get a real education and learn to do useful work. The only thing holding the poor back is their own indolent laziness, greed, and selfishness.

Spoiler alert. Humans have no intrinsic values. The only things we as a society truly need are qtbois and alcohol.

Wrong.
There is such a thing as people Doing what they Love To Do for a living.
In fact that's the way it should be. People are supposed to go for the jobs they love to do.
And they should be properly compensated just as well for doing something they hate doing.
Nobody really likes flipping burgers, a small percent of people may like it. And because its a shitty job that means you should be paid as much as anybody else - as compensation for that.

Sure. Why not raise min wage to $100/hr? In your fantasy world, that'd be awesome, no??

I agree for the most part - I don't think it's worth it for most people. There are people for whom it is worth it even if they don't get a career from doing so though. Employment and future income aren't the only values someone might weight when deciding whether to shell out for and attend uni or not.

Please substantiate that.

So first of all, you're full of shit. You would be mad if your boss expected you to do extra shit, while everyone else sat around getting paid the same.
Secondly, regardless of why, it still happens which means it is still a huge problem for the company.

What the fuck do you mean valuing labor? Are you using the word 'value' in the abstract, philosophical sense, or do you mean evaluating the labor to currency in the literal sense? If the latter, that is what we're talking about already. We are valuing it to be less than that of higher level skills. If the former, then you need to reassess your values. Not every chimp with a broom is worth that much, and the people that are aspire to be more. In fact, it's built into our sense of values that those that aspire to be more are valued more, therefore those that aspire to be less are not as valued.

It would at least get rid of the wage loop that Walmart benefits from by being able to hire the poorest workers knowing they will spend their salaries in the store. If people were making more money, sure many of them will do what you said and still shop there but spend their extra money on things that Walmart doesn't sell (which is bad how?) but many more people will be buying goods from all over and taking billions from walmarts rigged economic system and generate that money into smaller businesses.

I actually agree with raising the minimum wage but liberals want too much. I think $9.50-$10.00 is a sweet spot adjusting to adjust with current inflation.
