As predicted - Study shows Seattle $15 min wage result is less hours and 5000 less jobs

[Wyatt earp]

Way to funny, it was Union's and Democrats that caused Detroit it's financial problems ...

It wasn't unions that caused China to pay its workers $20/day. It wasn't unions that caused car companies to produce gas-guzzling SUV's while the market was leaning toward fuel efficiency. It wasn't unions that caused car companies to spend billions on advertising, marketing, and endorsements. It wasn't unions that did any of that.

You are a child...we didn't have SUVs in the 1970~1980s

.

SUV were a branch from these.

You post pictures of hummers?

Hell the only reason why they started to sell them to the public was because of Arnold Schwarzenegger

No you tried to say that Republicans controlled all 3 branches from 2003 till 2007...that was a lie...

NO, it's the truth and you're fucking wrong. I don't understand how you can see the 2006 (not 2005 you stupid fuckwad) Mid-term election results and not understand those numbers. What is your fucking problem? Is this just an ego thing or what?

You wanted to post that Democrats had nothing to do with the Bible bursting ..that was a lie

They didn't . The subprime bubble was inflated by private-label, non-GSE backed subprimes issued beginning in 2004 that went into delinquency beginning mid-2006. They inflated the bubble because Bush and the Conservatives ceased enforcement of lending standards for subprimes, beginning in 2004. Democrats had nothing to do with that.

You wanted to post that the Republicans caused Detroit to fail..that was a lie.

Of course they caused it to fail. Nixon was the one who opened relations with China and all the Conservatives, from Ford to Buckley to Kemp to Reagan encouraged US businesses to outsource to China. In fact, the Conservative nominee for VP in 1996 called himself "the King of Outsourcing".

You want to post that the Republicans caused jobs to be out sorced over seas that was a lie

See above. Your own nominee in 1996 called himself "The King of Outsourcing". It was Bush, not Clinton, who granted China MFN status.

 

[The Derp]

Not a car guy I see..has everything to do with mileage, dependability.. Btw how many of those Jap cars from the 1970s are on the road today?.

Engineering does have everything to do with mileage and dependability. Does the UAW have engineers as members? No. So what the fuck are you even talking about?

Bottom line it was the consumers who wanted cheap shit from Japan and Asia..and it shows how young you are..you don't even have a clue about the Japanese invasion.. Chinas goods came much much later.

Yeah, I remembered that. But the Ford Broncos were the SUV"s of the 70's. Wagoneers were somewhat like the SUV / Station wagon. And jeeps and Dune Buggies were for rough terrains like the SUV are meant for.

They didn't want it because it came from Japan and Asia, they wanted it because it was cheap. And it was cheap because of different labor standards over there than over here. Still, without Nixon unfreezing relations with China, and without Conservatives promoting outsourcing, there would not have been this practice at all.

You are a child...we didn't have SUVs in the 1970~1980s.

And the auto industry was still viable then. I'm talking about the 90's and 00's, as the market was leaning towards fuel efficiency and hybrids, but American companies were producing gas-guzzling SUVs.

They were leaning towards fuel efficiency in the 1970s and 1980s..not the 90s or early 00s...gas didn't become a regular thing over $2 bucks a gallon till Obama became president.

Japan was making corollas when we were making pintos. We had poor design and engineering.

My first new car was a 72 VW Beetle. There was no comparison in quality between it and a Ford Pinto.

No such thing as a bad car, a poorly put together car is a different matter...

Sloppy work = crappy product.

Quit spinning it...

The Japanese invasion came first.the Chinese invasion came when you were around 4 years old in the late 1990s

Snowflakes must sleep through their economics classes.

If there is a forced wage increase without a commensurate increase in revenue, jobs and/or hours will be cut.

Here you go, snowflakes, from your bible.

How a Rising Minimum Wage Affects Jobs in Seattle

If I were a Republican, I would worry about the 13 Red States that are covered by Appalachia.

 

[ColonelAngus]

If you are over 20 years old and you are earning minimum wage at a full time job, you are a fucking loser.


...just putting that out there.

The pinto could have been made in Japan and still would have been ugly, insufficient and unsafe. Poor design and engineering.

The Corolla was rated at 31 mpg combined and the Pinto 25 mpg combined. That is engineering. Also the pinto would blow up in a rear collision. Again, engineering.

 

[Brain357]

Engineering:
This car was Ford's answer to the entry level cars released by American Motors (the Gremlin) and General Motors (Chevrolet Vega). The car was available from 1971 through 1980. Its downfall was due to a design flaw which put the gas tank in the rear of the car near the bumper. Due to the location, the tank would often blow up as a result of a simple fender bender.

 

[P@triot]

So as I expected, after opening the link P@triot is using as his hysterical source, we come to find that the list of states that supposedly have more welfare recipients than employed workers isn't even sourced!

Not sourced? You mean like everything you state in your posts? And oh yeah - who provided that link, snowflake? That's right - your fellow progressives.... jillian! So now you're claiming that it is the progressives on this board spreading disinformation. No surprise though.

 

[P@triot]

Yeah, it had nothing to do with the shitty cars they were turning out as compared to the Japanese and Germans.

The city of Detroit doesn't make automobiles, genius. It was the idiotic polices of the Democrats which ran Detroit into the ground - not GM, Ford, and Chrysler.

[P@triot]

Watching progressives nervously hop around trying to find a "boogeyman" to blame the failures of their ideology on is freaking hilarious.

Dumbocrat: "It wasn't left-wing policy that collapsed Detroit! It was uh....uh.....uh....GM, Ford and Chrysler! They made shitty cars"
Rational Person: "Really? I'm sure all of those left-wing UAW line assembly workers would love to hear you blame them for the demise of Detroit".
Dumbocrat: "Well....uh...it wasn't them. It was uh....uh.....uh....GM, Ford and Chrysler executives! Yeah. Yeah. It was the executives!"
Rational Person: "Really? But the executives don't make automobiles".
Dumbocrat: "Well....uh...it was...uh....uh.....uh....the engineers! Yeah. Yeah. It was the engineers!"
Rational Person: "Really? So thousands of engineers and three different companies all rolled out hundreds of lines of automobiles that all 'sucked'?"
Dumbocrat: "Well....uh...it was uh....uh.....uh....the Republicans! Yeah. Yeah...the Republicans! Once we collapsed entire cities and economies, Republicans were brought in to clean up our mess and they are to blame!"
Rational Person: "Really?"

Seriously man....these fucking left-wing lunatics are hilarious. They collapse every city, state, and nation that they ever touch and yet they continue to claim it wasn't them. Their idiocy reminds me of that classic Eddie Murphy set from Raw...
