Does AOC know $15 minimum wage in states like Mississippi will put people out of work?

[Cecilie1200]

But of course those favoring the $15/hr nationally are also truly ignorant believing one size fits all.

Well, that is what the minimum wage is. The minimum wage is currently $7.25 an hour. It needs to be raised to at least $12 dollars an hour even in low cost living places like Mississippi and Tennessee.

Long overdue

It needs to go to $15 to compensate for a decade without an increase

$15 dollars might be a little high in places like Mississippi and Tennessee, but nearly every where else, it would fit like a glove. $12 dollars is not going to hurt anything in Mississippi except for people who are poor managers of business. A minimum wage as a high as $15 dollars might be ok for Mississippi too.

Sorry, are you actually demanding that we treat this like a serious, incisive commentary to rebut? "It's not going to hurt anything, because I say so!" Really? That's it? That's all you've got? You have decided that these wages are good, and that's it?

 

[Cecilie1200]

AOC is a stupid shit liberal I'm surprised she can operate a toothbrush.

tRump fucks Truck Drivers

Trump promised to put 'American truckers first.' Drivers say he hasn't delivered.

AOC is that you?

No, unlike you, I'm an AMERICA that cares about AMERICANS. You're a commie Putin salad tosser.

You're an AMERICA that cares about AMERICANS? Dang, we can see your problem.

I'd be mightily obliged if these self-aggrandizing microbrain leftists would stop "caring" about me and expecting a Nobel fucking Peace Prize for getting their emotion all over me.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Fifteen bucks for an hour of someone’s life?

Seems pretty cheap to me.

Well keep that thought as this image will replace that teenager who is getting more than just a paycheck working at that minimum wage job.

Whether the minimum wage is $7 dollars or $15 dollars won't make any difference in if or when a company introduces a robot or computer to take over someone's job.

With the unemployment rate at 3.6%, the robots are not helping any at this point. Massive labor shortages all over the place!

So your fiendishly clever plan is to put companies out of business and their employees out of work?

Name one company that went "out of business" because they paid their employees to much money.

Off the top of my head, I can't, because REAL business owners - unlike you - aren't stupid enough to set wages based on what they "feelz" people should get, rather than what their job is actually worth to the employer.

A Heritage Foundation analysis from 2016 estimated that a $15 federal minimum wage would wipe out 7 million jobs. Hardest hit would be workers, businesses, and economies in areas with low costs of living. (like Mississippi where cost of living is 87% of USA standard.
Mississippi cost of living is 87.8% Mississippi Cost of Living

Liberal activists demand a “living wage,” but the truth is that only a tiny handful of hourly wage workers make the minimum wage or less (4 percent), according to the Employment Policies Institute. On the contrary, a whopping 44 percent of hourly workers currently earn at or below the proposed $15 minimum wage.

Now consider what the $15 minimum wage would do.

For a restaurant that employs 10 minimum wage workers, a $15 minimum wage hike would cost them about $170,000 per year. If the restaurant currently earns profit margins of 5 percent, it would have to increase sales by $3.5 million per year, or an extra $67,000 every week.

But that is not realistic. The likely scenario is that they’ll either have to cut working hours or fire some workers altogether. Either way, most people are worse off than before.

Not to worry.

If it's only a tiny handful, as you say here, then we need not worry. The impact will not prove statistically significant.

No, she doesn't know. And neither do most leftist tard voters. For them their bubble is life, nothing outside that bubble is important.

 

[Kondor3]

There's an easy way out of all this regional cost-of-living hor$e$hit...

If the Feds are bound-and-determined to raise the Minimum Wager, then...

Compute a low-end national baseline for Minimum Wage, in some low cost-of-living region or another, then...

Apply the Federal OPM Locality Pay tables, with their percentage-increases by region vs. a national baseline...

For example...

* the national baseline = $12.00 per hour minimum wage
* the regional multiplier from OPM = 1.27
* the regional minimum wage = $15.24 ( 12.00 x 1.27 )

Puts more money in the pockets of worker bees living in high cost-of-living regions...

Puts a proportionally equal amount of money in the pockets of worker bees who live in lower cost-of-living areas...

Not exactly rocket science, and already in-play with respect to the pay for a couple of million Feds.

Yeah they ain't gonna pay those illegals fifteen an hour when they can pay them less than eight now them capitalist must live in big mansions and fly jet planes.
Keeping wages low and cost of living high is how the robber barons make their living.

How about we just offer them a trip all expenses paid, back to their home country? They are here illegally! Then they can worry about the minimum wage in their shithole!

As the economy gets better, wages go up......as we are now seeing...... putting people out of work because of left wing policies is the way left wingers get rich and accumulate power......making people poor is the bread and butter of left wing democrats.

The rich are not playing politics they influence politics to keep wages low by hiring the illegals and the visa workers...Corporations donate to both sides of the political isle to get what they want. Your stupid partisan dichotomy plays right into their hands because they can exploit the masses with issues made to split us apart.
Apple is a trillion dollar company someone had to work for very low wages to make that happen. When will you people stop supporting these companies that exploit workers in poor nations and leave US citizens with less jobs?
There should be no mansions or billionaires while the majority suffer without.

Which side of the island do you inhabit? Libtardia?

BTW, Apple is paying Chinese slave labor, not illegals or Americans!

I saw a sign this week offering new workers at White Castle here in KY $12.00 to start. Pretty soon the fast food industry is going to look very inviting for low skilled people to make a lot of money.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Fifteen dollars an hour is not a lot of money even by Mississippi terms.

I earned that twenty years ago and could barely support my family on it.

You are not supposed to support a family on minimum wage. You were likely just lousy with money as most libtards tend to be.
