Just like we donate when any costs increase
Businesses deal with cost increases of raw materials, energy, taxes, insurance, executive pay......the market adjusts
But try to increase the pay of the lowest paid worker and conservatives threaten the end of the world

Well Since you have so much damn money you wouldn't mind me moving in with you now would you?

Listen, if you seriously don't believe there will be any negative repercussions from raising the minimum wage, why settle for something as low as $15/hr. I mean, that's better than ten, but it's still not much. Why not make everyone rich? Why not $200/hr? I'd seriously like to hear your answer. If I saw it the way you do, I sure as fuck wouldn't dick around with $15/hr.
Nothing but anecdotes?When I was working a minimum wage job, I realized what a shit job it was, and decided that it wasn't created for those who wanted to succeed in life. I got skills that enabled me to make over $70,000 a year tax free, instead of being a burger flipper at $2.10 an hour. Only dumbasses would take minimum wage because they are too stupid to try to better themselves, and then demand welfare on top of it.House Democrats plan to push for $15 federal minimum wage
If you work full-time, you should be able to support your family. its called the American dream!
No kidding, Democrats want to raise wages and create more jobs....what could possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, your hours will get cut, but wait, they'll need more employees. Great plan dumbass, but think of all the free time you'll have to find a second job.
Frankly the ACA signaled that they KNEW it was going to hurt the economy and jobs. The signal was lowering the threshold o of insurance qualification to having worked 30 hours in a week.
That's true, not quite sure how that would affect minimum wage though. So someone working 30 hrs at $10/week would end up working 20 hrs at $15/week....plenty of free time to get a second job.
No such thing exists in the US or has been seriously proposed. Unemployment compensation is only available to workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own and then only for a limited time. What you are talking about is not unemployment insurance but welfare, and today, neither party supports welfare for people who simply don't want to work.Unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed.So you are saying you'd prefer they had no jobs and depended entirely on social services.we don't want the cost of low wage jobs that have to be subsidized through social services, regardless.The $15 minimum wage is called a political gesture that will incentivize employers to replace low skilled workers faster with smart machines. The only people it will help are the Democratic politicians who campaign for it.House Democrats plan to push for $15 federal minimum wage

You are just dumb as a rock.Capitalism has a Natural rate of unemployment, regardless. This is a social dilemma that involves macro economics, not micro economics.If low skilled workers are unhappy with their wages, they should sign up for courses that will give them higher paying skills and then they won't have to sign up for social services.so what; Persons should not have to sign up for social services on the minimum wage. That is the whole reason for Working for a living.If the minimum wage is set low enough, it will effect nothing, but if it causes employers to pay more for low skilled workers and smart machines are available to do the job for less, these workers will be replaced. It would be bad business not to do that.Automation has been happening for 50 years.

Unlike the GOP 60+ fake repeals of Obamacare all those years, though, the Dems are NOT pretending. If they ever get full power, they will actually carry through on their promise.
why is that with part-time help being "normal"?If the Dems push such a bill, they know it will never make it past the Republican Senate.House Democrats plan to push for $15 federal minimum wage

And they will kill summer jobs for high school students in the process.

A Red State Raises Its Workers' Minimum Wage to $15
In one of the most surprising legislative twists in state government this year, North Carolina became the first state to implement -- and the first red state to approve -- an increase in the minimum wage for state workers to $15 an hour, or $31,200 a year.
Deepening the intrigue, the state's Republican-controlled legislature achieved this practically-overnight minimum-wage hike with no formal testimony or hearings, and with little support from Democratic legislators or the state's Democratic governor...
Your question that "nobody can answer" has been answered for generations. When minimum wages increase, there is upward pressure to increase other low skilled wages as well
The solution is......the market adjusts
It always has
The world does not come to an end, businesses do not go belly up
Well, fine. I'll answer for them. The reason they won't advocate for making the minimum wage significantly high is that they are lying when they say it has no negative repercussions. They know damned well that it does, and they know that cranking it up to something worthwhile would have a devastating effect on our economy.Listen, if you seriously don't believe there will be any negative repercussions from raising the minimum wage, why settle for something as low as $15/hr. I mean, that's better than ten, but it's still not much. Why not make everyone rich? Why not $200/hr? I'd seriously like to hear your answer. If I saw it the way you do, I sure as fuck wouldn't dick around with $15/hr.
