Right wingers keep claiming the pandemic is nothing to be concerned about but are "Big Chickens" by not abolishing your right wing alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror. The 1918 pandemic killed more people that WWI. Stop wasting taxpayers' money!Which, again, is because there are no laws mandating that someone else must give that money to Elon Musk.
Maybe you should be taking notes, so that I don't have to keep repeating myself.

There was nothing about what I posted in there.In Denmark when you work at McDonalds you get 22€ an hour and 6 weeks paid vacation and other benefits. It could be done in the US too. The reason it is not is greed.
Do you really believe that Americans would all agree to pay over 50% in federal taxes? Not likely.
9 Myths About Denmark DESTROYED
By H. Roland J. on APRIL 8, 2016
Myth #1: Danes get 90% of their old salary for 2 years when they become unemployed.
That does sound good, doesn’t it? Well, if you believe this myth I have some alien artifacts to sell you. Of course the danish government doesn’t give anyone more than anyone else – everyone is equal, of course – and while some people actually can get up to 90% of their former salary, there are a lot of things preventing this – and it is a private transaction between the unemployed and his “A-Kasse”.
Myth #2: Denmark spends far less on Healthcare than the US
Actually, yes. Our underpaid nurses, poor quality healthcare and long waitinglists for surgery is actually far less expensive than the american solution. It’s true. Finally a truth; danish healthcare is in fact cheaper than the american equalent. Yay, Denmark!
The fact it’s worthless to the patient shouldn’t matter. People receiving poor healthcare and being forced to pay for it and not able to take another alternative shouldn’t matter because it’s cheaper! It worked so well in the Soviet Union, didn’t it?
Please note the sarcasm.
Myth #5: Denmark pays students money to study
Yup, everyone pays for students, but less than Kontanthjælp (wellfare). Some sites cite $900, but the actual amount depends on your parent’s income, where you live and how old you are. It also depends on what you’re studying and what semester you’re doing.
If you’re becoming an academic, sure, you get up to $900 per month from the government. It’s called SU – short for Statens Uddannelsesstøtte, which translates into “Government Educationsupport” – but only if you’re not living at home with your parents and are over a certain age.
[...]
Besides, no one can make a living with an income of only $900 in Denmark. Most take a huge loan on the side and a job to make ends meet and those who choose this way of life don’t need the extra money everyone else is paying for over their taxes.
The SU is not free – it’s paid for by everyone else.
Myth #6: Denmark has the highest per capita income in the world
Of course we do! Whenever we make a Krone we give half to the government, so sure; we make the most money because we can only keep half, and have to give a fifth of the remaining income whenever we spend the money we get to keep. You better fucking believe we demand a ridiculous income since we don’t get to keep most of it!
Everything in Denmark is taxed, even the fucking taxes are taxed!
So yeah, it’s true we are highly paid but we don’t get the money; our government takes most of it and demands we’re happy about it! If an American company wanted to employ me as a writer they would have to pay me around twice as much as they would an American writer, because I have taxes to pay!
Myth #7: Denmark has one of the lowest poverty rates in the world
Sure, but we are also the least likely to be charitable through voluntary means because we feel we have already paid enough for charity. We don’t do charity because we have already paid for everyone else.
[...]
Myth #9: Paid family leave for 52 weeks
Yes, the danish government demands that companies still pay for a women who leaves their company for a year to stay at home with her child. They start paying before she has given birth and then keep paying for her and the employee who assumes her position in the company during her leave. The government demands this of the company and will in some cases help pay for her, but it’s still expensive for the company, who loses their employee for a year or so and of course have to replace her during this period.
Imagine that you have an employee you’re very happy with and then she get’s pregnant. She leaves your company and you still have to pay her salaray while she’s away for a year. You have to find a new employee to take her place and pay that employee as well. You’re paying for 1½ employee for the same work!
Fair? Hell no, but that is of no concern in your average social democraZy. It’s not like you have to think before you plan a family and you can’t fire or even not hire a woman because she might end up costing you 1½ salaries. You cannot fire her for being pregnant nor can you ask “do you intend to have a child in the near future” during the job interview.
Nothing in a Social DemocraZy structure is fair nor is it efficient. The things that actually work and make sense are created and run by private interests and the things that do not are run by the government. If you’re actually a believer in socialism you should enact a lot of these things but only with other socialists of similar beliefs and not force other people to be part of it.
And stop lying and twisting the truth. You might believe in these lies and myths, but reality is very, very different. I actually live in your dreamworld and believe me; it’s not what it’s cracked up to be for everyone else.
If you want social democraZy in your government I truly believe your either a fool or actually evil.

And why is that preferable?
I'm pretty sure you'll keep dodging, so I'll answer for you. It's "preferable" because, without time to adjust, the shock of these "legal modifications" would create unemployment and business failures. Giving the market time to adjust to the new, mandated minimum values will avoid that. The markets will rebalance, such that the new minimum labor value is the base and all relative values adjust around it. Of course, this defeats the purpose, leaving minimum wage earners with the same relative income value they had before the adjustments, but it lets politicians pretend that they did something useful to help out the poor.
I don't doubt or disagree with NYC or other urban areas, esp progressive ones, logically wanting the raise. Or the need of workers.
Why do you believe what you do? It seems more like right wing propaganda than sound reasoning. There would be no perceived need for any statutory minimum wage if wages had kept up with inflation to begin with.I don't doubt or disagree with NYC or other urban areas, esp progressive ones, logically wanting the raise.

There is nothing "logical" about minimum wages. Why is it legal to donate your time if you can't work for less than some arbitrary "minimum wage"? Pure stupidity and covetousness, a sin.

Why does it not seem more likely that some Capitalists prefer to transfer the cost of their employees on to the public sector instead of their consumers merely for bottom line purposes?
I'm more a centrist than liberal. But the logical support for a MW (level is another question) is that the reality is there is NO free market between capital and at least unskilled workers because workers don't have bargaining power sufficient to compete with capital. And setting a minimum level, requires capital to pay a higher wage to slightly more skilled.I don't doubt or disagree with NYC or other urban areas, esp progressive ones, logically wanting the raise.

I've never heard a liberal address this - probably because it gets right to the corrupt core of MW. Essentially it's an anticompetitive measure to prevent competition in the labor market.

And.... eventually everyone will make minimum wageSo what? Wages merely need outpace inflation.You know, in the post you partially quoted I said that businesses may try to raise prices but will fail in the face of lower priced competition.
Businesses may try to pass on higher costs but, as has been demonstrated so many times in the airline industry, unless everyone raises their prices, no one can.
Since everyone's cost increases, everyone has to raise their prices.
whose fault is that, Cleetus? The problem with "Small Town USA" is you guys are happy in your inbred misery.
Frankly, you could put a bunch of office "Professionals" in a drive through, and they wouldn't be able to keep up. That's why I love the show "Undercover boss", when they put the guy in charge in a working level position, and he's often incompetent.
