You just simply against MW.
I'm against it because it's bad economics.
Well...... so far all I heard is an opinion of bad here and there. I asked a very simple question. MW increase has started about 5 years ago here and there. So I’m asking the same question again.
Name me any enterprise any business categories any McDonald’s that went out business because of MW increase?
Please ANYBODY.
Minimum wage impacts businesses differently.
McDonald's sells 1000 hamburgers a day, 1200 french fires, 1600 beverages. But Bob at Bob's hardware doesn't sell 400 boxes of nails or screws every day. So you won't see any noticeable price increases at McDonald's, but you will at Bob's.
If your employer gives you a dollar an hour raise, it costs your employer more than that dollar because of associated expenses. A huge increase like nearly doubling it would drive people out of business because of that reason.
The worst part is that a huge minimum wage increase causes a domino effect. If you got out of high school and got a job at a manufacturer of some sort, and started out at $9.00 an hour, eventually you will make $15.00 an hour in a couple of years. All of a sudden, you find yourself back at minimum wage because of some Democrat politicians. Are you going to continue doing your job at minimum wage? Of course not. You are going to demand to be paid at least five bucks an hour over minimum. Okay, fine. But then what about the guy at your shop who's been there much longer and is making $20.00 an hour?
When it comes to a full circle, the minimum wage worker finds himself in the exact same position he was in before the hike because now everything else costs more. The only people that made out were the politicians because now you are getting taxed at a higher rate. That's the only reason they are behind it.

I've never seen a time harder for young people to go out on their own. No wonder more and more have to move back in with their parents.
Kids don't stay with their parents as a last resort, they do it as an option. The big thing for nearly the last ten years is to rent. Younger people these days don't want any responsibilities, and that includes the responsibilities that come with owning a house.
Like I mentioned several times.
Kids now are different compared from a long time ago.
What happened is parents work hard to give their best of everything to their siblings. The siblings end up lazy and spoiled.
I’ve seen this in all races in different cultures and categories. Attitudes sucks. I’ve also witnessed this in other countries.
The legalization of marijuana will make this worse.
What really happened throughout the years is that kids and parents became more like friends. In my teen years, there was what was called a Generation Gap. We loved our parents, but they were not our friends. They had rules and we followed them. Even if you lived at home after 18, you still had to be home by a specific time, you still couldn't smoke cigarettes or pot in the house, you still had to have a job and pay board.
Several years ago my niece moved her boyfriend into her mom's home. They were not even engaged. The guy was a lowlife who worked, but made minimum wage and had no intent to better himself. Why should he? My sister gave into my niece and he lived in a beautiful home with a wooded backyard. He didn't move until my sister asked him to cleanup his room, and he got enraged. He and my niece then moved into her fathers home, and the same thing!
See.......this would have never happened when I was young. I couldn't have a girlfriend sleep over for a night yet alone move her into my parents house. This is why we strived for independence and freedom. We wanted to have our parties, stay out as late as we wanted, have girlfriends over and even spend the night, smoke pot and drink until 2:00 am if we desired.
Today, kids do all that shit in their parents house.

What you described isn't a generation gap, it's more like parents enforcing rules, and yeah, while my Grandparents were pretty strict, there were foster families I was in that let me run pretty much wild.
For future reference, here is what the generation gap is..................
Definition of GENERATION GAP
generation gap
noun
Definition of generation gap
: the differences in opinions, values, etc., between younger people and older people
And, when older people and younger people actually decide to communicate and try to understand each other, that is when the generation gap disappears, and both understand why the rules are there.
Which is pretty much what I said. The differences between parents and children were vast. When I was in my 20's, most of my friends moved the hell out of the house. I know people of my age that were thrown out of the house. They didn't even have plans on where to live. The only exception to that were parents who were supporting their kids in college.
Today kids live with their parents well into their 30's and sometimes longer. My nephew is a good example. He was married and renting an apartment from my father. They lived there for several years. When they broke up, he decided to move out of the apartment and back with his mother. It's not that he couldn't afford to live on his own, but he wanted to as an option so he could repay the loans for his Masters degree.
Other cases kids simply don't want to work, and the parents just let them live there. I have a friend who is caught up in a terrible situation. Her husband left her with three kids, one of them an adult. He was the breadwinner of the family, and now she's losing the house.
She works, but doesn't make nearly the money he did when he supported the family. She was here about six months ago, and told me her 19 year old son just sits home all day long playing video games; never had a job since he graduated high school over a year ago.
If he was forced to work and contribute to the family income, they probably could save the house, but he simply doesn't want to work. Wherever they end up after the foreclosure, he's likely going to be with her still sitting wherever they move to and play video games.
Again, never would have happened in my generation.

Minimum wage impacts businesses differently.
McDonald's sells 1000 hamburgers a day, 1200 french fires, 1600 beverages. But Bob at Bob's hardware doesn't sell 400 boxes of nails or screws every day. So you won't see any noticeable price increases at McDonald's, but you will at Bob's.
***1. If your employer gives you a dollar an hour raise, it costs your employer more than that dollar because of associated expenses. A huge increase like nearly doubling it would drive people out of business because of that reason.
***2... The worst part is that a huge minimum wage increase causes a domino effect. If you got out of high school and got a job at a manufacturer of some sort, and started out at $9.00 an hour, eventually you will make $15.00 an hour in a couple of years. All of a sudden, you find yourself back at minimum wage because of some Democrat politicians. Are you going to continue doing your job at minimum wage? Of course not. You are going to demand to be paid at least five bucks an hour over minimum. Okay, fine. But then what about the guy at your shop who's been there much longer and is making $20.00 an hour?

Agree. However.
1. McDonald’s can make up the difference easily.
2. Business like Bobs hardware as your example will always raise prices. Most or all businesses raise prices every year. That’s a fact. Even restaurants.
3. Businesses give regular increases to their employees. That’s a fact.

Yeah, and notice in this article it also states: "Higher minimum wages also reduce the rate at which new restaurants open by 4-6 percent per $1 increase in the minimum, the study found." So not only are businesses closing, startups are severely affected. It is a double whammy.

Not only does it come full circle...
making more but with higher prices, no different than before
But, when you make more, you get back less in taxes
and many will lose or have government benefits reduced...
which is fine with me anyway
There needs to be a increase in tax revenue
to compensate for the flood of immigrants into the country
How the hell anyone is ok with, paying more, getting less
so others could have more is fucking beyond me
Whats going to happen when the next recession hits....
Because it will
Banks, credit cards, car loans are operating on
disposable income from immigrants
who rely on government assistance
When that segment of the population starts defaulting
it’s going to turn into a bigger financial mess than the last
There should be a head tax on all Hispanic and the like
Whether it be Mexican, Honduran, Guatemalan
There should be a central fund created to offset the costs
of schooling, feeding, housing and providing healthcare
for the flood of Central and Latin America immigrants
paid for and funded by them exclusively
I do not understand how people are that fucking dense
when it comes to simple, basic math
When you are doling out funds for 500 people
that only 100 people have contributed to
and none of which are of the 500....WTF

I already pointed out how McDonald's will make up the difference, and that is a "slight' price increase on each of the thousands of items they sell a day. Bob can't do that.
Pricewise, Bob is already at a disadvantage with places like Home Depot, Lowes, and the internet. About 15 years ago one of our local hardware stores announced they were closing down. I spoke with the owner who placed the cause on a new Home Depot that opened up about ten miles away from his store. Lost for the future, he was questioning me about a career in trucking.
It was a wonderful store. Family owned and operated. They were even open all day Sunday.
At the time, I was making a delivery to a local company where I knew some of the workers from the area. One of them approached me about the closing of the hardware store, and how terrible it was. With that comment, I asked him "out of the last five times you purchased hardware, where did you go, to our local hardware store or Home Depot?" He bowed his head and said "Home Depot." I responded by saying "That's why he's closing up!"
So now Bob not only has to be competitive with super stores and the internet, he now has to deal with a huge minimum wage increase on top of that. How can he raise his prices anymore than he already has without putting himself out of business?
