Payrolls aren't included?No offense, but you're full of shit.
Democrat policies have a huge effect on our lives in a bad way. Look at the price of a burger at Burger King or McDonalds. Why is it fast food costs nearly as much as a dinner at a diner or a restaurant? Answer: Democrat policies have done this.
What effects the price of meals the most:
- $15 minimum wage
- Taxes
- Energy prices
- Governmental regulations
Why is it when you go into Walmart there's 1 or 2 cashiers...but 6 automatic checkout stations? Answer: Democrat policies.
Just one more example of how Democrats and their crazy policies cost jobs.
If you really look at it....the higher cost of living caused by Democrat policies artificially raised the price of everything so that raising the minimum-wage seems like a good idea.
Democrats tell us that we all need a college education to be successful.....but if you look at it...there aren't enough good paying jobs for a person with a Bachelor Degree compared to someone with a skill or trade. The advantage of learning a trade is you don't end up with $120k in college debt and start working at least a couple of years sooner.
The Unintended Consequences Of Raising Minimum Wage To $15
The automated check-out lines at WalMart have nothing to do with liberals. It is a way WalMart can increase profits. Automation is always used to increase profits, and has cost more jobs than unions, overseas labor or taxes combined.
And taxes effect any enterprise. From the top to the bottom, all businesses are taxed. Whether they can qualify for loopholes is the difference between big business and small business.
Fluctuation in energy prices and gov't regulations don't cost enough to effect most businesses.
30% of any business overhead is payrolls.
Never mind the demands by Democrats to provide full benefits including health care.
So the auto-cashier machine is a reaction to government that is overly intrusive.
Payrolls are not included in overhead costs. Now you might argue that is a technicality, I do have a point.
Payrolls are labor costs.
You can pay labor costs or you can pay welfare. While one can argue that automation is the reaction to labor costs, a basic wage is inevitably going to be the reaction to automation.
Bullshit!!!!
I can tell you never ran a successful business..lol.
