Why do big cities vote Democrat?

[Vegasgiants]

Eh? Kids desperate for jobs go where the jobs are. Once they become affluent there's a steady exodus from those same cites.

In the cities where they can make the most money

It is always more profitable. Every time

You are of course talking out of your ass gain. We have machines that could eliminate millions of jobs but for various reasons they are not yet capable of doing it profitably.

A lower wage worker is screwed either way. Can't live on $15 per hour and will be replaced. Good ole america.

Then learn a skill or a trade so you have something more to offer.

Then the tech is not available



A machine is always more profitable than a person

This argument really gets old, less than 2% of Americans are working for minimum wage.

Available and profitable are not always mutually inclusive.

I await your evidence

7 million people

Out of a population of over 330,000,000 people. Minimum wage jobs are "entry level" jobs, not "career jobs.

How many people earn the federal minimum wage?​

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 1.6 million workers, or 1.9% of all hourly paid, non-self-employed workers, earned wages at or below the federal minimum wage in 2019. That year, 82.3 million people were paid hourly rates, making up 58.1% of all wage and salary workers in the United States.

Minimum wage in America: How many people are earning $7.25 an hour?

In 2022, 1.02 million hourly workers —1.3% of all hourly workers — earned at or below the federal minimum wage. That’s the lowest number since data collection began in 1979.

I'm in favor if one is working full time for less than 40 grand they get assistance.

7 million people according to you

And this means or should mean what to me? Whatever that number is it's under 2% of the work force and those are "entry level" jobs mostly for those with no experience not career jobs.

Map created by Magog the Ogre via Wikimedia The map above shows the county level and vote share results of the 2020 US Presidential Election. The darker the blue the more a county went for Joe Biden and the darker the red the more the county went for Donald Trump. You can see how it compares to...

You really aren't very bright.

Exactly, this is what they don't seem to understand. It is blue areas in red states that are poor. Same goes across the nation really, with a few exceptions.

Only subsidize poverty if you want more of it.

There's no "right" to any minimum level of income in this country.

This is why it is dangerous to have more takers than producers. When we reach a point that there's a high enough number of those with a negative tax liability over 50% they will vote to kill and eat the golden goose.

 

[Big Bend Texas]

So what?

Well since it seems to mean so much to you I was hoping you'd explain to us why it's so important.

And this means or should mean what to me?

Hence the question.

Then some children would starve to death

Or the young kids flocking to the cities after college

Kids are young, naive and like to party. Haven't you heard?

Because they need higher wages to live on
