As the thread" Support for Min Wage continues to grow" points out more businesses are recognizing the idiocy of raising the minimum wage as most ignorant people have no idea of the results of this supposedly "good intention" will be increased unemployment of low skilled entry level 16 to 19 year olds!
There is no logical business reason to pay a entry level hamburger flipper when an automated system can replace it now with the cost of a full time
minimum wage at $10.80 per hour reaching $25,000.
A simple automated system costing less then a one time $25,000 cost that will always be on time everyday 24 hours a day can replace that 16 year old.
So rather then fight the ignorance of the people who FEEL that there are tens of millions of people working at minimum wage let's raise the wage.
And watch the unemployment rate of 16 to 19 years climb form current 19.2% to 20 or more %!
Raising unemployment benefits, increasing welfare support, and for what?
These 16 to 19 year olds that were learning how to be on time and entry level skills will no longer have that on the job training... that didn't cost the
government one thin dime! Now these same kids will be going to "trade schools" ??? Right!
