Biden to double minimum wage

Higher productivity has not been rewarded by the private sector or the minimum wage would be around eighteen dollars an hour.

When did those minimum wage workers increase their productivity?
They are more productive now due to advances in technology instead of the valuation of the firm.

How did advances in technology make the
floor sweeper, bathroom cleaner or french fry wrangler.....more productive?
 
Specifically, WHY should that be illegal?
Because the minimum wage must be a fixed Standard in a State or Republic. Right wingers are simply disingenuous when decrying raising the minimum wage when they have no problem passing costs to the consumer.

Again you refused to answer the question, WHY do we need a Federal Minimum wage?

Right wingers only make sense in a vacuum of special pleading. Higher paid labor creates more in demand and generates more in tax revenue due to the multiplier effect in every long run equilibrium.

We agree. I support workers' wages increasing due to their increased value to the employer. If they provide no additional value, they merit the same wage they had received. I learned that from that first real job too. How does an employee's value to an employer increase if the employee adds nothing to their value?

Higher productivity, as you know, is due to technology, mechanization, and robots. Try again!

Thank you for agreeing that workers are no more productive, we are relying more and more on technology, mechanization, and robots.
 
After all that fat cat socialism under the Blob, Biden has some real useful present for the populace: An increase of the federal minimum wage by more than 100 %.

Something tells me you have never been a small business owner.
Happy employees are more effective and reliable.

How happy are those employees going to be when a gallon of milk goes up to $7 and a loaf of bread goes up to $6? Or maybe when rent for an apartment goes from $1,350 a month to $2,600 a month?

I hope he does it. The impact will be devastatingly bad. Those who think that minimum wage workers are suddenly going to have double the buying power are either ignorant or stupid.
 
Businesses that can´t afford wages that are sufficient to make a living don´t have a reason to exist, actually.
The minimum wage is a blunt instrument

many low end jobs are simply not worth $15 an hour and the compant whether large or small will not psy them

that means more workers chasing fewer jobs

Know what? Ask your boss to lower your wage.

What is 15 Dollar today? Not that much. People got bills.

If they are unemployed because the only jobs they are qualified for are not worth $15 to the employer how do they pay their bills?

the answer for women is to remain single and have another illigitimate child so she can go on welfare

Well, I don't have a boss but, if I did, he legally wouldn't be able to if my pay were federally mandated.

Aside from that, I have no idea why you thought your comment might qualify as intelligent input...
 
So the employer is going to pack in?
Hopefully not

but they often reduce the number of employees they hire

sometimes that means slower service, sometimes it means automation

but it always means good news for the democrat party

So it is only the others whose income must be very small to maintain the economy, not yours?

Your missing my point completely.

Do you believe the prices of consumer goods (groceries, clothing, auto parts, electronics, etc) will remain the same if the minimum wage is doubled?
