Business responds to $15 minimum wage demands

Quasi-related philosophy - An example of capitalist ethics and morals when it comes to wages, including the worst wages.



American's are biased, and frankly more than a little uneducated when it comes to this subject. In the grander scope of the world, rather than the biased American view, a lot of businesses actually put money where it is /most/ needed - and these days it's not "best spent" on American workers, but rather in third world countries where it can do the most for the most people. But of course the left will never admit to that, they're too outraged by their biased (spoiled) lifestyles to get that; socialism, even the most "innocent" "democratic" type inherently breeds selfishness and facts such as those discussed in the video make that blatantly apparent.

I happen to disagree with the above in principle, not based upon its "ethics" (which I understand and can agree with,) but rather because I'm more of a "national" capitalist rather than a "pure" or "global" capitalist - aka I tend to weight my opinions to the benefit of the nation rather than the benefit of the planet/all humanity. I also tend to weight the benefit of the nation over the benefit of the individual - AKA while I believe it is true that a minimum wage of $15/h is/would be beneficial to the individual American, I do not believe it is/would be beneficial to the nation as a whole; in fact I think it would be harmful to the nation.

In any event, I think it's on the nations government to protect their workers, and if they allow such things as sweat shops and child labor then they have obviously decided that such things "benefit's" outweigh the "presumed risks" (that we American's might attribute to it.) Certainly the workers themselves don't have issue with it, nor does their government, and by all accounts it's beneficial to both sides - which is in itself the root of capitalism's worth to societies.

/——/ No one supports sweat shops and child labor except liberals who buy their Apple phones and PCs from China on the cheap.

/----/ Agreed. One must constantly improve oneself in order to have marketable skills to earn a "livable wage."

Some on the left prefer an, "easier standard". A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage beats the cost of social services; it really is that simple.

/----/ Try and live in a Blue State on $15 an hour. BTW, get an education and some skills.
Best Jobs That Don't Require a College Degree

/——/ When I Post a link about great jobs that don’t require a college education, a Prog marked it funny. I guess she thinks a dead end minimum wage job is the best she can hope for.

the right wing claims a minimum wage job is only temporary. social services should cost less than the minimum wage. thus, a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.

and, if you want to lower costs, end the drug war.

/——/ Yes minimum wage jobs existed to give teens work experience and the ability to earn some money. The employers got cheap labor that they could teach basic job skills to like being punctual, responsible and completing tasks correctly. They were never intended to be lifetime careers. Libs turned it into a political football for public educated morons with poor education and lack of motivation. Part of the permanent underclass.

lol. so what; the new minimum wage should be fifteen dollar an hour.

I say that we're looking at it the wrong way in a global ethical standpoint.

/——-/ So what. The minimum wage should be abolished to let the free market determine wages.

Naw. They can chose between one job or another, they chose the sweat shop. Why do /you/ think that you can better make that individual and personal choice for them?

(Also, I suspect you didn't watch the video.)

so should corporate welfare.

Where is the Outrage over Corporate Welfare? Follow The Money

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

you're either worth the money you are paid or you are not.

ain't much middle ground in that. if not, something else will be found for long term savings.

period.

What are the costs of 70% unemployment rates? How does cash circulate without payrolls and wages and keep the system moving and growing? Customers are necessary, and disposable incomes.

dunno. what is the cost of letting people with no ambition in life get more than a paramedic for asking if you want fries with that?

Yes, I know right wingers can never answer real questions, they have to impose silly definitions and fantasy anecdotes and pretend they're responses. So, you and the 10 or so 'productive' people out of the U.S. population, according to the legends in your own minds, will carry the economy into the future. Sure, sure you will. And, you will shit gold turds, and cure cancer, too. lol

Can I ask you a very simple question?

I can't name another poster on this forum like you. The vicious attitude combined with a complete dismissal of anything with which you disagree is unmatched.

How did you wind up to be so stupid and so angry at the same time?

Are you stupid because you are angry, or angry because you are stupid?

Another unhappy troll makes the usual sniveling post. The only angry tards here are you and the other kids who can't handle anybody disagreeing with their memorized rubbish, and revert to ad homs, whining, and other silliness as responses. lol go cry in some 'safe space' with the other Snowflakes.

It seems to me that you are doing the sniveling and trolling.
