Gee, wonder how long it will take prices to go up again once this is approved? Maybe I learned it wrong, but weren’t “minimum wage jobs” meant to be stepping stones to better paying jobs once you gained further skills and/or experience?IMO one thing I think a lot of folks miss is that when minimum wage is $20-$25 an hour for unskilled labor, EVERYTHING goes up…because everyone people that sell things in those areas (housing, food, utilities, etc.) KNOW that folks have more money to spend.
When more disposable dollars enter the economy, prices go up. That’s why we get so frustrated when Uncle Sugar just prints more cash to ”fix” problems.
if this were to pass into law, in NY state.......say "hello" to broadway shows costing like $1,000 per person.Gee, wonder how long it will take prices to go up again once this is approved?

I hope it does. They need that "warmth of collectivism" shoved down their throats.if this were to pass into law, in NY state.......say "hello" to broadway shows costing like $1,000 per person.
say "hello" to an incredible and traditional NY deli sandwich costing $200.
say "hello" to a taxi ride with the rates starting at $200 per 1/4 mile
fools, absolute fools
yes, minimum wage was "set up" to guarantee a wage across the board that was fair for all workers...not this...one job paid 50¢ per hour or that job paying $1.00 an hour...
all "low end jobs" were equal...
then too, the vast majority of "minimum wage jobs" were for the working housewife that needed extra money, or the H.S. kid for summer money, or the college kids for books, pizza and such...
it was NEVER to be for a family to live on...
that's the way IT ALWAYS WAS....!!!
BUT....
there are thousands of people, NO education, NO job training, and dare i say...IMMIGRANTS taking up those jobs WITH families, and as such....THEY DARE to DEMAND higher wages...??
they should be KISSING the ground they walk on
if another "blue wave" hits in 2028...???
yup.......THEY WILL make it happen.....on the federal level
i can "see" it now.......
a pound of hamburger....$850.00
a loaf of bread.....$2,500.....
Soylent Green
still under a buck.................
here's the way i look at it....I'm not sure how this works, aren't us Republicans supposed to be rioting or something? I mean we didn't get our way in the election. Where do we meet? What do we do? Should I bring snacks? So, confused.(Not happy about it, but gotta laugh at crap in your life.)![]()
thing is, like gun laws in one state....spread like wildfire every place else....I hope it does. They need that "warmth of collectivism" shoved down their throats.
Unfortunately, that is the only way they will learn. I especially want the rino voters that either didn't vote or voted for the socialists to suffer the most. It is going to get much worse if we don't.thing is, like gun laws in one state....spread like wildfire every place else....
we will ALL suffer from the stupidity of others......
