Polls lol.

Regardless, $15/hour minimum wage will lead to workers working fewer hours; even more small businesses lost, like we can stand that; and an increase in automation.

Like so many progressive ideas it looks good on paper, but yeah.

Indeed. There are many ways in which a company (let's say a small business that, in part, employs six basic laborers who earn $10/hr) could react to such a price control, and none of them are good.

One such option is that the company eliminates the position, since they can't afford to raise their labor expense from $4,800/payroll to $7,200/payroll (which amounts to a whopping $62,400/yr INCREASE in their labor expense). This elimination of basic laborers might result in added automation (if it costs less than the labor expense increase), or it might simply result in a shift of those responsibilities onto the team of "intermediate laborers" who were already getting paid $16/hr. Heck, it might even result in the business going completely belly up due to not being able to turn an adequate (if any) profit on their products/services anymore.

--- At best, this situation results in the six basic laborers now making $0/hr instead of $10/hr. At worst, this results in the whole company's workforce making $0/hr, as the company no longer exists.

Another such option is that the company instead reduces the hours of that position (making it a part time position instead of a full time one)? In order to keep the labor expense for those workers at $4,800/payroll, the company would have to reduce those six employees' hours down to 53.33hrs/payroll (or 26.67hrs/week)

--- At best, those six basic laborers have now just lost their health insurance / 401k / etc benefits because they are no longer "full time" employees...


Price controls simply do not work. They lead to shortages.
 
Yeah, so?
So, you don't realize how businesses operate.

Let's do a little math...
Okay.

Worker works 40 hours a week for $7.25/hr = $290/week
Okay.

Same worker works 29 hours a week for $15/hr = $435/week
Why 29 hours a week? But anyway, that results in a labor expense increase of $145/week (or $7,540/yr) PER EMPLOYEE.

In order to keep the labor expense at the same level as it was before, the employer would have to cut the position down to 19.33hrs/week, IF that's feasible. More likely than not, the position would be eliminated altogether and either shifted to the rest of the workforce (or automation would replace the position).

PLUS, the employer can now create ANOTHER JOB to fill the remaining 11 hours of work you cut from the worker.
This is laughable. So, beyond the $7,540/yr INCREASE PER EMPLOYEE by making the full time position into a part time one, you think that an employer is going to ramp up that increased expense by tacking on another $8,580/yr PER EMPLOYEE??!! hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Why not just claim (since you're living in lalaland anyway) that the employer would decide to just keep the full time position a full time position and fully absorb the $16,120/yr INCREASE PER EMPLOYEE from their bottom line?

And those 11 hours @ $15/hr = $165/week, more than half the original wage while working 1/4 as many hours.
The company is not going to fully absorb a $16,120/yr INCREASE in labor expense PER EMPLOYEE... You are living in lalaland.

Using math to prove you're a fucking idiot.
Yes, that is precisely what I just did.

Realistically, that position would be eliminated and that employee would now be making $0/hr instead of $7.25/hr... $7.25 > $0
 
Why do people think that minimum wage Hamburger flipping jobs were meant to be family supporting? Why do people with no education, training, or the ability to engage in a family supporting career have families if they do not have the ability to support them? Have they not heard of birth control?

Hamburger flipping jobs were meant for high school kids primarily outside of the few manager positions.

Products of unionized public school "educations". That is how democrats want them. Dumb as fuck and relying on the government.
 
Biden has...

-Pissed off his union donors by killing Keystone

-pissed off soccer moms with the transgender madness [their daughter’s sports scholarship might go to a biological dude]

-failed to deliver on the $2000 relief promise

-bombed Syria

-promised to send free face diapers to everyone as part of his Covid response
______

That’s what you call getting off to a blazing crawl. Are there any Biden supporters who are with their vote happy so far?

Promised 100 million Americans would be vaccinated in his first hundred days, today 68 million have been vaccinated and it is only day 36

House about to pass Biden Covid bill, half way to approval, 36 days in, the Tax Cut legislation took two years

Negated a substantial portion of the Trump agenda via EO in the first 36 days

And it has only been a little over a month in

Since Dec 14th 2020 68 Mill doses have been administered. You can thank Trump for setting that up and getting it going.

Not to mention putting mini illegals in cages.

Ah, no, Trump roll out was an embarrassment, Operation Warp Speed was fictitious in delivery, and the worst part is that the supposed millions doses being held in reserves didn’t exist

You might want to look up the facts Archives. Biden has done shit. Other than kill 100,000 plus more Americans. That is his only "legacy" in the last 36 days.
