So, You Want $15 An Hour?

I don't get that sense at all. I think he's out of his depth and afraid to engage.

While I do have him on ignore, I see what he posts when you quote him. For him to say I'm not willing to have the discussion is outright laughable. I lost count of the times I tried to get him to do it and he refused. That's glaringly obvious.

Did I insult him? I sure as fuck did. But that's how I respond when someone decides they just want to be a douchebag and start slinging shit.

The fact that you said his posts in this thread are better than his usual "orange man bad" post tells me all I really need to know about him, quite frankly...

My guess is that you read what I say.

I offered to discuss the issue at hand...and you ran away. I am more than competent to discuss it...and considering the constant insults you include in almost every post, the accusation that I am the one hurling insults is absurd and ludicrous.

Your problem is YOU...not me.

I asked a question...and you ran away.

If you want to debate which of us has insulted the other more often I will be delighted to do so. The question would be decided without question in my favor.

You're a bigger fuckin' idiot than Frank.

See, as the owner of my business, I can guarantee what happens with my pricing. If I want to keep my prices where they are and not raise them, I can most definitely do that.

I don't suspect you'll have the balls to actually answer a question, but I'll give it a shot. Now that I've answered your question, please answer mine: Do you honestly think prices will remain the same if minimum wage is raised? Here in Florida, minimum wage is ten bucks an hour. Voters decided it needs to be $15 an hour; a hike of 50%. Do you honestly expect that prices on consumer goods won't increase, as well?

Ever is a long time and the US has had a few shitty presidents. That said, I agree Pedo Don is the shittiest president in my lifetime.

More like il Douche! il Douche! il Douche!

Trump will undoubtedly be remembered in history as the worst president America has ever had...and his continuing supporters as the most traitorous group since the American Civil War.

Hitler, Hitler, Hitler...Hitler.

You’ve inspected my balls? Fucking weird, dude.

Here’s the bottom line. Increases in minimum wage have almost no effect on demand. Study after study has shown this. And your desperate and repeated attempts to convince everyone you are a big shot business owner are belied by your obvious lack of even basic business understanding. No one cares. Let’s talk about demand elasticity. I’ll give you five minutes to google that. Lol at you.
 
Dillon is lying. Duh. Average age between generations is 25-30 years. Not even close. But I digress. Why do all Trump supporters lie when the truth will do?

Here's the "bottom line": I haven't said a single word about demand.

A simple scenario:

Let's say I own a store; call it "SG's Doohicky Store". I have ten employees who make the Florida minimum wage of $10 an hour, and each one works 40 hours a week. That's $4,000 per week going out in wages.

I buy my doohickies from the Acme Doohicky Company for $20.00 per doohicky. I have an order come in every week consisting of 100 doohickies eve, which costs me $2,000 per order. I sell each doohicky for $40 a piece, and I sell out of doohickies every week (people, after all, love their doohickies). My gross profit is $2,000 on a single order of doohickies, or $8,000 a month. Now, deduct the wages I pay the employees and there is a net profit for the business of $4,000.

If I suddenly had to start paying employees $15 an hour, I would then be paying out $6,000 in wages instead of $4,000, which means my net profit is cut in half to $2,000.

Do you honestly believe that I should simply absorb that $2,000 hit? That'd be bad business. The choices I have are to raise my prices to mitigate the impact of the increase of minimum wage, or let half my employees go to recoup that $2,000.

Which is preferable to you?

Door #3; automate what you can and reduce your employee costs. Not sure how the business tax laws work exactly but my understanding is that employee wages are cost with no or lesser tax writeoffs than investing in the business. Automation is investing in the business.
