Craig Jones: Turn Minimum Wage Into Livable Wage

[rantventrant]

Timothy- if raising wages across the board would mean higher profits, why don't employers just do it voluntarily? Any why stop at $7.25? why not make the minimum wage $100 an hour? maybe BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK?

Why stop at 100/hr lets make everyone millionares 1million/hr! zimbabwawe here we come!

lol, that's some logic for ya... if we increase wages - then everyone's wage goes up! relatively things are gong to be the same. changing minimum wage doesnt do shit besides increase the money supply and devalue the individual dollar which irritates foreign debt holders who hold our debt valued in US dollars. the wage one earns is a function of two variables as follows:

(wage)=k*(commonality of skills provided by individual)*(demand for skill); where k is an arbitrary "wage constant".

[ambagoli21]

@ambagoli21 and there ain't nutin you can do about it...

[ambagoli21]

and obviously the "commonality of a skill" is a function of

(the intrinsic quality of the work itself)/(competitors (or fellows) at same quality of skill level)

Go, brother Go! We need more young men and women that think, and read, and speak outside-the-box like this young brother. When you raise wages across the board, you raise profits for businesses, for cities across the board. KEEP THINKING THIS WAY, YOU'RE THINKING STRAIGHT!!
