| Marks said: Prices will go up, number of jobs will go down. So no, it's not a good thing. It's good for the lucky ones who get to keep their jobs, but for the ones who have hours cut or fired, it sucks ass. Look for wayyy more automated checkouts at grocery stores, wal-marts, hell even fast food places could have a simple touch screen ordering system to replace cashiers.... Government can do one amazing thing that would create millions upon millions of jobs: deregulate, and step the fuck out of the way of business. Let employees and employers negotiate on wages, stop telling business "you have to pay at least this much hourly, plus Obamacare, plus pension contributions, plus all the taxes, plus abide by all the rules, licenses, regulations" etc. etc. |
Wrong, and wrong again. The Minimum Wage was enacted so people could live on Decent wages. We also did this because THINGS did get out of hand remember the Industrial Age when kids and families were abused by the Company?
And also Deregulation doesn't always help, you do realize they can also Deregulate to only help the Rich get by and not the poor? You do realize that this is escpecially true in the Alchohol industry?
We can create Millions of Jobs yes, but at what cost? Have the same standards as China? Sorry but this is America, we expect Higher Standards than China.
