I believe that a majority of this board is against increasing minimum wage as a result of it leading to large corporations easily outcompeting local businesses.
My question is in regards to the implementation of this policy.
Do you believe that the minimum wage will be increased dramatically ($15 minus inflation) soon? When?
What would the effects of such a policy be? Would the inevitable loss of jobs and mass protests resulting from such serve as a form of a "redpill" to the common worker--for the average McDonald worker who barely knows how to layer cheese on a burger?
Jordan Green
You can already see the effects MC Donald's jobs get modernized.
Nathan Rogers
It will naturally once regulations are removed and all businesses become more competitive
Asher Roberts
Not everyone likes fast food made by robots.
Chase Cox
You prefer fast food made by filthy, lazy teenagers?
Colton Sanchez
>more inflation >uncapacited workers can't access to low paying jobs, thus hurting they capacity to access to skills and better jobs in the future
James Walker
Yah but its about the workers you can already see shit like this starting. lots of people gonna be outta work. Basically raise the minimum wage and Private business squeezes out jobs. You gotta keep labor cheap.

I'm just saying that human interaction( good or bad) and truly personalized goods hold more value than cookie cutter bullshit. Corporatism is trending downward
Hunter Fisher
Kick every illegal out. Make it a stiff penalty to hire illegals. Let's raise the minimum wage to where only American citizens get the money. Not some squatters from Mexico turning high school jobs into careers demanding ridiculous money.
Christopher Kelly
Yah but if your already going to Mc Donalds then its game over anyways. You want something good go find the small burger place in your neighborhood run by some "Food Savant" where you may or may not get diarrhea the next day.
Nathan Sullivan
Why couldn't regulations like this be just for large corporations? That and diversity quotas and discrimination lawsuits, etc.
Xavier Gray
>large corps so all McDonald places are mostly owned by smaller corporations that pay royalty to McDonalds inc for the franchise ... is mcdonalds suppose to pay minimum wage or not?
Chase Nelson
If you don't like the way McDonald's does business don't eat there
Jordan Brown
Fuck. I'd say only truly independent businesses would be exempt but it would be hard to codify and there would be lots of loopholes probably.
Tyler Fisher
If you eat there anyway you are a cuck

Lower minimum wage causes wild deflation instead of increased productivity that results in lowered prices, it causes stagnation because no one industry has enough money to invest in innovation, and it's all around degenerate. Why would Sup Forums be in favor of it? If anything we need a higher minimum wage so Paco, Tyrone, and Cleetus are priced out of the market -- their skills can't justify $15 an hour and thus they will never be able to support a family -- and mega-corps are incentivized to pour money into R&D of AI.
Oliver Gonzalez
Oh yeah, and who gives a fuck about local businesses? It's the McDonalds of the world that have enough capital to invest in innovation.
Michael Torres
Most of the people losing jobs are ethnics. A minimum wage is inherently eugenic.
Ryder Parker
That was the original purpose for a minimum wage and it didn't work.
There shouldn't be a minimum wage at all. But if there has to be one, it should be a living wage as you described. Having a minimum wage that's set, but is too low, artificially keeps wages down.
Businesses don't have to offer competitive wages because they offer just enough to keep everyone below the poverty line. It's enough money to keep people from complaining but not enough money to actually live off of.
Anthony Kelly
If you can't afford to meet the gov's regulatory standard you shouldn't expect to do business, leaf.
