Because most labour that pays the current minimum wage are worth less then 15$/hout

Because economics doesn't care about your feelings.

It's mainly because burger flippers aren't worth $15/hr.

Why isn't it $20/hr? Heck why isn't it £20/hr?

It's like $30, I believe.

Do you want robots?
Because that’s how you get robots.

Because I get paid $15/hr to do actual work that affects this nation's trucking economy. You flip meat while stoned.

because a worker earns an amount proportional to the value he generates to his boss who doesn't have unlimited money. Bigger wages means fewer jobs, and those jobs that hold little value would soon be done by cost-effective robots.

And also because inflation.

Because the only thing that would result in is niggers and illegals boasting bigger rims and harder drugs.

>Because I get paid $15/hr to do actual work that affects this nation's trucking economy
Ahh, go fuck some imported thai tranny, jesus christ, you're like those '''''artists''''' shoving candles up their ass.

...

Once their capital costs are paid for and depreciation works its magic, robots almost work for free.

But hey, you are a good person and definitely deserve that $15/hr.

Because other areas of the country are less expensive to live in than Hawaii Jew York and Commifornia.

Just join the air force like i did. Free housing food healthcare etc

Why aren't the wages based on productivity instead of hours worked? Work harder, earn more. Problem solved

What a cute Wojack.

Why not make it 50$/h then we would solve poverty!!!

>Liberals: Raise the minimum wage to $15/hr to solve poverty!
>Conservatives: Don't raise the minimum wage it'll lead to automation.
>Technocrats: Raise the minimum wage to $15/hr to speed up automation and throw the plebs out on the street.

Because when you force companies or individuals to pay wages that our above and beyond equilibrium you create a surplus. In this case a surplus of labor (people are unemployed)

In layman's terms, if you own a pizza place, you may not be able to afford to pay Bill and Bob $15.00. Whereas, say; Papa Johns or something could probably afford that. It'd be a great way for corporations to kill their competition.

Because most minimum wage labor isn't worth anywhere close to $15/hour. Hell there are plenty of shitbags in minimum wage jobs whise labor isnt even worth $5/hour.

>Conservatives
*Cuckservatives

I know this is bait but for anyone reading asking the same question the awnser is because automation is cheaper than 15$ an hour do you want a job or not.

Thanks recruiter Joe.

Liberals importing cheap immigrant labor via illegals

And republicans also importing cheap labor via H1B and the like

You want the matrix? Because that's how you get the matrix

Tried that all I got was a bunch of green socks that don't match and crippling anxiety.

Automation is going to get to the point where fast food itself is obsolete.

Both cuckservatives and rightservatives agree that raising the minimum wage isn't an answer. There wouldn't be a combined party if there wasn't overlap.

Dam use guys must hate that a buger flipper like me makes $27.40 a hour!!

Because not everyone works at Taco Bell OK?

what's up with the eyebrows

C O M P E D

That's a scary thought. Imagine if automatic deliveries were faster than going through a McDonald's drive-through. France would have like 60% unemployment.

Because you kikes care more about "are Italians white?" and you say stupid shit like "mexibros are white".

Because the standard of living will go up.

>Implying $27.40 Australian dollars goes anywhere in Melbourne or Sydney.

Having to pay all your employees 15 an hour when your starting a company (or store / fast food / bar etc) would be a huge problem for anyone from middle class and below trying to climb out of the poverty trap.

You could hire 2 teenage workers that get subsidised by their parents to work for you in exchange for the experience and 7.50 an hour for the price of one 15.

It prevents small "mom n' pop" companies from being able to grow and only allows for big business/upper class who could easily afford it to corner the market literally which would leave the lower classes as simple factory workers that make 15 an hour....minus the increased taxes (leftwing backed idea), minus you're forced healthcare plan that has increased due to free abortions for non registered immigrants, not to forget the obvious inflation and cost of living increase.

Most labour that pays the current minimum wage isn't worth the minimum wage. That's why there's a minimum wage.

but how much you pay in living expense? It all evens out eventually. That's why you can't live in downtown Seattle without making 27.40 a hour.

Nuffin im 16

I used to know a guy from Australia that would brag about his $20 an hour McDonalds job. He was from a 3rd world shithole with no education and had to offer his asshole up to two different roommates to make them willing to cover some of his rent and the rest of his money went to cocaine.

1 it specialist earns 1k, 10 it specs will earn 100, 100 it specs will earn 10. But liberals are into arts and not science so for them its pottery.

Im At trade school buddy

>Rich guys own apartment complex.
>Renters are low-income types.
>State referendum increases minimum wage to $15/hr.
>Voters pat themselves on back, "we so compassionate."
>Rich guys who own apartment complex raise rent to take advantage of new windfall.
>Back to square one.

Why is it so hard for progressive idiots to understand that this is what happens everytime they propose this? Are they really that stupid?

The economy can't support it. thats why.

If you forced it. Then you would be manipulating a market and would see an economic down turn.

Most labor that pays the current minimum wage isn't worth the minimum wage. That's why there shouldn't even be a minimum wage.

>mexi
>bros
Fuck back to cuck-dit faggot.

>France would have like 60% unemployment.

Lmao, as if the French don't have an answer to that. It's called 'sabotage', and there's a reason that that is a French word.

Do you want Utopia? I say this because that's how you get Utopia. I would also like to express my discontent with you starting a sentence with a conjunctive word.

because working at maccy's d isnt worth that for the labour you do.

t. used to work there

Human Rights and stuff. Social Peace and shit.

Idk matrix still sounds better than the uk

>Says the guy living in little big China town.

And yoir ignorant bloated red neck having ass, slugs it down with your diet coke, while your fat wife texts her bf and your snot nosed kids suck up the sugar- clearly you have this life thing figured out -

Permanently repeal any and all gibs and you can have your 15 an hr

Because the numbers in money don't matter cause it's all fiat currency which relies on some arbitrary basis everyone is just supposed to go along with. We could pass laws making everything worth $1, we could eliminate our entire debt, we could print out more and more money and toss it around amongst the masses to pay off their debts with no real economic ramifications cause if things go wrong we just make a new law to offset it, etc.
They just want you to think money is worth anything and that wages matter cause some bullshit about meritocracy using wealth as a social metric. This is biblically forbidden by the way.

So you'd flip burgers if it paid 15$ an hour? I mean, you'd be overpaid, right? Jackpot for you!

why isnt the minimum wage at least 500$/h?

because then the dollar would be worthless pal.

Leaf

hahahaha fucking lowlife loser problem

$6billion/hr is the real living wage. Zimbabwe agrees.

I'm loving this new 'fuck conservatives' meme. You fell right into the hands of the elite

Who's going to serve you McCoffee in the morning then? Jamal, future rape convict, who spits in it for 1$ an hour, or Frank, future doctor, who has bills to pay just like you and would rather not have to live in the projects surrounded by niggers just because he'd rather spend his money on tuition to better his future than on overpriced rent?

Cuckservative is an alt-right term, no one tell him that.

Why not just GIVE people the money?

Checkmate Capitalists.

This would actually be great for keepin niggers wothout a job. Raise it even more.

And this is actually the best propaganda tactic to make libtards shut up about minimum wage.
>Nazis want minimum wage! Wtf we hate minimum wage now

Because it's not skilled labor.
Want $15 an hour, do a job that requires you to learn a craft.
>pic related = not skilled

Because shareholders demand at least 10% per year dividend increases.

For the same reason it isn't at 100$.

Ill make my own coffee.

Why don't you get a better job?

That's exactly what I'm saying. Matrix is better than earth.

Why were you going to McDonalds if you were going to make it yourself?

>implying kids save for college

You're damn right.

And you'd be making everyone else's coffee too, hoping to one day be able to afford an education so you can get a better job. Just a couple more years of saving.

Meanwhile, nogf because she doesn't date broke, uneducated white losers who make her coffee.

imo any job should be able to pay for living expenses if you live with one roomate

Minimum wage is $11.30 here which when working full time nets you about $1450 a month. The average rent for a 2 bedroom place here is $1600 a month, leaving you with $650. $125 is spent on a bus pass, $40 on a phone plan, and $70 on internet, leaving you with $415 for food and other shit. This seems reasonable to me and I have no idea why people seem to complain. If you want to live on your own with your own vehicle, ya gotta get a better job. t. guy who just graduated college and is still working near minimum wage.

1 post by this ID.

Not like OP has a job or is even employable so why bother sticking around to be BTFO.

and to add to that
>inflation rises long term too

Now imagine someone still going to college, working only part-time, and who doesn't want to have to live next door to gangbanging niggers and spics to be able to afford college.

How's he going to pay for all that shit?

Also, you graduated college and working full time a min. wage job, you still can't afford your own place and a car?

Your life sucks so much, I feel like killing myself just imagining being you. God damn.

>Average median income rises
>Prices of goods/commodities increase
What do people not understand about this

>I have no idea why people seem to complain.
People want free stuff.

A $15/hour nation wide minimum is too high but I think you could get away with an increase to 9 or 10 dollars an hour without any serious unemployment.

You fucking oligarch. Let's make it $1 Billion an hour!

16 year olds don't make close to that at McDonalds, don't tell tall tales out of school.

I graduated college literally 3 weeks ago, I figure 2-3 months and I will land a decent job with benefits. I also worked ~25 hours a week while in school and had a grant because I had good grades, so I could still afford to live with a roomate during that time. Keep being a retard, though.

I understand it if you have dependents, but for people like me it doesn't make a lot of sense

Because those jobs are for children and retards. Being employed in the service industry is for cucks. Cry more.

It is almost 15/hr (burgerbux) in this country. Most Awards make sure people are paid better than that as standard, too, even for entry-level jobs.
Plus side, everyone with a reasonable amount of employment can maintain a decent standard of living.
Downside, youth unemployment and underemployment is pretty high since business owners are incentivised to automate due to high wages, so the people who don't have many job options can't get them at all.

I'm a retard because I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to afford half-decent housing while I go to college with a part time, minimum wage job?

Thanks.

Some of us find the idea of living in conditions below the line of poverty to be unacceptable. Not all of us are retarded cocksuckers like you who just enjoy our slave conditions.

Anyways. enjoy wage-slaving for the rest of your life, selling away your soul for retirement benifits, lol.

Minimum wage should be abolished and free market allowed to sort everything out. Every man have a price, some are worth close to nothing and some are worth millions.

>tfw too stupid to go to college and all the shit jobs are taken because i live in a shithole
Should i just end it all?

The exact same person that's making
me coffee right now. Or if for some reason i don't like my coffee being made where it is, i'll just go to another place. Or I'll make my own coffee, and no leaf, it's not going to ever be the case, that i make coffee for a living. That part is already kinda settled.

It means that she dyes her hair

I want Trump to abolish the minimum wage, let average Americans compete with those Mexicans that want to pick vegetables for $3 per hour.

Because minimum wage jobs are for highschool kids

Military, Trade School, Mom and Pop's Store?
Any "Small" skill like Driving or Computers?

Houseshare. Deal with living in a shit hole like the rest of us had to do. Life begins at 40 as they say. That is because it takes that long before you can work your way up the ladder of success for more people. That is life, deal with it.

>human rights
>social peace
You got me now, son. I like your motherly need to care and nurture hobos like they were your kids. Stop it, you're making me cry... I felt warmth in my heart reading your tender words.
