The United States Capitol is under siege by Trump Supporters

Facts. But you like to see your self argue with everything fam. And thats why we here

That's not what's happening. Niggas just take simple responses and twist them into shit that it's not. A lot of what we are discussing in here is pretty direct and straight forward.

Would a $15 minimum wage be a good thing? Yes

Should Trump be impeached? Yes

Is Joe Biden objectively better to lead the country than Donald Trump? Yes

Are Black Republicans stupid? Yes

Does voting matter? Yes


The only time debates get heated is when people attempt to go against things that are objectively right and when they do it they twist themselves into knots and expose other flaws in their reasoning.

So we cant debate thinking two steps ahead?

Cool.
 
raising the minimum wage only works if things stay the same price.

someone would need to give something up for it to take effect properly.

no one is going to take a pay cut or explain to the board that profits went down because we had to pay more for wages.
 
So how can we help them afford to live? Should we pay them a living wage?..................
The reality is numerous factors would have to be considered, what's a satisfactory living wage, the fact states, let alone regions are different when it comes to cost of living, slowing the cost of living increase, corporate greed, getting ppl to realize minimum wage jobs aren't meant to be permanent for everyone, etc

Where do you think the $15 figure comes from? The reason why it's settled on that number is because that factors in all of those things you mentioned across the entire country.
 
The cost have living has been going up for decades while minimum wage has not.

There is not argument that you can make that proves that raising the minim wage will drastically make the cost of living go up.

The cost of living has always gone up with the minimum wage never changing.

I gave you an example with my first job. It was at White Castle in 2007. I was making $5.85hr which was minimum wage at the time. A steak dinner at Applebees was $15 in 2007. Are you telling me that if the minimum wage is raised to $15 that the same steak dinner is going to be $45 now? That's not going to happen.

I don't even know what the fuck you're arguing here.

Who said that anything about restaurants doubling the prices of their meals in response to an increase in the minimum wage? That's some shit you just plucked out of your ass so you could shoot it down as being stupid.

They don't have to go up that much. Maybe, they only go on average a dollar on all their meals. Maybe the grocery stores or Wal-mart only go up about an average of .25 on all their products. Maybe the gas stations just put a couple cents on every gallon. Imagine every business that is affected by the wage increase and sells vital goods or services raises their prices to offset the cost of a wage increase. When those people benefitting from the wage increase go out there to buy groceries, get a quick meal, get gas, etc... those little increases build up and effectively nullify much of what was gained through the increase.
