        @breadsmasher Nope! I’m advocating for policies that would lower the production costs of the goods that are being served, as well as inflation and regulatory costs and fees like taxes, providing greater margins and stability for businesses, incentivizing them to voluntarily raise employee wages.

          So “hahha ask for more get fired” is your way of saying “production costs should be lowered”.

          I don’t believe you have a good grasp on reality. Good day.

            @breadsmasher No, it’s not. It’s my way of making fun of you guys for complaining about something happening that’s due to a policy you support, and then advocating for doing that again. This is downright hilarious, and worth laughing at!

            Everyone laughs at the fool who hits himself in the head with a hammer, says “ow that hurts”, and does it again. Y’all are doing the exact same thing here.

        Increasing minimum wages reduces the value of everyone else’s money. Companies never take a hit from these increases. They always pass on the cost into the product or they shut down locations.

        Every time government increases the minimum wage, the poverty line goes up as well. It’s turns into a never ending inflationary cycle.

        You can’t just increase the minimum payment, because at the end of the day, the money has to equal some type of value. When the government forces a value, it reduces the value of everyone else’s money.

      This was the wrong time to push higher wages. Small business are having financial problems. Many people don’t get most McDonald’s or other fast good places are small businesses.

      With inflation and everything else, they just can’t afford to take the hit. That’s why many closed or laid people off.

      Bakeries were excluded because of the buddies of the governor.

      It would make more sense to have a fast food union over the government screwing everyone over.
