SayHeyDeac's Thread For Serious Political Discourse Only--Trolls Need Not Apply

Seriously the workforce productivity is like half of what it should be, just look at the boards. You could easily get away paying people more money and have less people do more. This isn't universal though, you have a lot of industries cough school admins cough cough that get paid more and then add more of them so their work is diluted even more.
 
We have more people than we need. We're rushing to figure out what the hell they should do all day when in reality we should be having fewer babies.

So a sex czar to go along with a wall czar and registry czar?

One thing that needs to end yesterday is people crying about jobs to avoid paying people a decent wage.

Yesterday, I was talking to a lawyer buddy of mine who has a very successful law firm. He works 80+ hours a week. He voted for Trump although he's moved left over the years and generally embraces Bernie/Warren reforms. We were talking about the concept of livable wages. He said that he feels bad for poor people but he works very hard to earn money and he expects others to do the same. I responded that there are plenty of people who work just as hard as he does, but they have little to no chance of getting ahead getting paid minimum wage. I'd rather a business pay 8 people $12 an hour than pay 12 people $8 an hour and be more efficient. That's going to help 8 people reduce their government dependence and programs can focus on 4 people who really need it.

You are not supposed to stay at minimum wage jobs long term. They are the first rung of the ladder. You want to remove the bottom rung of the ladder.

Watching Trump voters realize they got suckered in so many ways is going to be the only consolation the next four years.

Hillary supporters still do not understand Trump voters.

It has always been pretty clear to me that Trump talks big but always compromises. I would assume most of the voters were aware of that.

I'm not talking about dictating anything besides the lowest possible amount a business can pay somebody. If minimum wage goes up and the business decides they still need 12 employees, they can devote more to their payroll than their pockets. Otherwise, the business can decide it needs fewer employees.

LOL. Glad you're not talking about dictating anything to businesses.

Saying this doesn't make it true.

Do you mean that it has evolved to not be that way? Or do you really think this is what the intent of minimum wage jobs was when created?

The first one I could take an argument for, the second---easily disproven.
