Increasing minim wage increases inflation. There's a reason its minimum wage. If you want more money get a better job.

Amazingly there is no thread on this already.

Good or bad? Why or why not? Not specifically in the US. If you live in a country that has it tell us about it.

A good idea but stopping unnecessary wars might allow for such optimistic goals.

That seemed like a double negative LOL

Oh! Good idea! Except most of the people with minimum wage jobs can't. You obviously don't understand the point of having a minimum wage.

There is none. Minimum wages are hazardous to every economy. We are better off without it.

It's my understanding that Walmart creates more jobs then it destroys, so why try to keep it out? Besides keeping it out is not really the way to go. It serves no purpose except for destroy the marketing position of your town and the economical gain of everybody with a job.

Even communists are bound to get things right every now and then. If workers can't get what they need from a job they need to demand more. Now a company can get more workers easily so they will fire them and leave them on the street, this hurts the economy. If there are to few workers to do jobs that require no real training or education then immigrants are the easiest way to go. Unfortunately that creates a lot of unfortunate downsides and of course economical problems. So raising minimal wages a bit is more beneficial to the country.

Oh yea. An even better idea. Maybe we can go back to having slaves, trading people as property.

Stupid. Like you.

Good idea. Except its so hard to raise minimum wage. New Jersey has had $7.25/hour for its minimum wage before the federal minimum wage was raised to the same. Before that? $5.15/hour. Tell me how one is supposed to raise children with wages like that.

isn't it glaringly irresponsible of a person to have a child that they know they do not have the means to raise?

I know things happen and you can't always prepare for the future, but someone living on minimum wage should not be complaining to the government when they cannot feed their kids, and imho, are committing gross neglect

Do you realize the effects of raising minimum wage such as inflation?

Oh I understand it. Its you who don't. Its not supposed to be something to live off of. Do you know how they figure out minimum wage?

That's a bit naive. In the eternal words of Forrest Gump, shit happens.
Believe it or not, minimum wage jobs are not all held by high school students working during the summer. Its the people with mouths to feed. Nobody's gonna be able to support more than themselves with $5.15/hour.

Now this time instead of arguing FOR minimum wage. answer to show knowledge about it:

Do you know how they figure out minimum wage?

Do you realize the effects of raising minimum wage such as inflation?

so your argument is that everyone who has a child on minimum wage was:

1) a) not on minimum wage when they decided to have a child

OR

b) were in a position where they could both live on minumum wage and support a child

2) had no other choices, such as birth control, abortion or adoption

3) had long term financial plans in place that accounted for all the costs of child raising

4) had an event occur in their life, that they could not possibly have forseen, which caused them to lose their financial security

wow man. C'mon, you can really make an argument better than that

so, I thought of something the other day...

In a system where the government runs the medical system, is there even such thing as doctor/paitent confidentiality?

Yes.

Yes.

how, the doctor is the government....?

The doctors work for trusts, which are large independent health bodies, which are ultimately regulated (loosely) by the government. It's mostly funding and recommendations from the government's end.

The distance between a doctor and 'the government' is fairly great, and certainly much further than anything that might infringe upon confidentiality.
