I worked at a restaurant here, and when the minimum wage went up to $14 an hour (up from $11.60), the owner raised all the prices.
If they are too lazy to not starve, a few extra bucks is not going to help anything. 😬
who gets to decide who is a "freeloader" and who is not? no wait, let me guess, same people who say a "few extra dollars won't help". they're all wealthy and they all have a sadistic hatred of the needy. same pieces of shit who enforced mandatory drug tests on everyone collecting welfare. they take any opportunity to bully all the poor and take away their dignity, just to catch a couple of "freeloaders"
Like in a Work Camp. Good Place for Lazy POS Pot Heads.

And thats worse than raising minimum wage because....
As for lay offs, its mostly scaremongering and not backed by any concrete economics. Quite the opposite. But in any case, those people claim unemployment benefits. Which we have no issue giving because they are clearly not freeloaders.

Oh, and lol @ the retarded argument of raising minimum wage as if that is actually going to help anything. If it is raised then the prices of everything will just keep going up everytime you raised it and you've solved nothing.Not to mention that employers will just start laying people off if the minimum wage keeps being raised.
Oh socialists... smh. ❌
Says the retard whose brain dead enough to believe the election was stolen just because Trump says so.
You literally would jump off a cliff if Trump told you do.

that just means that beforehand the cheap prices were created by paying you less. So every dollar a customer saved was a dollar less for you to spend. That is if he put 100% of the increased cost into increased prices, it might also have eaten into his profit margin, of course.

I don't think that's economically correct. There are limits of course, you couldn't give everyone a minimum wage of 500$ per hour without significant inflation, but within reason minimum wage increases have almost only benefits, not just directly to the workers who get a more accurate wage reflecting the worth of their labor, but also the economy as a whole, as money at given to the people earning least has the best multipliers, jump starting the economy, a sort of trickle up economics (which has the advantage of actually working unlike trickle down economics, which is just a one way street to enrich the wealthiest and most corrupt).

So you want a nanny state. I'm not surprised. You are a fan of socialist crazies like AOC and Sanders , after all.
