For the kiosk salesmen? Absolutely nothing.42k a year for a mconalds cashier.
What could possibly go wrong?

This is happening regardless of minimum wage. Ronald McDonald would personally install a squad of Terminator T-800s and Johnny 5's in there if he gets to clear another 14 cents per transaction.For the kiosk salesmen? Absolutely nothing.
I don't believe he laid anyone off.when labor costs rise, the companies HAVE to compensate ... by raising the cost of their goods/services, cutting labor, benefits ... something
Bernie Sanders campaign learned that the hard way a week or two back - raising their labor costs equaled laying people off
the worst of this is ... the people making $35 an hour? they'll pay way more for their goods and services ... and yet their wages didn't go up any
veterans and SS recipients will love that
What happened to hiring?The General said:We love our Mcdonalds in here! That is a good point you made. Perhaps McDonalds could lower their franchise fees to help subsidize. Complicated issue.
My town slowly raised the minimum wage to $15. It seems to have mixed effects, but all in all it seems positive. Variety of things occurred stuff like places reducing hours, but people were making about the same because of the larger hourly wage. Working less on the deep fryer but making the same amount is a win in my book. There was less worker turnover in these positions IIRC from what I read, I'm guessing the boss likes that. All kinds of factors to take into consideration so results are still being evaluated. Who knows if this works in other areas as all cities have unique challenges and advantages.
To continue our all McDonalds all the time talk one thing that didn't seem to happen was their restaurants closing down here. You can still get some crappy burger or chicken pieces.
It does seem there's not enough moderately well paying jobs to go around with how we are doing things now. With 60% of people with essentially no savings. Going to be a great place to live when a third of the nation is eating catfood when they are 55 and unemployable.
I don't know what happened to hiring. Seattle unemployment is like 2.5 % though.What happened to hiring?
Also, big difference between seattle and say dubuque.
And before we get too deep here, I dont take issue with cities passing their own minimum wage hikes. My city is much smaller, but I have seen mass turnover of city government due to one project getting approved. I think like 7 aldermen and the mayor all lost their jobs. Typically if something is really bad at that the city level it is much easier to change.
I do take issue with a federal minimum wage of 20 bucks an hour.
I think you’ve hit on the reason. Get republicans in certain districts on the record voting against and bring more poors back in the dem fold.I don't know what happened to hiring. Seattle unemployment is like 2.5 % though.
Dubuque isn't Seattle but a house there isn't 850k either.
20$ an hour Federally (i'm guessing this lady is talking over the course of years getting there) is probably too high, there's no way it passes anyway. I don't really know what this woman is proposing but what it does is get the topic of what is a working wage to the front of the discussion. Really important issue.
I dont understand the bold. I brought up dubuque because COL is much lower. Wages are also much lower.I don't know what happened to hiring. Seattle unemployment is like 2.5 % though.

Baloney. They arent doing this to start a discussion. They are doing to promise more free stuff to court the people that would get the free stuff.I think you’ve hit on the reason. Get republicans in certain districts on the record voting against and bring more poors back in the dem fold.
Seattle min wage was required to be raised from $9 to $15. That's significant.I dont understand the bold. I brought up dubuque because COL is much lower. Wages are also much lower.
The wage increase in seattle was not actually that big of an increase. It would be much bigger in dubuque.
Free? i thought this was for people who are working.Baloney. They arent doing this to start a discussion. They are doing to promise more free stuff to court the people that would get the free stuff.
They clearly didn't think about how the cost of goods will affect people on budgets. Rents will go up and now we're pushing the cost of living burden on people with fixed income not making minimum wage.Stealthycat said:veterans and SS recipients will love that
. Lovely young woman.......Well said.
I stand correctedThe General said:I don't believe he laid anyone off.
They will limit the time people can work so they aren't working 60 hours a week on a salaried job of 36K a year. Same pay, less hours worked. They also provide health benefits, paid time off, and sick time.
if nobody rents those higher cost apartments, the prices will fall. an apartment building cannot exist when it has nothing rented can it ?They clearly didn't think about how the cost of goods will affect people on budgets.

Or of course they bump up SS dollars, because what could go wrong there???
You do realize that in most places a 700 dollar a month apartment is that cheap for a reason that is usually not good and that America sucks at public transportation. I had to use public transportation here in Charlotte. To make it work I had to spend 90 minutes commuting in both directions. And that's if the buses were running on time which is hardly a given. So your glib solution isn't really all that great.Now put him in a $700 apartment and have him use public transportation.
If all that is available is higher cost apartments what else will they rent? Will they live in the streets? Because around here, and by around here I mean within an hour of the city, any place worth living in is not cheap. I know because I just spent 2 months looking and going out that far.if nobody rents those higher cost apartments, the prices will fall. an apartment building cannot exist when it has nothing rented can it ?
fixed income people get hurt the WORST with min wage increases
don't live there - moveIf all that is available is higher cost apartments what else will they rent? Will they live in the streets?

But someone has to fill that 700 dollar apartment. If everyone's wages double, the same person is now going to be filling the 1400 dollar apartment.You do realize that in most places a 700 dollar a month apartment is that cheap for a reason that is usually not good and that America sucks at public transportation.

you should try to get a spot on the US pizza team. http://uspizzateam.com/You are probably correct..I worked in an Italian Restaurant and it was not conveyor belts. 2 big pizza ovens upper and lower. At times on a busy Friday night I would have 12 pies going at one time to monitor. Busy all night with dine in, carry out and delivery. Rotating, poking crust, burning my forearms when I touched the oven, I loved it. The time flew by.
