Increasing the minimum wage will simply mean that those who are not productive enough to produce revenue for a firm greater than the minimum wage will find themselves unemployed. The effect is greatest on unskilled youth, who then will have nothing to do but roam the streets and get into trouble. Helluva plan.

ReplyDeleteThat's what they seem to Sawant...Sorry, couldn't help myself...
It only applies to hotel and airport employees. I cannot wait to see how many lose their jobs, how many hotels close, and how many delays are directly related to this bullshit.
ReplyDeleteWell, if those business/employers now forced to pay it won't be inclined to move out of town, then i certainly can't blame the commies.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't show dullards the consequences of their stupidity, dullards will have no reason to stop.
