15 dollar hr min wage order to be signed by biden

[Tyler2106]

Read the EO

Biden plans to sign an executive order that will expand protections for federal workers, including putting federal agencies on a path to require a $15 minimum wage for contractors.

But that minimum wage won't come right away. Instead, Biden plans to direct the federal government "to start the work that would allow him to issue" an order "within the first 100 days" that would require federal contractors to pay at least $15 per hour, according to the White House.

Lol, trUMPERS cannot read


Errrrr merrr gerrr muh small biz

In his $1.9t "relief plan" he did include raising the national hourly minimum wage to $15.

That has nothing to do with this thread, given it is about the EO he is going to sign.

He CURRENTLY does not have a 1.9 tril plan on his desk to sign.

Ok, so why not wait to bitch about it when that actually passes? The topic of this thread is clearly different.

[BearyManilowe]

Technically my title is correct.

Technically you're a *******.

[WRXbrah]

Welp, I guess its time to raise my labor rate by another $15 ($135/hr to $150/hr) to make up for the inflation.

[sandaltan]

"Two weeks."

It's not a fallacy - the government is addicted to spending peoples' money. Tech is addicted to controlling your behavior to maximize profits. If there is a way to get MOAR, they will do it. There is nothing fallacious about incrementalism.

two weeks isnt what a slippery slope is

two weeks taking longer than 2 weeks - thats not a slippery slope lol

going from masks to re-education camps - THATS a slippery slope

going from 1 thing to another with no connection in between and the 2nd thing hasnt happened

Annihilating rural areas is the dream scenario for tolerant lefties. If they're going to push min wage increases they should at least have separate tiers for LCOL and HCOL areas but they want to push everyone to live in shoeboxes in crime ridden cities for easier control.

This isn't exactly that but it's clear that's where we're going.

[pondus_levo]

Employment rates will go down, and companies will instead invest in procedure and automation to make the workers they keep more efficient.

Good job Biden. Dems just can't help but ruin lives while padding their own pockets.

[bubba g]

This will end well.

Exactly what small business owners need right now... especially the ones who've already been absolutly decimated by the brutal lockdowns implemented by their democrat run cities, and states....

[Scarrdbutsmartr]

Biden is a one man employment and economy wrecking ball....

Oil industry getting ready to take a huge hit
Small business getting ready to take a huge hit
Employees of business getting ready to take a huge hit
ALL Americans are going to take a hit for increased goods and services

...but Orange man is gone so everything is better, right....right?

The only way I'd ever consider supporting a minimum wage is if it's tied to COL somehow.

If they automate federal workers since this only applies to federal workers, I don't see a downside.

[jeffl1980]

Fuking LOL

56% of small business owners voted for Trump in 2016..........so he’s not wrong.

I’d also bet the number increased in 2020.

[Mark1T]

This should be excellent for trumptard low IQs, since now they can earn more $. I’m sure he did this to satisfy their needs. Win win. Well done Biden.

Most career fast food workers are dems.

Well done, Biden? What good is $15 per hour if more employees lose their jobs because small businesses can’t afford them? What good is $15 per hour if small businesses just don’t hire? What good is $15 per hour in the long run when automation is fast-tracked to avoid paying employees?

[navid93]

Holy **** it’s actually happening.

Can see it ending poorly. Hope I’m wrong

[MiamiLife305]

So much misinformation in one thread

Perfect summary how trash this whole place is

Why would someone want to work for a small business to begin with, unless they have stake in the company?

Most small business owners steal from their employees and offer no benefits. I don't like big corporations but it's better than working for a small business, from personal experience.

Any business. But millions of people work for small businesses. If you were more informed, a small business can have no employees up to thousands of employees and still be considered a small business.

Your post, like most, is ridiculous.

Good for the attendant who pumps the gas, but what about the guy who owns the pumps? He'll need to raise his prices to meet the new cost of employing the attendant. That's less business for everybody.

I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but there's definitely a trickle up/down effect.

I read somewhere 80% of economists don’t agree with $15

Even liberals I know in real life, anecdotal I know, are against this.

Doubling the federal minimum wage over night seems like a god awful idea

Business have to provide healthcare over 50 employees or face a fine if I'm not mistaken, and likely have other laws at that point. Thousands of workers is NOT a small business.

But yeah, working for a small business sucks, which includes most franchises.

Jobs like pump attendants won't exist. Soon as $15 min wage got passed I'd expect Walmart to totally replace cashiers with self checkout immediately and other stores to follow if they can.

Since this only applies to federal workers/contractors, unless it's a federally owned gas station, it doesn't affect either.

[Googooly]

lol in b4 mass layoffs

unemployment about to go up in this mofo



Trumptards? no, it won't affect them as they already earn over the minimum wage. this will affect your libs with their gender studies degrees and PhDs that can't find "real" jobs

Last time I checked it was Trump terrorist supporters who stormed government building stealing sh!t and causing damage. Only low life scums with probably no earnings do such act.

Every single trump supporter is as dumb as potatoe, yes get mad Lmao.

Listening to all the Republican cope, Biden coming out of the gate triggering right wingers.
I don’t know if I can handle four years of this kind of winning.

[Googooly]

Interesting take. Do you see this potentially having a negative impact on other groups, or is it only who you see as "Trumptards?"

No trolling. I am genuinely interested in your take.

It is what it is bro. Ain’t effect me, if Biden decided to do this then I’ll support him. What I can assure you is the it’s mostly trump facist supporters gonna benefit from this becuase most of them work in low paid jobs. Perhaps he did this to win their heart since they got no brain.

[Googooly]

:d.
