(R) Hawley says mandatory $15/hr min wage for billion dollar companies

[OPGenesis]

Is this going to put companies out of business and workers out of their jobs?

Hawley is pretty close to a populist

I'm happy to say I helped damage his primary opponent Autism Peterson by spamming all the tweets and FB posts he had deleted where he said he wanted to punch Trump supporters because Nazis, and open the borders to Mexico

If you abolish the minimum wage, what will become the least valuable job? Robotics?

I agree with a lot of what Hawley says. It all makes sense to me lol.

People on the right will surely have a meltdown over any proposed increase of the minimum wage, regardless of the company's revenue.

glad to see some GOP members and conservative voters starting to realize that trillion dollar corporations are not your friends

We have to protect those multi nationals that get huge tax breaks to promote BLM and trannys because otherwise that would be socialism.

Likewise, the forum seems to let me rep other miscers 2x before it let's me rep you back lol

I'm not for this minimum wage noise, and I'm against the government telling companies how to run however, there is a role in our government to at least set some rules and keep things fair, which they have done a horrible job of doing. These huge companies pretty much hold a monopoly, and part of that monopoly is on wages. There are studies being constantly done to analyze how much companies pay for certian positions and companies use that to determine what they should pay. They take up a good portion of the job market.

Same lol.

I've been on a neg rampage with a lot of these phaggots, and every time I hit you for reps it always says I'm on spread...

...and the difference in $$$ will be tacked on to goods/services provided by the company.

Do people think a billion dollar company is just going to bend over and take it? They’re not losing revenue.

in that case, the free market will fix it and people will just shop elsewhere

right? right?

Missouri already passed a bill for bumping the minimum wage up to $12/hour by 2023, so he can push this since it wouldn't make much of a difference in his state. By 2025 we'd probably see a lot of states near $15 anyway. It seems inevitable at this point regardless of potential job losses.

there will not be job losses

if there are massive job losses then who is going to spend money at these places that just fired everyone?

don't believe koch propaganda

Didn't they estimate there would be a loss of around 1.4 million jobs?

That's more than 0 but I guess you could argue that the overall state of the economy makes a much bigger difference than that.

who did? who funded them?

personally i want a country with no minimum wage and just let workers unionize and negotiate their own rates like they do in scandanavia

but since we're already on this train, then it needs to benefit the worker and not globalists who don't give one single fuk about americans

Seems kinda fair tbh.

No reason these companies pay their CEOs etc.. Millions of dollars a year and cannot even give their workers a liveable wage.

Would also help level up the playing field a little for smaller businesses to compete. Not sure what the states is like but because of this Corona chit all of the small businesses are being forced to shutdown while the massive corporations continue to operate unaffected or even benefitting from this pandemic

There’s nothing common sense about min wage laws period, a min wage shouldn’t exist.

agreed, but in the real world they do and right now they benefit multinational trillion dollar companies more than americans

Unbelievably stupid. This would create enormous inefficiencies in the market.

Prices go up too much and people will shop elsewhere. Fuk em.

[Latinowarrior3]

It's a good thing. We should care about our fellow Americans and ensuring the low end of our society has a livable wage.

This argument is literally retarded outside of optics. If you take the entire C-suite salaries and distribute it to the workers of the company it will barely do anything. I ran the math in another thread for Kroger and it was the equivalent of $30 a year for the CEO and that was his entire salary and compensation package.
