Adjusting for inflation, a fifteen dollar minimum wage is around where the 2 dollar original minimum wage would be in terms of buying power.

Lmao, "minimum wage" is a populist scam for votes and doesn't affect wages at all. Everyone and anyone making above $15 an hour gets nothing out of this. Employers aren't forced to do shit about existing wages, in fact raising minimum wages just means less raises for people making more than that so employers can afford new hires.

It doesn't work. They've raised the minimum wage where I live by by several dollars over the last year. Has anyone raised their maximum wages? Nope. Has anyone gotten raises when minimum wage was raised? Not unless you were making minimum wage.

Shit take though the vast majority of business out there can afford to do this. Only the very bottom tier mom and pop places would probably hurt. Everyone acts like they are the entire economy.
The real problem with doing this is that it has a trickle down effect that hurts everyone. All these dickweeds don't want to lose their massive bonuses so they offset the cost of minimum wage increase by increasing costs of goods. Now everyones buying power is fucked and you have effectively removed even more barrier between the poor and middle class.
The elite want this and they sold it to retards like they're doing them a favor. Now you have every "political expert" on twitter or reddit or whatever telling you all the reasons minimum wage should be increased

The reality of the min wage increase is less hours and the people who were making decent wages now have only slightly higher pay than minimum wage. My fiance was a manager making 15$/hr while the newbies were making 9$.

Speed up to today, and minimum wage is 14$ for the newbies and my fiance is only making 16$. Everything is way more expensive now. What's the point?

Also even prior to this, wages were the biggest cost of almost any business. There's a lack of demand because of covid and they are raising wages. This is like the final nail for small businesses.

literally all of the jobs lost in my state in the last 8 years are the result of wage increases. Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, and phone jobs have all decimated the small business industry with their high wages.

What you're creating is a competitive environment where the bottom 30% of people are unemployable. I'll be absolutely fine, probably much better if the minimum is raised. But 4/5 people will be much, much worse off.

Well I will say that there are people in this world so rich, that at this point, most representatives are figureheads for the ultra rich. I do believe that we are in a plutocracy. Globally. Citizens United was a mistake. However, inflation is a real thing. Printing money is going to ruin the average persons life and retirement, while the ultra rich remain ultra rich. If anything, there should be a maximum wage in accordance with GDPs, not a minimum.

Please explain why I'm wrong. I'll wait. I've literally seen this happen all around me. Unskilled people are being completely left behind. You think any company is gonna pay you 15 dollars to complain at work all day or not be willing to grow as a person?

Factually speaking all of this is raising the standards higher than 30+% of people can handle. They then vote democrat because life is too hard and free money. Which causes the entire economy to slide like an iceburg.

The growing wealth gap is a direct result of rich people getting more efficient at their jobs while poor people cannot use basic tech.
