I’m not saying you don’t have a point. Without evidence it can’t be proven to those who are skeptical.

Didn't imply that at all. But I am saying by raising the minimum wage, it becomes a never ending cycle, which does nobody any good.


In what way does it become a never ending cycle?

The issue is simple: Does a government-mandated minimum wage help or hurt the very workers and job seekers it's intended to help? Well empirical data shows conclusively that raising the minimum wage to an artificial number drives companies of businesses. So the wage should be wh**ever the market shows the worth of that employee's contribution to the company is.
Remember AOC, the former coffee shop employee who was elected to Congress, who then v**ed FOR a minimum wage of $15 New York. Shortly after that she went to the closing of the coffee shop where she used to work, to commiserate with her former fellow employees. The owner said that he had to close due to the mandatory minimum wage.
So go ask her former boss, Charles Milite, who owned The Coffee Shop diner in Union Square where AOC used to work. The Coffee Shop closed its doors after 28 years, sidelining 150 employees. New York's minimum wage law would have added $46,000 a month to his labor costs in 2019. Milite said: "I know it doesn't sound like much -- $2 an hour. But when you multiply it by 40 hours, by 130 people, it becomes a big number. It was going to increase our monthly payroll $46,000."
The unintended consequences of 'good ideas' strikes again! It's infallible!

If a company can’t make payroll why should the rest of us end up subsidizing them?

If he goes out of business he's a bad businessman all he has to adjust his price that's all his competitors pay the same wages

You do realise if you gave a burger flipoer a 2 dollar raise it wouldn't raise the cost of a bugger 2 bucks , most likely 10 cents! I think they should get a living wage as I don't want people living in their cars cooking my food so I'll gladly pay 10 bucks for a burger

Your "logic" makes no sense. First you say raising minimum wage will raise the cost of a $2 burger by 10 cents. Then you say that you're willing to pay $10 for a burger by raising the minimum wage.

Based on what I've observed, I'm pretty sure that all of your businesses went under.

Whaddya expect from lonesome? His spelling and grammar are at a third grade level.
So don’t expect him to grasp even basic economic principles.

What im saying is if a man works 40 hours a week he should be able to have a roof over his head and food he buys on his table and if I had to pay 10bucks for a burger to make that happen I would!
I know we live in a world that says I got mine fu that's what the 1,% think

Wrong again lonesome! It’s not the number of hours that counts. It’s productivity. 40 hours working on something there’s no demand for is useless.
