  1. Re:Minimum Wage on Los Angeles Raises Minimum Wage To $15 an Hour · · Score: 1

    so you are telling me businesses in seatle are opening in record numbers now right?? no one is leaving right???

    killing the middle class on the false assumption that you are helping the poor is not the right move

    As the cable get stronger it also gets heavier

    not always true. carbon fibre is less weight than steel, but if layed out correctly can be stronger

    by raising the wages of those under them artificially (which is what min wage is) it does in fact harm them as costs will go up, more people will lose their jobs as its not worth paying someone 15 an hour for some jobs, and in the end this is going to hurt the middle class way more than it helps the poor

    true, but the cost of a chevy (holden to you) down there is about 2x what it costs here. so yeah, you are making more but your costs are higher so what is the difference?

    I get your point but there is another point people are missing.

    what about those who are making 15 an hour now??? or those making 15.50??? will they get a raise??? or has their job that they worked hard for to get the pay they are getting now be considered a minimum wage job? While this *might* help the poorest of the poor (in reality those jobs will disappear) it hurts those who DID work hard to get above the bottom. That is unless they will be getting the same percentage raise as those making min wage now that is

    somehow I think this is going to do nothing but devalue jobs in the 15-20$ range

    he made it clear that he did so in a simulator, not on a real plane in the sky. the FBI is taking it out of context to scare people and the media is complicit in this as well for not doing basic journalist research

    the real question to be asking is that if what the FBI is claiming is true, why has the FAA not grounded all planes of the same make yet? they have grounded planes for less in the past, the FAA doesnt really mess around
