I've informed you throughout this thread what the economic tradeoffs are,

I know, and I don't buy your simplistic and assumption filled analysis. AwgustaDawg seems to have job a much better job of accounting for all the different economic forces in play.

I believe the Dunning Kruger effect is being perfectly illustrated by yourself.

Couldn't do it, could you? You won't in the next post either. You can't open your mouth without spewing insults.

And I fully admit to not knowing a whole lot about economics, so that's not really what the Dunning Kruger effect is, is it? I'm here to learn. So far I've learned zero from you and that ain't the case with AwgustaDawg or even some of the other right wing posters.

Right. Academic facts are hard for simpletons to accept.

Your "education" failed you.

Stop individual and corporate welfare immediately.

Boom

Finally, you have admitted that you were wrong all along. Guess what? Low wages drive individual welfare my friend...all public assistance in the US has some income aspect to it...to be eligible you must be employed. As income goes up eligibility goes down. Without welfare neither the worker could afford to work for less than their production cost and the employer would not be able to hire anyone for less than their production cost. Workers insisting on wages that reflect their production costs, which you have voiced opposition to, are workers who will no longer be on the dole. How that is bad thing is beyond me.

He has also stated that labor cost does not impact product pricing.

These people are easily replaceable

Except the reality of today show they are nor easily replaced. The government of my shithole Republican state just commissioned a study to figure put why labor participation rate is at an all time low of 59%.

These people are easily replaceable and have no real market value.

Do you know how to change that? You do it with opportunity, not arbitrary wages.

---

If they are easily replaceable their employer is dumber than a sack of hammers for having them employed. Are you suggesting that WalMart keeps people employed out of the goodness of WalMart's heart? I would posit this, someone would come along and put WalMart out of business in no time if that were the case. Any business which could reduce labor costs but has not is a business which is being mismanaged in just about the worst way possible.


I agree COMPLETELY that arbitrary wages are an idiotic idea. Low or high there is no function for them. All that matters is what it costs an employee to produce IF your business relies on employees to produce your goods or services. If you can find employees who can produce for you for $.50 an hour and they are not costing me a red penny unless I do business with you and they willing to work for that god bless both of you! If, however, your paying them $.50 an hour costs me a red penny even when I do not do business with you, as is the case today with low wage employers, then you are a welfare recipient who is a parasite dependent on others for your own survival. Thats what WalMart and McDonalds does...

Have you ever managed a restaurant? They hire out of the fricking halfway houses and replace employees monthly if not weekly.

Youre dumber than I thought and that's damn near impossible.

I've always been anti welfare for able bodied persons and all corporations, Che.

The only welfare you have supported here today is corporate welfare. You are all in on that if it means your big mac is affordable.

.production costs have no impact on market price.

This might be the dumbest thing posted in this thread.

quote:

---

Production costs have nothing at all to do with market price or market value. If your business model relies on labor it is incumbent upon you to control those costs and, unless you are a welfare recipient like WalMart and McDonalds and other low wage employers it is your responsibility to ensure your employes production costs are covered by you and you alone with no help from taxpayers. If you are a welfare queen like WalMart and McDonalds you can rely on the lowest forms of hate filled scum in the United States to defend your tax dollar stealing ways because they are filled with hate and have fricked their own lives up to a point that they are no longer capable of the truth or reason.

I take it back. THIS is the dumbest thing in this thread.
