re: AOC: Reason for $15 minimum wage, Denmark pays $22

Sadly, AOC’s intellect is representative of about 90% of lib/progs under the age of 30.

Which is more than that of 90% conservatives above the age of 30, which is in turn more than that of 90% MAGs above the age of 30.

Isn't Denmark deporting refugees?

Should we always do what Denmark does?

remember a few years back McDonalds was offering to pay starters at $21.00 in some North Dakota restaurants. The was the labor market price.

I know some people that worked there...they said there was one McDonald’s that took 6+ months to open after being built (it may have even failed to open) because they couldn’t find labor, even at those wages.

In about 73, a coke in the U.S. was a quarter. In Denmark when I was there they were a dollar.

Exactly. Massive taxation makes that a lot less than 21/hr in the end.

Also, the welfare states of Europe are all raising their retirement ages as their systems collapse. They aren't socialist anyway. They're nanny states with high taxation, but they have some of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world.

Don't believe me? Just ask them.

Danish PM in US: Denmark is not socialist

OP did more homework than AOC.

I wonder if anybody taught these dumbass progressives about politics. It seems these idiots want to continue to fight battles they can't possibly win.

The minimum wage increase in the COVID bill is dead...deal with it. It will come back up and if you can make and get behind deals in Congress with this majority the Ds can probably get it to 10-11/hr. That is a compromise they'll have to live with.

If they were smart they would be fighting about something they might be able to win in this COVID bill....like the stimulus limits....that in my mind is a winnable argument to keep them at what they were for the rest of the payments in 2020.

I don't necessarily endorse that policy but it is something that they can win.....and what they, and Biden, need right now are wins.

vastly superior worker

While I can't speak of Danish workers I can speak on Finnish McDonalds. If the worker is from Finland the quality is really good compared to America. However, Finns are becoming to the point where these jobs are beneath them. So now all the migrant workers (bearded babies or hairy hands as the Finns like to call them) are manning the fast food sector here and the quality and service is quickly going to shite. I would actually say it's probably about 30% worse than American fast food. Hell, if you want to grab a table here be prepared to clean it yourself. Also try not to trip over the overflowing trash coming from the trash cans.

Interesting... I need to borrow this.
