why do they hate young black males?

quote:

President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday released a proposal saying that he will call on Congress to boost the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour from the current $7.25 per hour. The federal minimum wage has not been increased since 2009.

The call to raise the federal minimum wage is part of a larger $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package called the American Rescue Plan aimed at helping boost the U.S. economy from the damage of the pandemic.




These people don't understand shite. They need to read up on their Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell. This will absolutely dry up many jobs in the black male populace.

Send them a copy of Basic Economics.

Thomas Sowell Minimum Wage

Walter Williams. If other countries want to be rich like the United States, just tell them to raise the minimum wage.

Will cause more jobs to be cut, more people on public assistance, Cloward and Piven Strategy, crash the system.

Wants you to be totally dependent on the gubment.

Doubling the MW at a time when most small businesses across the country are barely hanging on.

It's like they're trying to ensure that only big businesses survive.

Yep. This is about catering to China and making American made goods non competitive in the world market.

All disguised as compassion.

Why not $1,500/hour?

We could pay off the national debt with the income taxes this year

Idiot idiot idiot! Let’s raise wages 100% in many states overnight and let the employers deal with it. Get ready for record high unemployment! Yay let’s double employers payrolls, and at the same time cause hyperinflation

This moves the production of everything to China as well as any job which can be outsourced.

I wonder who told Chairman Joe to do this.

They don’t care.

Imho, a lot of this stupidity is tied to some contracts, like union ones, having wages indexed against the minimum wage.

Minimum wage goes up and it doesn’t affect most people with jobs but the unions get more because they are guaranteed X over minimum wage as a starting point.

In some of the states where they did raise minimum wage, you had workers asking for less hours bc they were going to lose their EBT and other benefits. Regardless of what they do, you’ll still have workers complaining and at the same time screw the business owners.

Oh, they fully understand it. And that's their intention.

How better to keep an entire portion of the population reliant on the government, than to exponentially decrease their opportunity for advancement even further.

They're doing this very deliberately. And black Americans in predominantly low-income black communities will be absolutely shellacked by this- and they'll still keep voting (D).

We have to secede from this incarnation of the USA. This is not sustainable or fair for anyone.

He is beholden to the AOC wing of the party.

Watch Thomas Sowell on this, as the OP pointed out. He's right.

What's better? An unemployed kid earning $15 an hour (for the liberals, that's $0 per hour), or an employed kid earning $7 an hour?

I can't wait to see this. This is going to hyperspeed up automation. Biden is going to drive a technology jump like we've never seen, and he has no clue he's even doing it.
