re: Oh god: Biden’s covid relief plan details released: includes 15 dollar minimum wage

"Why are people so damn stupid"? Well, there is a U.S. congressman who thinks the island of Guam could tip over if the Navy stationed too many personnel on one side of the island. Tucker showed a video of that clown asking an admiral that question in a committee meeting.

Some douche who can afford it might just not pay his rent for 8 months and then go buy a house using the saved rent costs.

I'd argue that's not a douche move at all and is the obvious end result of such a terrible policy. This is the reason communism/socialism fails.

With the explosion of the money supply over the last year, I'm mot surprised by this move.

If this is Childcare Tax Credit, I’m in favor. We spend $14,400 for two kids so the wife can make us $10,000 post-taxes.

$2,000 could take or leave. It’s going into stonks.

Those last two are mentally retarded. The last will be challenged in court ASAP and get the rest thrown out because...

I would assume that would then be the casus belly to stack the court.

I’ll just shut all the utilities down on the property till the tenants leave if they decide to not pay.

Also you can still evict people right now. The tenants have to prove that they need the extension. They cannot just “not pay”.

Either way, you have to be really retarded to even bring up something like that right now in the middle of a pandemic when businesses are closing left and right and tons of others are just about to go under. They'd have about 2 restaurants left in Louisiana and many other states with a $15 minimum wage and a gazillion places would go under. Every place is not NY or Cali.

Businesses in smaller states like Louisiana are being screwed because of huge corporations. Take at a look at McDonalds. McDonalds Gross Profit

Even during a pandemic, McDonalds still makes billions in profits. In the quarter ending September 30 2020 they made $2,905,000,000. Meanwhile, like you said small family owned restaurants are screwed. Many may go under without $15 minimum wage. Adjusted for inflation, the minimum wage was much higher in the 60s. In the 60s local businesses didn't just all go under. Before most of these huge corporations even existed, that money would go to a local family. This family would then spend it in the local economy. Now, it just goes to a billionaire who spends it in China to buy some CCP politician to screw Americans over.

So, in short whilst I think businesses can afford some raise in the minimum wage, you should blame large multinational corporations for businesses not having enough money to pay workers what they need to live.
