More about Trump's cabinet......we're honestly screwed.

[Lightbringer]

I know I've said this before. But we are straight up ****ed. Looking at his cabinet, I would honestly think it would take a miracle for our country to actually survive the next 4 years.

The man Trump chose to be the Secretary of Labor doesn't believe in paid sick leave, doesn't want to raise the minimum wage.....and with that said, he also wants to replace workers with automation....regardless of what the minimum wage is.

When everything goes bad, it hurts the GOP party. The DNC is already in free fall.... America is just fine.

 

[Lelouch Vii Britannia]

Bravo to those dumb cu.nts who voted for him, now watch him as he rips your country apart

 

[slimreaper]

bunch of moron liberals circle jerking and whining because trump's appointees hold views contradictory to what you personally believe.

Trump picked a woman that wants to make Christianity have a bigger role in public schools to be his Secretary of Education, and he picked a climate change denier to run the EPA. What Obama cabinet picks were as bad as these?

I understand that you don't like facts and live in your libertarian bubble of fairytales.

But you know there is a thing called reality and facts are required to make good decisions which keep the world from spinning out of control.

Raising the minimum wage may not be a good thing so I can't really say it's a negative point.

knowledge :th:

Also if u do raise minimum wage and companies don't like how it hurts their bottom line then they will just fire more ppl and possibly automate even more

 

[The Work]

Raising minimum wage is stupid.

I really like this guy

 

[~WastelandSociety~]

People worry too much.
We are going to be fine. Just accept Trump won and move on.
No reason to lose yourself in such a pathetic fear of what's to come when it may or may not happen.

We have a minimum wage that is not a living wage. You can work full time and you cannot make wage that you will survive on. 66% of the American people want to raise the minimum wage.

If it the minimum wage kept up with inflation to what it was in the 1960s, the minimum wage would be over $10 an hour.

If the minimum wage kept up with worker productivity, it would be over $21 an hour.

If you tied the minimum wage with the earnings of the 1%, it would be over $22 an hour.

There are also real world examples that prove that minimum wage creates more jobs than the opposite.

So yeah, the whole notion of how raising the minimum wage causes job loss is nothing but a myth with absolutely no hard evidence to support that theory, which has been debunked firmly by both economists and real world applications.

"At the beginning of 2014, 13 states increased their minimum wage. Of these 13 states, four passed legislation raising their minimum wage (Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island). In the other nine, their minimum wage automatically increased in line with inflation at the beginning of the year (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington state).

As CEPR noted in March and April posts, economists at Goldman Sachs conducted a simple evaluation of the impact of these state minimum-wage increases. GS compared the employment change between December and January in the 13 states where the minimum wage increased with the changes in the remainder of the states. The GS analysis found that the states where the minimum wage went up had faster employment growth than the states where the minimum wage remained at its 2013 level.

When we updated the GS analysis using additional employment data from the BLS, we saw the same pattern: employment growth was higher in states where the minimum wage went up. While this kind of simple exercise can't establish causality, it does provide evidence against theoretical negative employment effects of minimum-wage increases."

When you roll a ball down the hill, do you not already know what the outcome would be or do you need to wait and see for it happen?

When Trump appoints Ben Carson to lead the Housing and Urban Development, even though Ben Carson himself said he does not want an executive position because he does not have the qualifications necessary and will totally mess it up, do you not know or at the every least make an educated guess that it will already be a disaster?

ppl just want free stuff man kun:

In what way does asking for a livable wage correlate with asking for free stuff?

You do realize that if we kept up with inflation for the minimum wage since 1968, it would be over $10 an hour right?

Yeah, just work at a better job for better wages. Minimum wage shouldn't be a problem.
