Whatever ... I'm not making the case "that little people are being greedy in their request for a living wage" at all. The economy is fucked six ways from Sunday and this minimum wage hike is being portrayed as a way to fix it. A "living wage" as you put it.
That all sounds good in leftistville but that's not reality.
The reality is major employers will close 60% (at least) of their locations and probably develop a business model with far less employees that allows them the same profit margin. Put simply, the rich will still continue to get richer by employing less people.
In the meantime, the cost of living will go through the fucking roof. What good is a $15 an hour minimum wage when 2/3 of your family looses their job and a loaf of bread is $6, $8 or $10?
It'll be okay though, you'll get you're gubmint rations and these new centralized locations of services (formally known as grocery stores, department stores and gas stations) will be fully equipped to your gubmint rations as payment.
You're only being an asshole by suggesting that little people are being greedy in their request for a living wage near where they have lived all their lives.
Do you think this is the place to dump problems and then refuse to discuss them rationally after?
From name calling to wanting rational discussion?
I thought my reason for "whatevering" your asshole comment was pretty fucking rational actually.
