$2000 and $10 minimum wage create the exact same problems. They just become more noticeable with the higher amount.

If you are truly interested in learning more, I definitely recommend reading Sowell’s Basic Economics. It uses many real data sets and examples that show how harmful minimum wage laws are.

Is this a serious question?

Money is a resource. If you are forced to spend more, it must come from somewhere. Either by creating a worse product, buying inferior raw materials, or cutting the labor force.

As many companies want to keep their customers happy, they try not to decrease product quality or increase costs.

What would happen if they raised the minimum wage to $2,000 per hour? Companies obviously couldn’t survive, many people would be fired, and prices would skyrocket to keep up.

The same thing happens on a smaller scale with a $2.00 increase.

Here a link to some relevant passages:

https://www.creators.com/read/thomas-sowell/09/13/minimum-wage-madness

The majority of Americans do not work for minimum wage. There is already competition for skilled jobs, which is good.

Minimum wage laws create an artificial barrier of entry to the workforce that disproportionately affects young people. This is why you see jobs for entry level marketing asking for a masters degree.

People learn valuable skills and either get promoted, or move to a new company. When minimum wage is in place, companies have less entry level positions and new workers never receive the chance to learn and grow. They remain unemployed.

Ironically, many of these entry level jobs still exist—but people pay for the privilege of working there. They are college internships and most students are charged 4-8 credit hours for real world experience. It is promoted as highly valuable, but only when it’s tied to a university.

There would be more competition and opportunities for skilled labor to develop.

The minimum wage laws have led to overall worse employment and earning outcomes.

Thomas Sowell makes a very strong case in his book Basic Economics, with many supporting studies.

Is it exploitation when people willingly purchase a product they enjoy?

If there is no demand, you will simply fail. If you succeed, that means people have a need for your product.

Some people will probably still take it in exchange for goods.

When the power goes out, it’s usually only for a few hours or a few days at most.

Here is some more info:

Flu vaccine does not work.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22525386/

300% increase in childhood hospitalizations after the flu shot.

TIV did not provide any protection against hospitalization in pediatric subjects, especially children with asthma. On the contrary, we found a threefold increased risk of hospitalization in subjects who did get the TIV vaccine.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22423139/

440% increase of respiratory infection after flu shot. Over the following 9 months, TIV recipients had an increased risk of virologically-confirmed non-influenza infections (relative risk: 4.40; 95% confidence interval: 1.31-14.8). Being protected against influenza, TIV recipients may lack temporary non-specific immunity that protected against other respiratory viruses.

12x more spontaneous miscarriages after flu shot.

“In addition, because of the order of magnitude increase in fetal-loss report rates, from 6.8 fetal loss reports per million pregnant women vaccinated in the single-dose 2008/2009 season to 77.8 in the two-dose 2009/2010 season, further long term studies are needed to assess adverse outcomes in the surviving children. Additional research concerning potential synergistic risk factors associated with the administration of Thimerosal-containing vaccines is warranted, and the exposure-effect association should be verified in further toxicological and case-control studies.”

Ultimately no benefit found in vaccinating for flu.

The current influenza vaccine program seems to be ineffective, and the U.S. should consider replacing it with a program based primarily on antiviral medications. Research is needed to develop more and better antivirals, especially agents to which influenza viruses do not readily develop resistance.

Yes.

The flu makes you over 400% more likely to develop serious respiratory symptoms from any respiratory virus.

It also causes more aerosolized droplets.

Each flu shot you get makes you something like 8% more likely to develop dementia.

Overall there is no net benefit for flu vaccinations.

Thank you for chiming in.

As you can probably tell, I haven’t really read the Bible.

Working on changing that.

Isn’t there a story about what god did when they nephilim bred with man? Something about being angry at the corrupt bloodline.

Also, for anyone with a job that offers an HSA, add to that while you’re employed. The money doesn’t expire and if you don’t use it, you can withdraw for retirement just like another 401k.

There’s tax benefits too.

If I get fired for any upcoming mandate crap, I’ll have a cushion for medical emergencies.

They can cause many neurological impairments including epilepsy, adhd, neurosis, meningitis, learning disabilities, and more.

It says several times that basically straight men aren’t allowed there, so I think this was a trans person.

This woman hates men so much, she became one.

That also makes more sense how neurotic she acted.

For future reference, if you get stung by wasps or hornets, you can put mud on it immediately. As it dries, it pulls the venom to the surface and dramatically reduces healing time.

It’s the same concept as using a clay mask for a facial.

Iodine evaporates over time.

If your table salt has been sitting for 3 months or more, there is basically no iodine left.
