L.A. MINIMUM WAGE APPROVED FOR $15

[Wild self]

Of all developed nations. Americans are by far the biggest victims when it comes to voting against their own self-interests. It's the most pitful and saddening thing to see lower or middle class people tearing each other down over something as simple as a min.wage hike, meanwhile their own nation is literally an oligarchy where the rich have bought everything from the local politician to the news channels. It's disgusting to see the brainwashing.

How am I against my interests? I don't make minimum wage and I'm not poor...

The whole point of my argument is that the standard of living should never suffer because of the price of artifically high rent. I don't care if you make 150k per year and own a few properties, the fact that more people are going under the poverty line due to rent is disturbing.

Americans and their denial of reality. You are here posting on the coli and probably middle class. Which means while you will never be rich, you could easily end up poor. You should always be behind the people nearest to you, and trust the people nearest to you are not the millionaires and billionaires which have their hands in all aspects of America.

In an all Hispanics area would be looking for people that can speak Spanish

Little Jose will be OK.

Uhh you under estimate how much of the general population, especially out in Cali, speak Spanish... Either way, you are focusing on the wrong part. Little Jose will get priced out by another Spanish speaker who is more skilled and now willing to work a shytty job due to
The wage increase. Change little Jose to a low skilled poor white or poor black person. They are all getting screwed too. Even if little Jose is competing with another Latino spanish speaker he will still get priced out.


Lower skilled workers will be priced out of the job market for higher skilled workers willing to do the same shytty job now that it is paying $15 an hour.

The truly lower skilled workers will suffer from the labor pool growing... So the people you are trying to help will get fukked... Badly...

Only in America, is the landlord God

So if you don't like it... Buy your own property just like the landlord did or the person who hired the landlord did.

If everyone;s wages go up then it's whatever. But minimum wage shouldn't be close to what someone with a undergrad degree or more gets.

This the shyt I hate. You nikkas and your degrees act like yall are worth so much more. Fact is you really aren't. That lowly employee you turn your nose up has a better grasp of whatever it is he's doing than you do. You say he can't do your job, well you can't do his. Nobody knows until they know. Degree or no degree.

So what if this wage increase screws the low skilled worker, who actually needs this job? A large hike in wages raises the unemployment of low skilled workers. So whose interests are you looking out for... It isn't the poor person who really needs the job that's for sure.

Of course I could do there job and I have do a minimum wage job. You have to pay people with higher education more.

I really don't understand your post. It takes like a day to learn how to be a cashier or a job like that.

People with more specialized degrees deserve to get more. EX. I probably won't every make as much as a physician b/c their expertise is more specialized. In fact America will have a major problem in the coming decades due to a lack of general physicians. So to quell this problem you would pay them in the ball park of a fast food worker

If you argue that it's easy to find another stocker. Would you agree with a hospital CEO if he decided to pay all the RN'S less because they are in an area with a lot of nursing grads? The thing you don't realize is that the same "you can be replaced so I pay out less" mindset is increasingly going to also be used against college grads as well. So once bosses start knocking down degreed salaries are you gonna sing the same tune?

Rent is not artificially inflated...why don't you understand that. It's scarcity, if you got more people wanting to live in a place than the apartments available, the price will go up, when you add in people with high incomes and excess disposable income, that consumer then inflates the price even further. Damn near every home sale out here, people are willing to pay 50-100k over asking for houses because they know there aren't enough homes in the place(s) they want to live and they can afford to pay more than what's asked. The seller did not set some artificial price, the consumer reacted to a perceived scarcity and set the price themselves. There are multiple forces at play that set real estate prices, to act like landlords just say "hey, I'm charging 2000 for a one bedroom" is a clear lack of understanding of the basic principles of economics. I know you all love to shun anyone whose goal is to make a profit, but you're ignoring economics to find a villain.

The lack of doctors is directly related to the fact most lower-middle-class families cannot support an adult while they take over a decade to become a physician. They are already to financially burdened. Then combine that with loans and forget it. The very thing you are arguing against is impacting The example you are using to do the arguing.
