I hate the 'productivity' argument, especially from communists; is it the labor that has value, or not, you fucktards? Are people working 250% harder than they were? No, in fact in almost all scenarios the same technology leading to that increase in productivity makes our jobs easier.
There's plenty of issues with our current economy, obviously and, if we're going to have a minimum wage, and we start from a place of assuming the minimum wage back than was the correct one...yes, minimum wage should be significantly higher. It hasn't kept up with inflation, and worthless fiat currency made everything a joke.
Not from a minimum wage standpoint, but for calling out fiat, I do like the argument that, if you went back to when there was silver in quarters still (we'd already moved away from gold standard but coins still had some value), if you were paid $1.25, today you could melt down those coins for around $30 in silver, I believe. That's the real travesty, and a much more compelling argument to me; how fake the money is. I don't care about 'productivity,' especially coming from lazy Marxists.
Lol just wait. The blood, tears and recriminations will really start flowing when the Hollywood writers go on strike, which they will, probably this year. The studios will just replace them all with AI script generators and we'll start getting better content.
It's entirely because Universal just raised their rates, and the Cult don't want to lose anyone.
Not enough, they need to make the minimum 30$ an hour.
NOT ENOUGH! https://files.catbox.moe/rxbrn9.png

The real dirty secret is the feds don't want the minimum wage to go up, because it makes their "transitory" inflation permanent.
wages are sticky anyways. wages are already up. You'd have to experience some actual deflationary effect to push them down.
...what
Send some inspectors in to confirm all is up to code.
That is why I wanted them to increase the minimum wage, 30 was a lowball, make it 100. The more money Disney bleeds the better is for everyone.
