$15/hr Min Wage - We told you so

Because my personal situation was again used earlier to imply that I am asking to raise the minimum wage - for the second or third time, I have never called for a raising of the minimum wage. I have never worked full time at federal minimum wage and I understand the economic cases against such a wage, which are exacerberated by out of control automation. Please do not attribute motivations to me that do not exist."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

If you still have problems doing the right thing even in spite of your religious book telling you to, I have zero problem with the government helping you to.
The employers have to either cut down on employees, or their hours to remain profitable, or raise their prices to make up the difference. The consumer either ends up with an inferior product or a very expensive product. The employee either ends up making near the same or less because of hours being cut, or finding out he is now in an economy where everything is more expensive and his buying power still remains the same as before.

Why The $15 Minimum Wage Will Cost California 400,000 Jobs
This, as opposed to companies voluntarily increasing wages due to incentives in the new Tax Plan.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Wage increases...
- AT&T said it will give $1,000 bonuses to "more than 200,000 AT&T U.S. employees" and fulfill a $1 billion capital investment pledge as soon as the bill becomes law.
- Fifth-Third Bancorp told Axios' Dan Primack that it will raise the minimum wage of its workforce to $15 per hour. It said 3,000 of its employees currently make less than $15 per hour. When asked why, given the $1.5 billion it made last year in profit, they had no comment.
- Wells Fargo will reportedly increase its minimum wage to $15 an hour. The San Francisco-based bank also plans to allocate $400 million in donations to community and nonprofit organizations in 2018.
Again, not because somebody held a gun to their heads, or "legislated", but because they were incentivized by Trump's tax reform.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

A lot of companies find it convenient to lie to the gullible for PR purposes. There's been some good investigative reporting into past tax reductions and they pretty consistently found that what the companies said in public they would do with the money turned out to be lies."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

ATT is a huge company that's constantly changing. I hated DirecTV, so I switched to ATT, and lo and behold, ATT bought DirecTV.
Here's some more news....
