71% of Americans Support Increasing the Minimum Wage

[PaulConventionWV]

Actually you know what, this whole money system thing doesn't make sense. I see no reason why people can't just walk into a hotel and demand lodging, and then walk into the restaurant next door and demand meals. Money is an archaic medium of living, and as a modern, civilized society we know better than to let anyone be treated any differently than anyone else.

Not sure if serious...

its interesting because i had a conversation with a girl in my class about this.

she said she was in favor of increasing the minimum wage.

I then saw a janitor starting to clean the floors of the building. I said to her, "im goign to go and ask that guy how much he makes an hour."

she said, "omg! dont!"

I then said, "do you think he makes minimum wage?" to which she answered, "no, i would think he makes more."

so i go, "then why is there a minimum wage? if people are being paid more, whats the point?"

Not a very good argument. Obviously if people make more, that does not mean other people wouldn't make less if there wasn't one.

You fail at logic.

I like how the poll was "adjusted" to match up with demographic data. That makes it obviously accurate.

A poll that shows such ingorance is due to the mass populace seeing no free market, we can't blame the ignorant, we should be thankful there are roughly 30 percent that know better, and we are gaining.

71% of Americans want to be unemployed.

71% of Americans do not understand economics.

71% of Americans want free stuff.


Of course they are for "more" pay.

Random vocabulary word I learned a few weeks ago:

The name for a pile of stacked rocks is a cairn.

Learnt that word reading Stephen King's Pet Sematary years ago.

Ah yes ,but it is more complicated. The rocks on the BS Zimb money are the balancing rocks of Chiremba, or some such , I cannot remember how to spell everything , while I enjoyed my time hunting in Rhodesia, those are probably in Epworth and I do not remember seeing them ( I drank a little in those days ). When I was a young explorer, I often sought out Cairn's ( and left them to mark a spot , myself ), but they were not simply piles I was looking for, but ancient fences , used to funnel game into a killing spot . Then you knew you had found a populence and one of advancement.Then you could look for other things that may ( or may not ) advance learning .

I sort of remember a time when it was $1.35 when I was young. I think I went HEY! but I was delivering papers and somehow it didn't apply to paper boys and baby sitters. Later I think I got $1.50 an hour picking watermelons. It was hard work but it was something someone could do as a trainee.

That was back pretty close to the time we used real money. Not the counterfeit like now.

If you were making the same starting pay now it would be pretty close to $30.80 an hour in today's devalued counterfeit. Or still $1.50 in real money.

Personally I think everyone's wages should go way up.

I think the general rule is that the people putting up the money to create a business should get 50% of the profits while those providing the labor should split the other 50%.

I think we have strayed way off of that and it could be time for a global reset.

I don't think it should need to be a law to get us there but a rule we hold ourselves too. Well it's an idea anyways. Actually things are so bad people just can't take jobs for the wages being offered and the counterfeiting organization has gotten so out of hand it loots out any profit in carrying out any type of legal venture. We are against a wall.

To hell with it, let's just make the minimum wage 1 billion dollars per day. After all, a million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days. How are people going to afford to eat without $30 billion/month?
