Why is the government so eager to have everyone’s work get done by robots instead?
Do you know why liberal politicians are so enthusiastic about raising the minimum salary? It’s because all of their policies end up lowering real salaries.
Liberals favor increasing immigration, which obviously increases the labor pool, and thus lowers salaries.
Liberals favor dumbing down educational standards so that everyone and his dog can get a college degree. This artificially increases competition for higher earning jobs, and also creates a large class of people with large debts and no real-life skills (art school graduates and so on).
They also favor all of the diversity and equality policies (like affirmative action) that encourage brown people and women to go into the labor force, and forces businesses to hire them even if they’re useless wastes of space.
Naturally, what this means is that liberal policies lead to much lower salaries all around. Thus the solution is to just make it illegal to pay people low salaries.
CNN:
The minimum wage is set to go up in 72 jurisdictions in 2020. The increases will be in 24 states and 48 cities and counties, according to the advocacy group National Employment Law Project.
Most of those changes are set to begin on the first day of 2020, though New York’s pay raise is set to begin December 31, the NELP reported.
On New Year’s Day, 20 states and 26 cities and counties, mostly in California, will raise the minimum wages. Four more states and 23 more cities and counties will join later in the year, according to NELP.
“These increases will put much-needed money into the hands of the lowest-paid workers, many of whom struggle with high and ever-increasing costs of living,” wrote researcher and policy analyst Yannet Lathrop in a blog post announcing the new wages.
Yes, in fact, it will.
For about 3-4 months.
Then, once the robot order comes through, a large part of those people will just get fired.
We have the technology. We just need the legal incentive – which minimum wage laws provide.
This is all extremely obvious to anyone with half a brain.
The minimum wage has been a hotly contested subject. Earlier this year, the US House of Representatives passed the Raise the Wage Act, to make a $15 an hour minimum wage a national standard — up from the current $7.25 an hour. The bill, however, didn’t make it past the Senate.
The bill was preceded by numerous calls for wage raises, notably in 2012 when fast-food workers in New York went on strike. At the time, some workers were only making $7.75 an hour. In 2012, the median wage in New York for fast food workers was $9 an hour, meaning half of all fast-food workers in New York were earning less than $9 an hour.
But opponents of raising the minimum wage say the result could be fewer jobs. If employers have to pay their workers $15 an hour, they’ll hire less workers, the reasoning goes.
And that reasoning isn’t without merit. A study done in July by the Congressional Budget Office projected that a wage increase to $15 an hour would result in a loss of 1.3 million workers, or 0.8 percent of the workforce.
Some have backed a $12 an hour minimum wage instead to lessen the impact of a higher raise on the job market.
But others have argued the impact wouldn’t be as severe as projections assume. David Howell, a professor of economics and public policy at the New School, told CNN back in July that half of the projected jobs lost are held by teenagers, who could find other work more in-line with a career track. He said everyone else could be retrained for higher-paid work.
Most economists, like this “David Howell” fellow, are just people paid to come up with plausible-sounding nonsense to help justify stupid government policies.
Half of the projected jobs lost are held by teenagers? How about the other half?
The others “could” be retrained for higher-paid work? Who’s going to do that? Who’s going to pay for that? Do these “higher-paid” jobs even exist?
These excuses are just meant to sound pleasant and comforting, even if it’s all meaningless drivel.
If politicians want to raise wages, there’s very simple and easy methods to do so.
First, kick out all the illegal immigrants, stop new immigrants from coming in (legal or not) and severely punish those who hire illegal immigrants.
This is your number one cause of low wages, right there.
Second, encourage women to have children before even thinking about entering the job market. For example, by giving young married families cash bonuses or tax exemptions for having children before the age of 25.
Third, raise tariffs so that companies have to produce things in America instead of outsourcing everything to China.
These are all simple, easy measures that would immediately and dramatically raise wages. I wonder why these people who are discussing the minimum salary aren’t also bringing up such obvious suggestions?
It’s one of those things that really make you think.
