Since the new $15 an hour Minimum Wage law has been implemented in Seattle there have been some interesting findings.  First, people have stopped tipping, which has now ticked off the wait staff who actually made more money BEFORE the new law went into effect.  Second, prices have increased with most stores increasing their food prices by 15% to offset their new costs.  But of most interest is that many of the minimum wage employees have now asked for the hours to be cut back. Tthe reason?  It is because they do not want it to affect their current subsidy checks and food stamps. Since the implementation it seems more had rather continue to take the food stamps than to work for the $15 since they can't have both.

This is lesson that the Liberal Lefty never learns.  Increasing the minimum wage does nothing to affect the bottom line for most people because they are either in a situation where they are beginning new employment and need experience, or they are satisfied where they are and just want someone to give them more money.  Another thing that has happened is a lot of wait staff are now paying higher taxes and not happy about that either.  But doesn't that go against the Liberal mantra? I thought all those who made more money paid less taxes?  WTH????

Hillary in 2016?  Why not?  We've already had one "girly man" serving in office for the past 7 years, we might as well give her chance as well!

I've been reading and hearing about this. This is kinda like the thing they do when they do break down and pretend to look for work/better jobs. They want to be paid off the books so they can still get all the government goodies, and have no problem asking if you'll do it. Of course now, with this economy and no one hiring, they don't have to worry so much about pretending they want to work. Sad for the ones that really do want and need to work and don't think living off the government is so wonderful, even if there are a thousand ways to scam. Some people are just honest, shame they have to suffer.

No JT, I read more than comic books.  Google is your friend.  Businesses are closing and this is the type of economy that will be seen with this mentality.  People like your friend Bernie have no idea how real businesses work, nor how some people are manipulating the system.

It's sad, there are some who really want a job and can't get one. 

In the past, I've worked on TVA jobs with a convicted murderer. Now, you can't get hired around here at a minimum wage job if you have any type felony conviction. No one wants to give them a chance.

Maybe they should try politics.

JT changed his tune when presented with evidence. One should not waste one's time on leftie blogs like the HuffPo, which still doesn't pay most of their content providers. Why doesn't the minimum wage law apply to that digital rag.

--------------------------

Dire, would you be so kind as to tell what you are trying to say.

What is HuffPo?

===============

When it comes to MURDER, I am that "hard hearted" if that's what you choose to call it. Read the autopsy report on the the teen killed by the illegal, then read how the illegal will be out of prison by age 49 if not sooner, look at the smirk on his face then get back to us about "hard hearted". OR read some reports of the torture deaths of little kids by POS that will do only a few years, tell us then about hard hearted. They want to let one murderer out of prison because he's sick, and MAY die. I'd say the hard hearted in that situation are the ones wanting to send the killer home to his loved ones and telling the victim's family to suck it up.

just because they served thier time for many crimes does that mean I forgive them or would give them a second chance!   There are certain crimes that fall into that category for me such as murder, rape, being a child molester and no I do not have too no matter what the liberals say!  I also would be reluctant to hire many other felons due to security concerns for myself, my employees and customers.  I guess you are buying the current liberal idea that its wrong to convict people "especially young blacks of felonies" because its makes their future life difficult.   How about this novel idea follow the LAW!!!   Yes everyone makes mistakes not everyone becomes a drug dealer, user, robber etc. that is not a mistake it is a choice!

 I've worked on TVA jobs with a convicted murderer. Now, you can't get hired around here at a minimum wage job if you have any type felony conviction. No one wants to give them a chance.

-----------------------------

The murderer is not really the one I was speaking of. All felonies are not the same. Some are felonies because they had no lawyer. If a person has a minor felony, (some are), give them a chance, but keep an eye on them.

I'm not hiring anyone I have to "keep an eye on". Who would open themselves up to all sorts of lawsuits and would put themselves, their business and their other employees in that position? You said you worked on TVA jobs with convicted murderers. I said if TVA hired convicted murderers shame on them. Now you back track with some nonsense about them not having a lawyer. Everyone gets a lawyer. Even some people that have assets and money get a free lawyer. The murdering professor amy bishop cried poor and got lawyers paid for by taxpayers. Disgraceful.

I said murderer. (singular)

Everyone gets a lawyer??? Check with Lawrence county Tennessee. Everyone don't.

==================

Yes, I did post murderers when you had posted murderer. My error. I meant if TVA hired murderers (one, two, ever how few or many) shame on them. Anyone who needs one gets a court appointed lawyer. I don't keep up with TN. You should worry about TN instead of AL. IMO bishop had enough assets that she didn't need taxpayers to pay for her. More than a few were upset at picking up her bill, and thought her husband should be in jail with her.

Since when does the grammar police need a thread?

 I know beternnun loves to point out others typos and other mistakes, but hates it when his typos and errors are pointed out to him. I'm still laughing at his attempt to 'correct' me when I posted, correctly, "Down's" Syndrome. So many times he's looked the fool! I assumed one of his threads about "long wolf" was making fun of someone.
