  The question was ask "will pay increases lead to machines replacing workers'?

  After the minimum wage ordinance was approved an owner invested in a $150,000

  industrial dishwasher he had been eyeing to save on utility costs. The machine

  also will allow him to stop paying six to eight people who earn $10. to $11. an hour

  washing dishes. The owner expects to recoup his costs in nine months and

  save a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year.

  What were Satan and his demons "doing" up in heaven, before being "cast down" in 1914?

  i was just thinking about how the wts has been spouting off for years that satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth in 1914, but really, when you think about it, what was the difference before 1914 or after 1914?.

  its not like satan and his demons did not have access to the earth.

  satan and his demons always were messing with earth.

  Chris Thornberg, a founding partner of Beacon economies states the higher minimum

  wage does not reduce poverty. Does it reduce homelessness, no. Does it get more at-risk

  inner -city youth to work,no. So why are we doing it?

  He gave two reasons why California faces a bigger gap today between wages and cost of

  living. In recent decades, Calif. lost tens of thousands of well-paying manufacturing jobs

  to other states, nations and innovation. At the same time, Calif. has excelled at creating high-paying,

  high-skilled jobs in the technology and digital sectors, and lots of low-paying jobs.

  Article today in my local news paper, By Anthony York

  I may add, my father moved to California in 1959, to get a better job and to earn more to feed

  his family of 7. I'm sorry, if my family is one pay check away from being homeless I think I would

  look else where.

  We have people every day risking their lives crossing the borders for that reason.

  barry: how is that working in Australia, $17.29 per hour? Is it closing the gap?

  Question for you folks that live in states other the California and New York,

  could you live above poverty on $15.00 per hour in your state?

  Some economist suggest that the minimum wage imposes a wage floor that

  prices cheap labor out of the market, reducing the pool of low-wage jobs.

  Daniel Mitchell of the Cato institute a libertarian think tank, suggests that

  "businesses are not charities and that they only create jobs when they think

  a worker will generate net revenue". Sound like the WT...

  If an employer needs someone to perform odd jobs, and he values the work

  at $8.00 per hour, he will not hire a person if the minimum wage is $15.00 per

  hour, thus keeping unemployment in low-wage brackets higher than it would

  otherwise be.

  Eagerly anticipating the death of billions!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  surely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.

  yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.

  I wish they would be open about their teaching. WT publication April 8 12016 "8 billion will

  die soon, we hope". At the doors, (JW's) we are praying for your destruction, your children's,

  your neighbors, hell everybody except JW's...You must go before Jehovah usher in the paradise

  earth. That is our message to you today. So die please, we are tired of waiting.

  California, $24.000 for a family of four is the poverty line, so $15.00 an hour

  is not that bad. But I can't see people living on that.
