That’s the perfect argument against minimum wage hikes.
Minimum wage hikes are speeding up the process of unemployment.
So you are saying that minimum wage speed up technological innovation and prosperity. Interesting. New jobs are always created, 250 years of evidence on that. Thats not an argument against minimum wage increases. As you admitted yourself, it will happen regardless, so stop using that as an argument! Its silly and a really bad argument. You only have to look at countries with much stronger labor unions and minimum wages and benefits to see how flawed that is.
Boy, and you can't wait can you? I bet you're salivating at the thought. Don't wish for it......... you may get more than you can cope with.
Get building those for profit jails. You'll need them.
I’m salivating at the thought of liberals failing to keep their constituents employed, yes I am.
It’s the only way for liberals to realize the harm they continue to do to this country, both economically and psychologically with this “woe is me” victim mentality.
When the machines come to replace those “$15 an hour” jobs, their unemployment will be on your hands.
Umm. No. Slavery does not bring prosperity. Thats just stupid. Oppression and slavery HURTS prosperity. Thats why countries that actually want reform have to give the people more freedom. Thats politics. You on the other hand promote oppression and slavery and drudgery and oligarchy.
Slavery brought me to this country and last I checked, no African American plans to go back.

Oh wait it’s already happening.
Minimum wage hikes, another failed liberal policy leading to more unemplyment and outsourcing of jobs.
One would think the first 20 minimum wage hikes would do the trick. Nope. Looks like liberals aren’t very good at legislating their constituents out of poverty.
That's funny, because our minimum wage has more than doubled since 2006, and we still have fast food workers. The McDonald's have those kiosks, but no one uses them whenever I'm there
Margaret Thatcher and Jon Major were the worst for the working people of the UK
Yes. When Thatcher died, the song 'Happy Days Are Here Again' topped the charts. Boy, that didn't go down well with the rich. She was their heroine.
She ordered the sinking of the 'Belgrano' during the Falklands war. Hundreds of young conscripts killed. Boy, how the rich loved her, and she loved them.
She crushed the working class, readying them for the invasion of cheap foreign labour. They gathered themselves, and voted to leave the EU. The rich are trying to stop this democratic vote. All because they know best of course.

To claim that slavery brought you prosperity is just stupid. America is not prosperous because you (and most people on this earth) are descendants of slaves and serfs! Oppression and slavery and oligarchy is BAD for economic prosperity. Anyone who think this through would understand this.

Slavery had a silver lining and that silver lining are the ancestors of it who enjoy the American prosperity and opportunities of being born in a 1st world country.
Are you saying that all those slaves and those who fought to end slavery in the civil war died in in vain?
Nope, it just speeds up the filings for unemployment benefits.
You just claimed that businesses would seek ways to automate and innovate and spur technological development in order to counter higher minimum wages. Now you claim it wont happen. You are confused. 250 years of new jobs being created is ample proof that workers get new jobs as technology improves.
