I don't like fish.

[jelgate]

More for me since I love seafood

[Gatefan1976]

Hey, I didn't say seafood, I said fish.
I love Calamari

[jelgate]

Fish is a vague description. Their is a wide variety of fish taste and textures. It's like saying I don't like birds. And stay away from my squid

[Gatefan1976]

*Eats all the Calamari*

So if you got rid of every illegal inside the USA who would do those jobs that they do?

Well, start telling all those able bodied folk earning welfare/unemployment to take those jobs...

But according to Pelosi the country makes more money with more people on welfare.

How's that $15 / hour min. wage working out for you?

Seattle wanted to help workers when it voted in 2014 to gradually hike its minimum wage to $15 an hour.

But a controversial new study out Monday shows that the wage hike may be hurting workers instead.

Researchers at the University of Washington, who were commissioned by the city, found that when wages went up to $13 in 2016, low-wage workers saw their hours drop by 9%.

Workers ultimately made $125 less each month, on average, the report found.

"For every $1 worth of increased wages, we are seeing $3 worth of lost employment opportunities," said Jacob Vigdor, one of the study's authors.

And they're not even up to 15 yet.

Proof yet again that despite liberal fantasies, you just can't get money from thin air.

Yeah, that's why I get paid 25 bucks an hour and Australia is collapsing.
You are brainwashed into believing the corporate line, and it's really sad.

You keep forgetting who pays those wages, and who will do everything in their power not to have to pay too much, so obviously hours are dropped. Better to drop the hours than to have to pay for them.

I didn't forget it, the folks who wrote the law did.
