So wait, you are saying minimum wage is a failed idea?

Obvious samefaggery.
Your MO never changes, you've been doing the exact same retarded shit for months.

>>936175818
Weird that Democrats have never raised the minimum wage when they've been in power. They've had several opportunities to do so but haven't done it. Why is that?

>>936176671
Every time they try it gets blocked by Republiniggers

>>936176523
Different anon here.

>So wait, you are saying minimum wage is a failed idea?
Yes and no.
It's failed because the Federal Reserve and the Central Banking System is designed to fail. You wouldn't have ever needed to institute a minimum wage or argue about increasing it if inflation didn't occur. But because inflation is a grand scheme to steal your wealth subtly... there's no scenario in which the Federal Reserve and the Central Banking System exists and people don't have all the assets inevitably taken from them.

>>936176789
But there have been several times when they had the house, senate, and presidency, but haven't done it, and republicans wouldn't have been able to block them.
So why haven't they?

>>936176850
I couldn't have said it better myself.
The only way a "minimum wage" could halfway work is if it was automatically adjusted for inflation.

>>936176939
Uh....that would cause an inflation spiral that would end up causing huge inflation and make the dollar almost worthless.
I take it you've never studied economics?

>>936177143
So what you are saying is it can't work because inflation is constantly devaluing the bottom rung of society. Eventually it will get to a point where either people won't work, and/ or the currency will be devalued to it being unusable.
If the latter, then the government will try to play revaluing game and the inflation will continue, its unworkable.

>>936176939
Yep.
And we all know the main reason why they keep the minimum wage low, keep wages in general low, and try to flood the market with foreigners is to purposefully induce wage suppression.

The real question is why?

Did the boomers scare the elites half to death and as such they *never* want to make the mistake of empowering the masses again?

Or is this a mouse utopia situation and the elites are pulling on all the levers of subtle depopulation because the counter-intuitive truth is that when mammals of the same species reach a level of "too much" population density a switch gets flipped and the density of the population, ironically and paradoxically, causes a cascade that results in the *complete* destruction of the population?

>>936170807 (OP)
Prices only go up. Never down.
Who is in charge only changes how much they go up.
And I'm getting absolutely butt-blasted by the price of gas this week.

I have a picture on my phone of me paying $6.69/gallon in Oct 2022. Spent over 65$ for about 10 gallons.

>>936177143
>Uh....that would cause an inflation spiral that would end up causing huge inflation and make the dollar almost worthless.
... that nightmare scenario you described has already happened regardless. So even if that were true, in essence, out of all the myriad drivers of inflation that benefit the central bankers and their criminal friends... the one *potential* driver of inflation that happens to benefit the worst off in our society is a bridge too far for you? Makes zero sense on it's face.

The simple fact of the matter is that we don't even need to have inflation in the first place. The only arguably quasi-semi-and minutely-justifiable reason to have an inflationary system is so that the US gov't can fund black budget projects "out the back door" so to speak without cluing in our enemies what it is we're doing. Considering the gov't is pretty evil? Probably not justified even if.

>>936177263
Scare them, how? The stuff in the 60s only happened because the civil rights movement leaders insisted that the draft laws be amended to not just target the poor and minorities. As soon as middle class white kids started getting called up, the "peace movement" exploded.
What the elites learned is "don't fuck with the white middle class" in a way that they can immediately recognize (drafting their kids and sending them to war)

>>936177444
ahh, a goldbug i see.
how does one solve a liquidity freeze and supply chain shocks in goldbug economics?

>>936177511
No, I'm posing the question. Not that I necessarily have an answer in mind. Like I said we know the action is wage suppression. The question is why?

That's just about corporate profits, anon. Not a lot to figure out.
1930s through early 70s, saw unprecedented growth in wages for the working class, what with the new deal and strong unions that came out of the depression era.
By the 70s, the New Deal politicians were gone, dead and retired, and the corporate pushback started. By the 90s, not even the Democrats were bothering with New Deal era policies anymore. Reagan gave the unions a one two punch and then Clinto broke their power in Democrat politics and sidelined them all for Wall St money. He then pushed through NAFTA and Chinese "most favored nation" status, and exported the manufacturing base overseas.
Simple answer-- It's about corporate profits.

>>936177551
>Liquidity freeze
Dependent on the cause. If a person has horded all the gold then the state can come in and compel him to sell. If people made bank runs and the fractional reserve system immediately collapsed? ... perhaps a big hint that fractional reserve should be illegal in the first instance.

>supply chain shocks
Depends on the severity and the reasons for the shock. A jump in prices in of itself is something the market can work out on it's own. If a community has been at the center of a massive natural disaster, the roads are blocked, and so on and so forth? Well then the government and volunteers have to come in to try and get to the trapped population to begin to undo the shock.

>>936177939
Sure, sure. The problem I have with that as a solitary explanation is the fact that the corporations are still dependent on people buying their products and services ostensibly. You depress wages too much and then people can't buy anything beyond essentials.

And you also have petty things like say Disney churning out stinker after stinker after stinker... and many many many consumers saying they don't like this shit, and Disney just soldiers on.

... I just can't shake the impression that there's more at work.

>>936178617
Similar to the tragedy of the commons. No one thing is causing it, but in all, you see immediate profit through exploitation, but only have the vague idea of future profits, maybe, through acting for the benefit of all.
There is no grand plan at work, just continual self serving interests that chip away at the system continually with the intent of maximizing profits in the short term.

>>936178617
As for Disney, their parent company's business model is producing narrative for monied interests, not selling products to consumers.
They're not an old studio who makes are their money from movie box office, they're a multi-billion dollar behemoth of interlocked corporations that control Disney, and are producing narratives to shift the culture to the benefit of some very powerful billionaires who trade in money and influence on a very grand scale. A few million hear and there in one of the corporations isn't shit.
CNN, MSNBC, Fox, et al, aren't moneymakers either, but that's not their purpose.

Well, I hope you're right about there not being a grand plan. At any rate, thanks for the thoughtful discussion.

and republiniggers haven't because:

>>936170807 (OP)
Until his presidency is over. So we in the long haul folks

>>936179646
Because they don't want to. The democrats claim they do, and they have people like you convinced of it, yet whenever they have to ability to do so, they don't do it.
Have you considered why that is? Why they never follow through?

>>936180031
NTA.
In decades past I just assumed it was because they could use it as a campaign talking point to drum up support. These days I get the impression it's because it's a dead end that takes focus away from more pressing issues.

Ultimately, I'd love a world in which the democrat and republican constituents banded together to overthrow the democrat and republican politicians. It just seems to me the politicians can fuck us over because they've banded together in private while in public they make a big show for political theater. Seems that the only way to beat a band is to have a bigger band.
