Topic	Newsflash: No One's Going to Work Their Butt Off for $15 Anymore
willythemailboy 08/04/25 1:57:06 AM #21:	Monopoman posted... So the notion that if they did implement a $15 per hour minimum wage across the USA it would cause massive price spikes is just bullshit. Nationally? Not so much. Locally, where minimum wage is significantly less than that? Depends on the industry. Nursing homes, daycare, and other industries where labor is the highest proportion of overall costs would see a pretty big spike. Monopoman posted... Americans also are some of the hardest workers, over time we have seen productivity in America only go up. Again, depends on the industry, but mostly productivity gains come from the capital side rather than the labor side. A guy with a shovel can be the hardest worker on the planet but he's not going to be more productive than a guy with a backhoe. A guy with an abacus is never going to be more productive than a guy with Excel. --- There are four lights. <cite>willythemailboy posted [p:985989605] in Newsflash:...
