solution : youth wage, below the standard minimum for the first year of work but that's not good enough for people who decided to close business because they cannot exploit anymore.
This creates an incentive to hire lots of young people and not hire unskilled older people.
In the UK which has a youth wage, has had negative productivity growth, and has had a series of extremely unpopular governments who needed to use minimum wage growth to support their growth, you have seen large employers mix towards younger staff (where that is possible, in other cases you have seen employers use government programs to import below minimum wage migrants) and let go older staff en masse (employers in the UK also have auto-enroll into pensions, but only over 22).
It simply isn't possible, particularly in economies that have structural problems, for productivity growth to just appear magically when politicians request it.
This is a classic problem with economic intervention: you intervene, change incentives, agents do something unexpected, and the result is more intervention, more distortion, on and on. Politically, this is gold because politicians look like they are doing something. No-one asks whether that thing needs to be done at all.
California is home to the largest number of illegal immigrants being exploited for cheap farm labor. If CA really cared about exploited people, they would have done something about that. And by done something, I don’t mean encouraging and protecting its continuation.
typical bootlickers response to deflect from uplifting lower class people. Either move it to crying illegal immigrants or they already have enough with social welfare lol. It's amazing how you'll defend top 1% getting tax cut's when we need a small part of it actually help avg. person's anxiety of not living paycheck to paycheck.
Decades of tax cut's for top financial class did not workout of everyone else, the extra money did not trickle down but was used to buy politicians to get more tax payer money
Raising minimum wage will close down businesses depending on exploitation and help businesses who are ethical enough to give working class their fair share.
We know what uplifting lower class people looks like - the formula that works as seen in Asia, Europe and the US was masses of factories, lots of capital investment and tolerating high pollution. Minimum wages don't seem to be part of the equation. If this was about 'uplifting' people then the law proposed would be positive (ie, what should they be doing instead of working in fast food) instead of a negative one (people who can't justify a $20/hr wage can't be employed in fast food).
where's the raid on drug sellers, distributors or human trafficking. Avg people trying to make living getting arrested right at court's doorstep is not crackdown on crime by illegals.
some guy working 8-12 hours shift, has family and participate in community programs is suddenly getting deported to nowhere is making America safe again ?
This looks more like making lowest white people better than everyone else
