Dems have shit for brains.

The minimum wage doesn't do shit when you think about it.

Just imagine if minimum wage is $15/hr but the USA sucks competitively so the unemployment rate is high. How long do you think the min wage will stay at $15/hr? Not very long. People will demand the minimum wage be lowered so they can get a job.

It works in the opposite direction as well. Minimum wage could be scrapped and the vast majority of people would not be paid less and most people wouldn't be working for $2/hr but what would happen is everyone would be able to find a job doing something, as long as the value of their labor is a positive value to their employer.

So how do you make people better off? Make the USA competitive globally, attract more work to the USA, attract more businesses to the USA and so on....in other words.....put Trump back in office which is what he was doing the entire fucking time he was in office. Unemployment was at historic lows when Trump was president until corona came. Then unemployment rocketed up DIRECTLY as a result of government shut downs.

Getting rid of minimum wage is a scam. They will import 100s of millions just to pay them next to nothing. Don't listen to those lolbertarians they are retarded.

Still doesn't matter. You'll still be unemployed if 100s of millions of new people come in. Also, what exactly stops the companies from moving the jobs overseas? Nothing.

Get skills and become valuable in the work force. This is the only thing that will save you. Nothing else will. No promise or protection from the government will protect you.
