Seems like a methodology to identify struggling operations more than one to evaluate... Vodalus Send a noteboard - 27/06/2017 10:25:30 AM

...the impact on restaurant workers. Amazon and Vulcan (Paul Allen from Microsoft) have pretty much remade the whole South Lake Union part of Seattle, taking it very much upscale from what it was. I suspect that might be factor at play as well - more sophisticated palates and plenty of cash to indulge. Aside from traffic and parking, things are great here.

Case study of the damage liberalism can do - $15 Min Wage Anonymous2000 - 27/06/2017 01:54:54 AM 1505 Views
Seattle is a poor choice for a case study damookster - 27/06/2017 05:31:18 AM 867 Views
Well, sure, but many of those non-entry level jobs are being held by baby boomers. Ghavrel - 27/06/2017 06:09:40 AM 854 Views
That's at least in part because the minimum wage makes automation more cost-effective Cannoli - 27/06/2017 11:04:28 AM 752 Views
Exactly. If you have to pay people $15/hour as a McDonald's cashier, put in the robots instead. Tom - 27/06/2017 07:18:11 PM 824 Views
That is an incredibly silly argument. Ghavrel - 27/06/2017 08:56:09 PM 836 Views
If you assume wages can't go lower... Cannoli - 29/06/2017 04:52:33 AM 848 Views
Many? damookster - 27/06/2017 12:30:39 PM 843 Views
Amen. Tom - 27/06/2017 07:21:47 PM 807 Views
Yes, many. My office is full of them. Ghavrel - 27/06/2017 08:59:55 PM 758 Views

We have a 40 hour work week for a reason. Ghavrel - 27/06/2017 10:17:15 PM 833 Views
That's a piss-poor analogy damookster - 27/06/2017 10:23:04 PM 776 Views
How is that really relevant, then? Ghavrel - 27/06/2017 11:03:34 PM 750 Views

FULLY AUTOMATED LUXURY SPACE COMMUNISM. Ghavrel - 28/06/2017 07:49:59 PM 924 Views
Also, curtailing immigration, like keeping the minimum wage low, really only delays the inevitable. Ghavrel - 29/06/2017 11:05:58 PM 792 Views

You also shouldn't respond to it by letting them die. Ghavrel - 28/06/2017 07:53:10 PM 796 Views
But this same arguement can be flipped by.... Jeordam - 28/06/2017 10:34:25 PM 856 Views
I feel like you're making my arguments for me here. Ghavrel - 28/06/2017 10:51:38 PM 885 Views

There is a huge difference.... Jeordam - 29/06/2017 05:10:05 PM 811 Views

All right, so what society without minimum wage do you point to as a model? *NM* Ghavrel - 29/06/2017 09:39:12 AM 501 Views

The ones where hunger and scarcity were widespread? Ghavrel - 29/06/2017 11:04:02 PM 767 Views

The example for this post was for Seattle, or perhaps King County only. damookster - 29/06/2017 11:49:32 PM 862 Views
"Attract labor"? Minimum wage labor? I believe you mean, violently repell businesses Cannoli - 30/06/2017 03:31:36 PM 829 Views

Just to nitpick, Switzerland isn't exactly homogeneous. Legolas - 28/06/2017 10:28:01 PM 821 Views
Don't say "liberalism" - there's nothing liberal about them. Say "Leftism". *NM* Tom - 27/06/2017 05:07:36 PM 426 Views
I was thinking the same. Even in the US, that's a weird context to use that word in. *NM* Legolas - 27/06/2017 05:50:21 PM 458 Views
Most Americans have no idea about the historical context of Liberalism. The Shrike - 27/06/2017 06:03:38 PM 777 Views
But even so, surely even in the US the main connotation is with social progressives, not economic? Legolas - 27/06/2017 06:28:54 PM 794 Views

A decade under conservative deans would fix the situation nicely, I think. Ghavrel - 27/06/2017 11:24:41 PM 729 Views
Yes! I wonder what Dean Wormer from Faber is doing these days... *NM* Tom - 28/06/2017 12:03:46 AM 347 Views
So I've been thinking through this whole minimum wage thing.... Jeordam - 28/06/2017 05:47:26 PM 847 Views
It varies fairly significantly from location to location. MIT has a decent calculator. Ghavrel - 28/06/2017 07:56:41 PM 1311 Views
