Fact : There may be millions of people working full time HOURS, but most
of them aren't full time employees.
hahaha And this guy claims to have a 136 IQ (not 135...136!)
That was the tested number back in school, yes.
Today it tests much higher, but that's largely a bias of having been exposed
to those type of tests.
Bill's idiotic myth : There are no jobs lost due to increases in the
min-wage.
Did you use that 136 IQ (not 135...136!) to glean that from my statement:
"Manipulating wages (like almost any artificial manipulation in the
economy)
can increase unemployment (although the demand for minimum wage workers
has been
shown to be surprisingly inelastic)."
Shithead, you claimed jobs aren't lost. Don't take one sentence out of
context and try and use it. The fact is, whole occupations (gas station
attendents and elevator operators being two easy examples from history) go
away due to increased costs.
I was a gas station attendant for a while when I was a teenager. It paid
more than minimum wage (plus I got to learn gambling and how to rig a coke
machine)
Much easier and more lucrative robbing the gas stations than working
in them. Although it wasn't _very_ lucrative.
