Bernie Sanders: Minimum wage


https://www.vox.com/2019/7/20/20700841/bernie-sanders-minimum-wage-staff-pay

This is an article from Vox, so all of the leftist have to believe it.

When Bernie's own staffers demanded a $15 minimum, what did Bernie do? He raised the rate to $15/hour and promptly cut their hours. Thus, the workers are getting paid THE SAME AMOUNT. Yes, they have more free time, but they can they get another full time job? No.

This was the same thing when people like Bernie, were bitching to Amazon that they weren't paying their workers enough and they should be paid a minimum of $15/hour. So what happened? Jeff Bezos raised the paid rates and then what? Then he BITCHED TO THE GOVT that EVERYBODY should pay $15/hour. He leveled the playing field FOR HIS COMPANY ONLY.

So what did we get out of it? HIGHER PRICES overall to the rich and the poor and everything in between. You know, these virtue signalling dems are really fighting the evil corporations for the little guy. They really think through the consequences of their actions.

However, it's good thing their constituents are indoctrinated idiots with ZERO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. If they weren't, they have to be a little more clever to disguise their socialist agenda.

$15 min. wage is one of the stupidest ideas ever thought into existence.
