In California that’s $15 x 0 x (Mexicans sq)
The Progressive Liberal left HATES Mexicans!
Does this mean the freeways will be less hectic?
Did you see the funny graphic in the story “who gains from a $15/hr minimum wage?” It belies the story itself, assuming that the people who earn minimum wage now will continue to have a job when the minimum wage increases.
Here’s an interesting perspective on raising the minimum wage:

On the other hand, if one kills Wall Streeters, things will be wonderful, won’t they:

Only a leftist mind could conceive unemployment as being more dignified, productive or character building than working for a humble wage.
Who pays $30 (U.S.) for a t-shirt?
Oh boy … more homeless on the streets of Santa Monica ! The Libs LOVE IT ! Now they can get even-cheaper domestic help !

“Now they can get even-cheaper domestic help!”
Exactly!
$15 min wage is a political joke for the Liberal Californians, they get their illegals for much much cheaper.
That’s what Open Borders “really” means to a Liberal other than building the vote plantations.
Indeed, MUCH cheaper … and all under the table, no workman’s comp insurance or federal withholding (as required by law.). And the Libs justify it because … they are “helping” the poor downtrodden immigrant. They believe it about; Rosita, their Guatamalan maid, Jose, the Mexican gardener … even Nugyen, the Vietnam Namese girl who does their toenails. Nope, it’s not slavery … if you are really “helping” them by exploiting them.
And if I were to even posit the same idea about African slaves working a Plantation fields for room and board in the 19th Century … these same Libs would go apoplectic. How DARE I suggest they are actually enjoying a better life than in their homeland.
You see, all you to do is declare that you caarrrrree about the poor and downtrodden. As Randy Newman sang; “… you ask me what I think about the starving children in India? I say … Ohhhhhh Mammaaaaa”.
“Leaving Wage”. That’s great. You should copyright that Kate. I just googled it and it appears it hasn’t been used before.
“And if I were to even posit the same idea about African slaves working a Plantation fields for room and board in the 19th Century…”
Slaves on a plantation didn’t work for room and board; they worked for nothing.
Because, er, they were slaves.
Their room and board was provided for the same reason farm animals are housed in barns and receive fodder. Otherwise they die.
Eerrr… working for room and board is only NOT slavery if you are free to leave, and starve or freeze to death. Slaves in the American colonies were supposedly working tp pay off their passage, initially. Till some dude went to court to keep his indentured labourer for an indefinite term…
Kate, once again a brilliant headline. I googled it and not only could It not find another instance, all other suggestions were for Living Wage.
“Slaves in the American colonies were supposedly working tp pay off their passage, initially.”
You are conflating slavery with indentured service here. Indentured service might not have been too much better than slavery in many aspects, but it was not slavery.
Slaves got room and board purely for the purpose of keeping them alive to work, like draught animals.
Let us not waste any more time equivocating about the whole inglorious history of slavery in the Americas.
Yes, please. The less equivocation the better:

The left loves the poor and oppressed. That’s why the left wants to make more of them.
JJM, when you jumped off the dock and missed the boat, you didn’t “hit” the ocean, you missed that too.
this all union all the time.
Let us not waste any more time equivocating about the whole inglorious history of slavery in the Americas.
Yes, especially the 30% of free Negroes (3000) in New Orleans who owned slaves…with the largest of the Negro slave owners having 152 slaves.
“Global Research”?
What’s next?
Links to Alex Jones and 9/11 Truther sites?
“Leaving wage”.
W H O A, awesome.
Said in de Niro voice: You … you’re good YOU.
Expect to see this poached big time. Go viral as they say.
I see “It’s probably nothing” in quite a few places which I believe is a Kateism.
No. Gavin McInnnes. Little less global:

too bad, you lose.
by extension, would it be that the result of the jobs going overseas, the newly unemployed 15 dollar workers follow the jobs, ie emigrate to wherever?
will they earn their 15 bucks there or wind up with even less than the stateside pre 15 dollar rate?
if indeed they do emigrate en masse, is that not a good thing? mass migration seems to be a umm, ‘flash point[?]’ amongst hard core lefties.
I always ask if 15$ an hour is good, why isn’t 30$ an hour better. I usually get the lefttard stare
