"...economy crashing. It was about unemployment resulting. "
Economy and employment have absolutely nothing to do with eachother.
Just because the economy isn't completely crashing(which will probably NEVER EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD HAPPEN, it can ALWAYS recover) doesn't mean it's not taking hits. What form might those hits take? Unemployment, maybe? I don't know what else you'd call a bad economy. Because the economy is so fucked up, in ohio the unemployment rate is shit. I mean come on man, use your fucking brain.
Employment and economy are pretty well connected. Why? Because the economy relies on the employees, and the businesses(which rely on the employees). Remember how complicated the economy is..lots of variables... yea. Mr. econ101.
I don't care about your magic number. I just thought it was funny when you presented it like it was some shocking thing, and wondered how exactly you thought it supported your argument that wages were increased by 21%(or a dollar) which was clearly stated in the article and in everyone else's post.
I think what most people are confused about is the fact that there has been alot of Inflation and bad economy already, and alot of people can't really afford to live. Has there been an increase in wages? Nope.
Like other people have said, there's alot of states where minimum wage is already higher, and most of those states are in better condition than the others. However, alot of states(like nevada) don't really need a higher wage, they already don't have state taxes which kind of balances things out. But then, who knows, even they could still be struggling. I wouldn't know, I don't live there.
"Put up or shut up man, where is the solid numerical proof that minimum wages increases cure genital herpes?"
While there is no cure for genital herpes, it is possible to control it. With an increase in minimum wage, you can afford the medicine you need. Please, vote for Jesus.
