What? You gotta problem with the economic policies of the Weimar Republic. Wages and profits were going up by the day! Who in his right mind wouldn't want that?

Doubtful. Anyone that would work for $2.31 would not know what to do with $223.

They could figure it out in the Weimar republic. I'd read that the wheelbarrow industry was booming at the time to handle all the cash they needed to buy a loaf of bread.

Thank goodness today we'd just need interac machines with wider screens or a way to type exponents.

I was speaking to my Chiropractor the other day and his office is in a little strip mall. He said that he was talking to one of the business owners in the mall and that guy says he didn't realize how even a $1 increase an hour was going to affect his business. He's open 7 days a week for 12 hours each day. He's feeling the bite already and there's more to come.


So, if he's feeling the pinch, he's likely to decrease the number of employees, his hours or both. Maybe not now, but certainly in the future. It'll be interesting for sure!

It sure isn't rocket science is it? Are you going to be rushing out to buy a hamburger for $20? A cup of coffee for $5?

Let the market dictate the minimum wage.. get rid of it all together..

In Texas a waitress makes $2.23 hr still. Live off your tips or starve.

Legislating minimum wage is the stupidest thing Gov't. could do. (Like a lot of other sh*t they do)
