Minister acknowledges 'challenges' to families as daycares raise costs due to minimum

[mentalfloss]

so how does inflating costs help the poor?

Cause they're affordable.

 

[White_Unifier]

He's got you cornered.

Mentalfloss thinks we need to raise the minimum wage to match inflation. Dog, chase your tail! Faster! Faster! Faster!

Can they're affordable.

Huh?

 

[mentalfloss]

Mentalfloss thinks we need to raise the minimum wage to match inflation. Dog, chase your tail! Faster! Faster! Faster!

You're talking to yourself again.

 

[White_Unifier]

You're talking to yourself again.

Had you foreseen that raising the minimum wage would push prices up?

 

[mentalfloss]

We already knew prices would go up affordably.

Hence, why this isn't a big problem for anyone.

 

[White_Unifier]

We already knew prices would go up affordably.

Don't increased prices just undo any of the benefits of a minimum-wage increase?

 

[mentalfloss]

No, they don't.

Because the increase is affordable to everyone.

Liek duhh

Don't live in a shithole like Toronto and you can afford to have one of the parents stay home with the kids

But I thought raising the minimum-wage was supposed to solve everything like a fairy solves everything.

That's because you're naive.

 

[White_Unifier]

That's because you're naive.

So what was the purpose of raising the minimum wage again?

 

[Cannuck]

But I thought raising the minimum-wage was supposed to solve everything like a fairy solves everything.

How would raising the minimum wage make TO "not a shithole"

How would raising the minimum wage make TO "not a shithole"

According to the government, it was supposed to suddenly make everything affordable by magically raising the minimum wage without any negative side effect. Like magic.

And how's Toronto a shithole when I've never seen shit there except in toilet bwls. What part of Toronto did you visit?

To you have a link to that policy statement?

 

[mentalfloss]

So what was the purpose of raising the minimum wage again?

To raise the standard of living for a certain group of people.

 

[White_Unifier]

To you have a link to that policy statement?

Well, Wynne sure acted surprised when Tim Horton's reacted like she never saw it coming. No comment on daycares yet except that they're experiencing some 'challenges.' Just wait!

Considering the increase is only $30 a month, that's a huge Win for Wynne.

Ok, so your imagination...

 

[mentalfloss]

Ok, I just double checked and was slightly off.


The difference is $40, not $30 a month.


That's definitely affordable for a minimum wager who just got an increase.
