Seriously this is hilarious

What point is that, exactly.
lol do we need to spell out the math for you guys?
Let's pay more per hour, but give less hours = less employment.
true min wage = $0.
Bernie is, as usual, so so stupid when it comes to math. He didn't want to pay his people his stupid wage. Now that he realizes he kinda has to, he's going to cut their hours.
That's how it works. Every study on the minimum wage shows this.
But it's not good for the feelings, so...
"It does bother me that people are going outside of the process and going to the media," he [Bernie] said. "That is really not acceptable. It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it's improper."
And yet he, as a 3rd party with no stake in the game, never has an issue injecting himself into the process of other organizations
Yeah...
lol
that woman is out there
i bet having drinks with her or doing drugs with her would be amazing

Confirmed. How great is this??
But, er, every study on minimum wage does not say that. As a lot of states and municipalities have raised minimum wages in the last few years, there’s more and better data on the subject.
And I’m really not sure that working fewer hours for the same net pay is really some kind of burn. Actually, it seems like a win. Given the same net pay, I’d rather work 38 hours than 43.

The new NPR/Marist poll is a disaster for Democrats.
If Bernies central tennent that these people need a wage hike in order to survive, how does not increasing their net pay accomplish this?
Also. Why wasn't Bernie paying them $15 before his staff demanded it and the media got wind of it?
This guy demands every single company do this bit when it's his money? Oh... well that's different of course
I'm not necessarily for universal healthcare, but I think people exaggerate the cost. You're already paying, on average about $500/month on a family plan. The universal plan would replace that cost, and it's possible it could even reduce for some families. For instance, in Canada, the average cost for a family making 60k a year is about 5,000/year (based on numbers from a 2016 report). That same family would likely pay more for health insurance in the US, based on the national average.
The costs manifest themselves in many ways. A cut back in hours, fewer fringe benefits, slower growth in new hires, possible layoffs.
The point is that there are always costs and trade offs of some kind, but one side of the debate wants to hijack it and ascribe moral superiority to their position.
