What was his age, that's what you neglected to say before.........I asked like 3 times and my guess is currently 23-24.

why would that even matter?

mcdonald's in australia are paying their employees $17-$22 an hour and their big macs still cost the same.

in denmark they pay triple our min wage and the big macs are only a few dimes more.

your mythical $15 big mac scare argument is a load of horseshit. all the empirical evidence from all over the globe proves it.

A livable min wage linked to inflation is a good thing.

My guesses, purely based on your information are that min wage was linked to inflation in Australia in 2009-2010 and that your son is 23-24 years of age.

Right or wrong?

How the fk did we get onto bloody Mcdonalds anyway..its crap food. Only time id go to it is on a road trip or to grab a Sunday.

Get a beater meal for less at Subway or pay the same and go to a pub for a counter meal.

When was min wage linked to inflation? I don't want to google it. Do you know? I am guessing 2009 or 2010 based on your 3 charts.

Well I'm paying attention and I appreciate your efforts to educate.

Americans are idiots, by and large.

Most of the stuff he is asking has no relevance to this thread. Its just a distraction and its giving me the shits. Im over him.

If min wages always rose with the cost of living then it would be all normal and the working poor would be spending any disposable income in the economy. We wouldnt be having this debate and the problem would not of existed.

Thanks, I will look into that. FWIW several US states have indexed their wages to inflation.

twostrokenut · Jun 21, 2017

Looks like the Fair Work Act of 2009..........I will read it over tomorrow so I can try to impress my new boyfriend @Lucky Luke

its not indexed to inflation..although it has been I think. That could be dangerous.

20% smaller but cheaper by 75cents. (which off the top of my head is 20% cheaper ish) If you google the answer and not go for a bad pic.

I havent had a Big mac in donkeys years, i normally grab a Gourmet Angus ^

But we eat less in portion sizes in everything. The world knows Americans eat heaps.

American portion sizes are bigger so as to subsidize the health insurance companies and pharmaceuticals. Then once the average American has been bled dry, they die early from complications arising from a lifetime of overeating, such as diabetes.

You know, this comment started out as a sarcastic jest but now I'm not so sure...

I'm sick of of all this winging too.

What will increasing the minimum accompish?

Make a lot of workers very happy, and boost the economy

Cost jobs and drive businesses into bankruptcy

Nothing
