More money in the pockets of entry-level workers sounds great, but Rachel Greszler of the conservative Heritage Foundation argues that such workers, and the economy writ large, are hurt more than helped by increases in the minimum wage.

    I’ll gladly have an adult conversation as soon as you convince me you’re doing so in good faith. Until then I’m being just as productive in this thread as your responses have been

    You won’t, you don’t have anything to defend your claim other than “FDR said so, so it must be true”. You’ve resorted to pretending to take some moral stance.

        The only source you’ve provided is an FDR quote. I have provided evidence of what FDR did. There’s an old saying actions speak louder than words.

            The other user only provided FDR quotes, which is not in contention. You however have not provided any other material except a link you claim proves your point… but naturally it doesn’t which is probably why you didn’t quote anything in the article.

            This is a step in the right direction for you, you’re not making up excuses as to why you can’t provide information. I can only assume you didn’t comprehend the article but at least you tried.

                lol I comprehend my own sources just fine, you just don’t like the information.

                Strange that you can’t provide the quote that proves your point

                The link provided is from the very department that defines and enforces minimum wage law. I’m pretty sure they know what the fuck it’s meant for, as well as the President who led its advancement through congress.

                Your literacy issues strike again, I have not disputed the accuracy of the link just the information you claim is in there is not.

                Once again you have not produced a quote of the information you claim proves your point. Here is a link to my source that totally proves everything I said. https://www.wikipedia.org/

                    Hahahaha you can’t even be bothered to send an actual relevant link, or recite your actual problems with the sources because there is no problem, you just don’t like them

                    I see my point of linking to Wikipedia.org went right over your head, I should have expected that.

                    You can’t just throw away a source because you don’t like the information and won’t read it. That just makes you stubborn and ill-informed. 🤣

                    I did read it and there’s nothing showing FDR supporting a $0.40 rate and it being opposed for the $0.40 rate, there were a whole host of other reasons but not the rate.

                    I’m not your mom. You want a bedtime story? Go read it yourself.

                    I see you’re back to claiming you have evidence but refuse to provide it because … reasons. It’s so strange that this constantly happens to you, it’s almost like you’re full of shit and can’t back it up.
