MINIMUM WAGE HIKE

I’m sure you’ve seen it in the news, California and New York State passing $15 a hour minimum wage hikes ( with places like Seattle talked about prior to that ).  Inevitably, like the strike drones of the Limbaugh Army To Save The Rich that they are, 99% of the responses are “the commies are taking over the country and now there won’t be any more jobs and The Free Market wouldn’t work this way and we need Ayn Rand for President”.  Now, I have nothing against the free market-not that we ever had one in this country.  I love Ayn Rand, bat crap crazy as she was she was also the only true advocate for freedom that ever became so popular and stayed that way ( it’s too bad we had to give the job to a foreigner but there wasn’t any crazy White boys willing to spend ten to fifteen years rewriting a tome to such perfection you would never have any idea it was the work of a English As A Second Language author ).  Rush Limbaugh I don’t hate too personally, even if I felt betrayed for having fallen for his bullcrap as a young lad, but I call Lies, Damn Lies And Statistics on almost everything he says.

No, what bothers me with most folks response to the minimum wage hike controversy is that they so obviously point an accusing finger at the wrong parties and allow the guilty to roam free and dream up other acts of mayhem unmolested.  Socialists in the state governments might very well want minimum wage workers to make much more money, but socialists in local governments don’t pass the laws they want to pass or that they campaign about passing, but rubber stamp those laws they are told to pass ( and like it! ).  It is as simple as that.  At some small level of governance, mere bribery and greed rule.  Moving up the food chain, those politicians selected as controllable are given money to “win” the election.  Just because the money comes from corporations of course means those companies have a small say in the government, but they are still just the front men taking the blame for the dismal state of our democracy ( our Republic long ago turned into a democracy, which it never should have, but now we don’t even get that any more ).  Then above that level is the federal government who pretty much own all the states.  It used to be, back in that fabled Republic, the States were supreme and the Feds had very limited powers.  Now the roles are reversed.  States have practically no power, other than to be worse than the Feds-but NEVER better.  All the III%’ers and other assorted patriots talk crap about states rights and will never pick up their coveted shiny Black Plastic State Sponsored Imperial Carbine to make it a reality again.  Smart move, blowhards.  No revolution succeeds with the peoples help without starvation.

But above the Feds you have the central bank and whoever owns that.  I won’t get into that right now, we’ve covered that many times and I might end up writing a too-long article that strayed far from its mission statement, but just take away from the above that the governors of California or New York State have as much effect on real power and politics as a fart does on a hurricane.   If they were told to increase the minimum wage, they do so gladly, doggedly clutching at their taxpayer subsidized riches and with giddy delight scream out, “please sir, have we have another!?”.  They are superficial whores, made up hussies whose only purpose in life is to help pacify the masses as they assist in screwing them with as large a girth size dildo as possible ( help me out here girls.  Width is far superior to length, am I right? ).

Now, to me it would seem like the obvious candidate for passing a minimum wage hike ( here forth abbreviated MWH as my brain keeps fumbling over all the m’s and n in the first word and I’m trying to write and whole damn article here and simply have NO damn time to finger fumble over one particular crusty word ) would be the corporations.  Sure, they pay more per employee, but they are guilty nonetheless.  You see this all the time, the big corporations increasing costs on themselves because the small competitors can’t afford it ( for instance, disallowing raw milk, a small farmer must invest in a lot of expensive machinery.  The big corporate farmer is easily financed for his machines, and they allow economics of scale, AND there are no mom and pop competition ).  How many small independent restaurant owners will go out of business when their labor costs double or triple ( I leave out of the discussion those states allowing waitresses to be paid far under minimum wage laws, the sad excuse being that the galley wenches receive gratuities-exploit single moms, much? )?  But in the meantime, your corporate owned eatery is automating their help.

Sure, robots are worse than a retard quadriplegic on a skateboard in some tasks, like anything not routine which is all you’d expect from complaining customers, more angry at themselves for being fat and stupid enough to eat frozen soy and corn syrup pseudo-farm animal slop instead of preparing better closer to wholesome food at home far cheaper so they tend to act out at the restaurant, but how hard is it, really, to do away with at least half the positions in the place?  If you don’t care who your wait person is, because you won’t get a decent one anyway as they all just had their workload doubled as half were laid off, and instead of partitioning out customers to waitresses equally to insure equal tips the staff now doesn’t care if they get more tables filled, the customers just seat themselves.  There will be more ready to microwave dishes with everything prepped at a distant factory to decrease the work of the cook, and the waitress will now be scrapping the plates and loading the dishwasher herself.  In the cheaper places, you order from a machine and pay first, prior to sitting.  In fancier places, during rush times I’d expect to see an abbreviated menu, dishes offered for the sameness in their preparation ( no rare or medium of over-hard ), perhaps an ordering machine at the table, all dishes a simple number to push ( with self-serve drink dispenser for all )-then your waitress doesn’t need to take orders.  You need a dish deliverer and a table clearer.  I’d even expect a debit card swipe at the table to pay prior to the order going to the kitchen.

See how easy that was?  Of course, expect the upgrades to be expensive, under guise of public health regulations, to reward the big guys and penalize the mom and pops.  When retards go to school for an MBA, the only lesson they learn is Growth Uber Alles!  That is all they need to know, other than how to be a crook.  Growth above all else-period.  Corporations actually don’t get the old joke-”we’ll make up for lost profits in volume”.  They keep growing until they aren’t profitable anymore.  They would love to have expensively furnished machine/robot heavy food serving stations, without local individual competition.  Now, granted, I’m a bit lost on how this benefit’s the FedGov ( much higher unemployment ), unless they WANT more unemployed masses slurping at the bread and circus trough as a form of control.  And I suppose the central bank benefits from extending loans out to mega-corporations for all the new equipment and growth.  Although I admit to being less than sure the motivations of the Top Dogs to pass the MWH, I propose to you, loyal minions, that there is definitely more to this story than socialist politicians being the new Red Commie Menace of days past.
