No, it isn't an "opinion", it is what we call a "fact". The fact is that teens make-up less than 20% of MW workers.That is your opinion.

FFS, stop telling me how wrong I am when you have little to no knowledge of the topic YOU BROUGHT UP WITH ME.
Well there you are, MW workers should be in poverty since they are genetically inferior.just maybe they are being rewarded for what they are worth.

FFS con, you were one just a few posts ago avoiding how the poverty level is defined, let alone actually discussing how it is calculated.you prefer making the actual wage an issue not what the people spend.
Living below the reported poverty level doesn't mean one is living in poverty
LOL....Con, link to your "profit demand" definition.their profit demand is
OK...no response....so I will help you out.Guess another subject you know nothing about is profit demand.
Again, "profit demand" is something an owner calculates for himself, it is not a number a MW worker calculates for himself.Further there are many making minimum wage that aren't teens with low profit demand but that profit demand doesn't interest you
If you aint making $20 an hour, and getting at least 50 hours per week, you might as WELL be unemployed, cause what's happening is you are slowly starving to death. and that's about 3/4 of of the US population. That's WITHOUT a dependent wife or kids. With a couple of kids, you AND your wife better be grossing 100k per year, each. Or you HAVE to be either sucking the govt teat for the kid's education (a very poor one) or you are in other ways not raising the kids properly/not adequately preparing for your retirement/healthcare.

Can't you remember your argument from less than a half hour ago?
Quit avoiding discussing the typical MW worker.....but then......you don't know who the typical MW worker is.
LOL....Con, link to your "profit demand" definition.
OK...no response....so I will help you out.
"Profit demand" is a number a BUSINESS OWNER creates as a reward appropriate to the risk of running a business. It is not a number a MW worker calculates for his own personal interest.....since he is not a business owner.
Why you conflate it with MW to a MW worker is beyond me.
NO, you have constantly displayed a desire to talk about teens, they are not representative of MW workers.Unlike you I actually employed people and do indeed know who the Minimum wage worker is
Wrong, I have asked you multiple times to link to a definition.....and again, you were applying it to a concern of a MW worker:Wrong, profit demand is what the business owner needs in Gross profit to meet their personal and operating expenses of which payroll is an operating expense.
Further there are many making minimum wage that aren't teens with low profit demand but that profit demand doesn't interest you as you prefer making the actual wage an issue not what the people spend.That explains a lot showing how little you understand about what it takes for individuals to live on

So which is it con? Is "profit demand" something a MW worker calculates for himself, or a risk payment an owner calculates?
Go on and find a reference. Link to it.
...and again, (less than) 20% are not representative, aka "typical". This is the 2nd time I have told you this today.From BLS, 20% of the Minimum wage earners are teens
OK...I get it it, you have really no idea what you are talking about, you cannot reference it......and you are going to apply it differently to owners and individuals.Everyone has a profit demand even you. It applies to everyone, it is what you make in relationship to what you spend. You don't seem to understand the concept obviously never running anything or even handling your own expenses.
...and again, (less than) 20% are not representative, aka "typical". This is the 2nd time I have told you this today.
What difference would it make? You can't deal with the demographics of a typical MW worker to begin with......and you have no point.....at all.....which is....very typical of your posts.You have never told me how many people in a labor force of 155 million with 145 million working are making Federal minimum wage
Um, I think we covered this last year, and I would not expect you to have changed your opinion.....or show any further understanding of why we have a MW......so again, what is your point?and why it is your responsibility or the government's to tell a private business what to pay their employees? I am waiting.

Do you know what your point is?
Em...er....uh.....each of the states DO, in fact, set their own MW......to...um.....address the their COL.Do you think the cost of living is the same in each state?
with:It's also lunacy to suggest wages have been stagnant since the 1970's.
uh-huhRepost:
Versus....
Em...er....uh.....each of the states DO, in fact, set their own MW......to...um.....address the their COL.
But the idea in debating someone, is to address the premise of their original comment.
I replied to the comment:with:
so....are you ever going to make ANY point that relates directly to my response.....which I will remind you AGAIN....had next to nothing to do with MW?
