You are wrong in your argument, whether or not Ford was right in raising the pay of his decreased workforce 60 years ago. From a business perspective if teh government forced a doubling of minimum wage, I would fire half my staff and force the other half to work twice as hard. Result, productivity up, unemployment up, Economy in tank. you agree that your productivity would double... still idiodic - half the staff, twice the effort (if even possible) would just cancel out. AND have the added benefit of the other half being unemployed - so the remaining employees would have less take home pay to support the out of work population ...

that's just idiodic - by definition, they don't add up. You can't legislate productivity, it has to be driven by a competitive nudge. Your little theory would seriously hamper productivity and make things so much worse - put a huge percentage out of work, AND ruin the businesses that are left. you can reference the last thread where you took this tangent and go poke at that ...

"A Level Playing Field" is exactly the scenario where this doesn't work. Micro, it works (for company B) "If I work harder, I can get the pay at Company B and leave my low paying Company A job." Macro, it sucks "why should I work harder for my pay increase here at Company A, Thanks to DreamDancer, I already get paid the same vs going to Company B or any of the other companies" - then both (all) have to lay off a lot of people or go out of business.

That's not substantiated in any way. you just as well print enough dollars to just pay off the debt then - no one will notice and the economy will just churn along happily devaluation of the US Dollar is just what every OTHER economy needs to get a temporary boost - before crashing along with us. ...

absolutely true however, you are not making that case - you are making the case that increased wages will increase productivity - which is only true on a preferential basis - changing the law would invalidate that - it would take what works on a local (small portion of the market) level and try to make it work on a macro (everyone) level. non-starter. even a caveman can understand that your premise is truly idiocy, or a hidden agenda to devalue the currency ...

Claiming the substantial technology improvements in manufacturing substantially provided an edge for a single company to outperform its competitors is absolute heresy. Logic and truth is not allowed in this church. Please stick with the unsubstantiated theory that raising the minimum wage in a single company is a good example of how that same action will work when forced on ALL companies in the world at the same time. Despite the fact that doing so on everybody results in no specific advantage to any of the companies. Despite common sense. Despite any economic benefit. It's essentially a request to print vast amounts of cash for no reason other than to devalue the dollar significantly. ...

Nice selective list. I don't suppose you want to include pouring trillions into Iraq or giving millions in sweetheart deals to Halliburton, do you? Thought so. So are you ready to extend that list back for how many administrations? Today's list is applicable for today. I suspect those misdeeds got plenty of time on these board 4 years ago.

3 mals - depends on the scenario 1st - CrW Wrap - looked at it several times - discussed the issue with the other pilot, worked on the wrap, discussed where tonight's party might be, worked on the wrap a bit more - argued about cutting away too soon - came to an agreement - cut away 2nd - Slow speed mal (tangled steering line) - looked at it several times while seeing if it was landable - cut away with plenty of time 3rd - High speed mal (some kind of container lock) - didn't look, elbowed the rig a couple times and then straight to sliver. ...

And I live 30 miles south of LA. Bats per square mile are fractional at best. Same for cows. isn't the area overrun with moonbats? The area I live in is one of the most conservative in the entire US. Staunch Republican and the seat of power for a number of Christian Mega-Churches. that actually sounds pretty moonbatty to me too - though I am guilty of playing on the 'standard' LA stereotype for a quick chuckle As someone who started out in the midwest and then moved all over the country, I consider you can preach about misconceptions about California culture all you like - I'll just chuckle as I watch: -the same people talk about "flyover land", -the euros here talk about the US as if it was a cookie cutter culture country the same size as theirs, -and read about redneck-land, red, and blue states -that and how everybody in business is one type of person -that and how everybody with and R or D in their leanings is exactly the same and purely evil (or good) -that, and how every person of faith has the exact same bias -that, and how every atheist is an angry denier -etc etc etc, ad nauseum it's pretty much speaker's corner SOP - it's a shame ...

I think that's a great point - I get really upset when I see a decent discussion about cutting spending, and then, SUDDENLY, the politician throws out this - "we really need to make cuts consistent with our culture and ideology" WRONG - this is a clear symptom that our spending has nothing to do with what's right for the country, it's just a big pile of social engineering and political favoritism (and this is not restricted to one party at all) in a country where people can do a much better job taking care of themselves. across the board cuts - indescriminately - to start.
