    and that 'extra' money (from increasing the minimum wage) is going to circulate which is going to stimulate demand which is going to provide growth which will result in more jobs being created... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    so the fact that productivity increases aren't going to the worker tells us that the market is almost certainly being manipulated... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    the ford example shows - counter-intuitively - that sometimes it is the right thing for a business to do to increase its basic wage. it worked for ford - it could work for the us... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    because the minimum wage has been increased. which is the point i made in the first place. increase in minimum wage (in this example) leads to a fourfold increase in productivity... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  9. dreamdancer
    which is true. what is also true is that 'at this point in time' the benefit of productivity increases (an increase in real wages) are not being passed onto the worker. whereas you said productivity increases benefit 'everyone'. which is it to be? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    so you don't think that checkout example is correct? Your checkout example is flawed. not my example - someone else presented it as a critique... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    i don't get your point. you say that productivity increases help 'everyone' in the economy. i say that is the theory but that in recent decades productivity increases haven't helped 'everyone' - just the rich. the opposite of what you predict... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    that's the theory - but recently the rich have subverted that principle - productivity increases are going to the rich - not the worker. how do you explain that? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    i've never said corporations are evil - i've called them 'amoral'. i've pointed out they have government sanctioned 'limited liability' - the rest is your imagination. the whole of my model is contained within my novel (the universal announcer) - but that's a lot more words than can be fitted here. i'm glad you realise the importance of productivity - it's taken a while to get you to see this. we are now in agreement that raising the minimum wage will increase productivity

    Yes! That's my point. yes, we see that you know nothing about political thought...

    you haven't acknowledged a productivity increase. is there a productivity increase or not? using your arguement miners would still be using picks and shovels. remember that extra disposable income which is now circulating, boosting the economy - that's what is going to employ the unemployed... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
