@hansw@mastodon.social Again, not purely economical, but it does use the economics as a atter of fact.

We already established that minimum wage increase causes the poorest and least skilled member of a society to loose their job and be unemployed... therefore how does loosing your job and have no sense of income equate to the scenario you describe where a person is able to spend time at home educating their kids and being stress free?

You seem to be ignoring the economics, and acting like it doesnt exist and then fabricating a "human" element that is dependent on those very economics yet contrary to the facts of it.

@hansw@mastodon.social See the problem is your argument is just as economical as mine, except yours is based on economics that is contrary to the reality, and mine is based on the observed data...

You are arguing that minimum wage improves the economic situation and thus allows people to stay at home and care for their kids and community, thats an economic argument. But it ignores the fact that the economics directly disagree with this and that instead those people who are the poorest and the least capable of doing this are now out of a job, so it makes the reality you envision less possible, not more possible.

Mine to is based on economics and a similar vision, but based on the actual observed data. I recognize people loose their jobs that need it most when minimum wage increases, and since i want people to be happy and to be able to be at home more and take care of the family and community I do not want to see minimum wage increases that are shown to jeopardize that possibility.
