    were you aware you were replying to yourself? or maybe you just got a bit confused.

    Poster saying Sanders min $15/hr would double present min wage. So who works for €6/hr and what society thinks it acceptable?

    Different country, different currency, different tax rate, different everything.

    Just because Ireland is x and somewhere else is y. It means nothing.

    More money per hour but less people employed. 1.3 million less

    Did the introduction of a minimum wage in Ireland lead to job losses. And business owners say they can't afford a minimum wage. Well frankly f**k them. If you can't run a business that pays your staff a minimum wage then you shouldn't be in business. There are plenty of companies that can run a business and pay a minimum wage.

    But did the introduction of minimum wages and the various small increases over the years lead to business closures?

    This is related to the Joe Biden presidency in the United states of America.

    If I posted about wages in India or Azerbaijan I'd be told to get back on topic

    Easily comparable with the states though.
    But you have a habit of ignoring questions that show your argument and concerns are faux ones.
    Still waiting on your answer about the Florida gov manipulating their covid stats for example.

    You implied in this post that Ireland both introducing and gradually increasing the minimum lead to significant business closures. You were asked this because you are implying that that would also happen in America so it indeed relevant to this thread. We are now asking you for your source to this claim.

    Not at all comparable. Not in the slightest. Not even a little bit. Totally different country, economy , culture and everything else.

    I have a habit of ignoring comparisons that people make up but aren't relevant

    I didn't say anything about Ireland and minimum wage. Not once

    So if it's so obviously not comparable, you can easily explain to us why it worked in Ireland but it wouldn't work in America.

    You didn't refute what was said in your reply to the post about Ireland.

    You have a habit of ignoring facts, and posts that highlight your faux arguments and concerns.

    Good lord.

    Well I refute it now. 100% refute. Wouldn't even consider it

    Close them all down.

    I don't agree that Ireland is the same as the United states.

    You haven't presented any facts. Not a single one.
    You have pushed your dodgy comparison which I refute

    No but you avoided answering the first question that was asked of you here, but I seem to have forgotten that you are one of the posters that has a tendency to completely ignore questions, so that's on me.

    Lidl and Aldi seem to be doing very well and growing in Ireland and their min is the Living Wage, not min wage.

    I cant back and forth with 5 people at once. I'm extra wary now because you think if someone doesn't refute a statement then they automatically agree with it.

    It's just one point. Raising the min wage is either the right or wrong thing to do.
