They have installed pay kiosks now and gotten rid of most of their manned registers. Robo burger is coming you know and that will mean less workers will be needed. In California, restaurants have either closed or reduced their workforce because of the high mandated wage per hour. See how Democrats never make things better for their citizens?
Who actually runs the government?

@vibise seems to be of the opinion that if someone is not capable of producing value equal to what ever she believes the minimum wage should be, that they should not be permitted to have a job in which they could develop the skills to be more valuable to an employer.
That is a despicably heartless political position to take.
Minimum wage and minimum productivity is exactly the same thing. So to say you're for minimum wage is to say you're for a minimum threshold of productivity beneath which people can't even get a job to learn how to be productive.

He started out with half a billion. If he just invested it in the stock market he would have done as good or better than he did in business.
Where am I arguing that more inflation stops inflation.
I am simply saying that if the minimum wage had been pegged to inflation, then it would be ~$24/hour now.

He made billions. More than you. Why are you critiquing him?
Let's say Trump's father gave him $200 million in 1970.
As I pointed out, many if not most of Trump's businesses failed, and he went into bankruptcy 6 times.
Given that there is a shortage of workers, this is not surprising.
And reducing labor costs is what businesses try to do, and moving to robotics is a lot better than severely underpaying actual workers.
Why are you imagining my opinions rather than asking what I think.
Where did I ever say that employees should "not be permitted to have a job in which they could develop the skills to be more valuable"?
Nowhere.
Even low level fast food jobs could potentially lead to a manager position.
In any case, people should be paid fair wages rather than funneling all profits to the top.
Many of his businesses failed, even casinos.
He went into bankruptcy 6 times.
He has been involved in over 3000 lawsuits, which is highly unusual.
His reputation as a dishonest conman was so widespread that he could not get any American banks to loan him money.
He was just found liable for massive financial fraud by a court.
He was forced to shutter his "university" and his charitable foundation for fraud.
His company's financial officer and his lawyer both did stints in prison.
In the course of his career, he cheated customers, contractors, employees and investors.
Not a praiseworthy career.
Most Democrat politicians never had any businesses in the private sector.
He availed himself of the bankruptcy laws. He stayed in business once he had time to regroup, and he did not put the people who worked for him out of work.
People who own businesses get sued all the time. They are seen as targets by people who are looking to make a buck.
Not believing that one. Banks make money by lending, so why would they turn down the business?
So he stayed and delt with it, what is the problem again?
The vendetta was ongoing..
And pray tell, tell us all Joey did besides hook up to the government teat for 50 years? Biden never had to make a payroll and have to deal with difficult businesspeople, plus he had the American press covering for him every step of the way.

That is par for the course in big business.
Many businesses do.
Not unusual for the length of time and number of transactions, in today’s world. Everyone wants to sue.
False. They wanted his money just like everyone else. They said they would have loaned to him again.
Charged.
Not his fraud.
He has worked with a lot of people over the years, and not all people are honest.
Proof?
In your critical, biased opinion. But then, you’re not a billionaire. It just comes across as sour grapes, vibise.

That is a lie. In fact I remember how Democrate liars said his Post office Hotel was illegal emoluments.
That means your people are idiots in accounting. They paid for "lodging" same as your Holiday Inn Express.

When you say "minimum wage" do you mean you're lowering peoples wages down to a minimum or you're raising peoples wages up to a minimum?
Now if you mean the former the only people who regularly make more money then they produce are government workers. In which case I wholeheartedly agree with minimum wage. Government workers definitely need to have their wages calibrated down to wage similar productivity would yield as a wage in the private market.
But I suspect what you actually mean is that you want peoples wages to be raised whether they can produce the requisite production that would warrant that wage on an open market or not. If you increase wages without a corresponding increase in productivity that is the very definition of inflation.
The fact that inflation has lowered the inflation adjusted minimum wage has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people having employment that would otherwise have no hope of being employed. With that employment comes experience which makes these people valuable and qualify for better compensated positions so that they can continue on the economic road of self improvement.
