So I was walking to work the other day when a man approached me...

Which is why you bothered to keep replying to me, right?

Does the thread revolve around Kuciwalker? No, it does not. Your post is some sideshow that is a minor detail in what I wanted to talk about.

When you're replying to my posts, the actual content of my posts is slightly relevent...

Now, you tell me why it is a good idea to have poor people have less purchasing power?

Now, who's the strawman? Did I ever say it was a bad thing? At wort, I said, it causes inflation and results in no net effect.

[Ted Striker]

Slightly relevent, but not very important.

[Kuciwalker]

Obviously not to people for whom a simple or is a real substantive argument...

Man up, dude, you think it's a bad idea.

Or I guess all those posts about it being "a meaningless computer bit," were unopinionated.

Oh man... Ted got PWNED!

[Ted Striker]

You let little kids fight for you Siddiqui?

Maybe YOU will be man enough to tell me why you think it's a great idea that poor people should have less purchasing power.

[Imran Siddiqui]

When they are PWNing you that badly, sure .

I see no need to break up the fun.

Because of course the insistence that money has no inherent value means that I think raising the minimum wage is necessarily bad

[Ted Striker]

Nice sidestep though.

You said all it does is raise inflation. (Which you never proved, by they way).

Inflation is caused by many factors.

Cute, from the person who lost and then pretended he wasn't even arguing about it in the first place.

You're right, I never did prove it, assuming you don't actually read my whole string of posts on the previous page.

Inflation is caused by many factors.

And this is one of them.

Keep shuffling and prove it.


By the way, during the minimum wage freeze, purchasing power for minimum wage earners went down, while inflation kept going up. Kinda defeats your whole theory.

So, prices kept going up, and products kept becoming more and more expensive for these people to buy.

Any inflationary effects that a minimum wage might have are just a drop in the hat compared with the overall economic situation.

By the way you never answered my question, is the minimum wage good or bad?

If the minimum wage's intrusive impact becomes too high , then I'd say that corporations should mechanize and get rid of humans in the lower skill areas . Machines don't demand minimum wages . No fuss , no mess .

Man, the real Ted Striker would never have gotten punked like that. Pinko Striker...
