Government, from time immemorial, was built up around the wealthy aristocrats, trade, economy, and money. Those that think that it has to do with human rights are mistaken. If Jefferson and Madison hadn't stepped in, there would be no legal human or natural rights within the US, as the new government, under the Federalists, was to be the "New Rome," and it was all about trade and protecting the economy. I'll give WJC credit, when he stated one fact: "It's about the economy, stupid!"

I find it fascinating how easy people forget things. Never once did Amazon advocate for a $15 dollar minium wage. Amazon was under constant scrutiny about how much harder they work their employees and how much money Amazon makes. After they got enough bad press they finally changed it to $15 and acted like they made the decision all on their own. Everything mentioned in this video are the moves Amazon made after being forced to change their wage.

not to mention increasing minimum wage isnt a solution i am from Turkey when i was 9-10 (around early 2010) years old i helped my father's little business in 3 day i gained 400 TL (its Turkey's currency) which was around 300 dollar then government started increasing minimum wages year after years everything went downhill it caused printing more money, corruption, inflation etc not to mention small businesses slowly started to dying and big businesses became even bigger now 1 dollar is 32 TL so nowadays 300 dollar is equal to 9600 TL which i cant gain in 3 days that would be possible only in 20 days

no, they are not. google Index of Economic Freedom Wikipedia map. africa is red. northern Europe is green. asia, red. chile is only green in south America. south europe, yellow. africa is mostly run by dictators who put giant bureaucracy up. their business model is keeping their people suffering, so ngos and western countries send money to them, dictators buy mansions in Europe, repeat forever. even china is not green, which means , china could potentially be much more wealthy! india is red, too. pretty funny and racist to assume some place with a 1 billion people does not have a single hard worker in it.

@@henlofren7321 i would have agreed with you but it isnt bcz of their nature bcz you can say same thing about Europeans and European descendants bcz new generations embraces socialist ideas highly as well... problem with Africa is they were far behind when it comes to advancement and they got conquered/colonized then colonizers didnt create a education system would help them as well so there wasnt any skilled or educated workforce thus there wasnt prudctivity... Europeans didnt colonize Africa for benefits or productivity anyways it was bcz of ego competition among European powers in fact they invested more money than they got when colonialism was over when African countries got their independence they quickly got rid of European skilled workers etc and ideas of western Europe and north America bcz to them it was act of decolonization on top of that they adopted 50 shades of socialism which damaged and impoverished them even more only African leader of the time that i know didnt follow this tradition of other African leaders was Botswana's leaders and now despite having no major natural resources or having access to ocean Botswana is still better off than majority of Africa... and let us not forget bcz other countries that surrounds Botswana has 50 shades of socialism didnt made easy for them to trade with neighbouring countries either so imagine if neighbouring countries followed Botswana and embraced capitalism...

Exactly - and it significantly increases labor costs which means businesses will only want to hire a select few highly skilled people. In other words, with such a high minimum wage it instantly excludes low skilled prospects from being hired. And, ironically, who does that affect the most? Blacks, Hispanics, and lower income areas that are more poorly educated and without work ethics. Literally speaking, it could make things WORSE for the communities the left claims they want to help...

However, begs to question why the food industry still allows a percentage of unhealthy stuff in food products today.
