Business groups claim hard-fought $20 hourly wage victory will cause reduced hours, layoffs

David Card was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for showing that this isn’t true.

(The study (PDF warning))

What was special about this research that won the guy the award?

According to Card:

the thing that has really influenced the field is the idea of looking for these pivotal events or things that have happened that could potentially inform our theorizing and understanding of the world.

That is to say, they actually looked at real world examples and compared (meaning they actually included evidence in their reasoning) rather than assuming it must be so based on neoclassical economic assumptions.

For all the emotion she was trying to convey it sure never touched her eyes.

Such as you and the previous commenter? With zero prompting?

I gave up on finishing those books years ago. It’s been long enough I hardly remember what happened in the last one and the next one isn’t even on the horizon as far as I can tell. It’s not happening.

Coming back to it now, I see where you were coming from. That’s my bad, sorry.

This is a primary, not the general. If now is not the time to make moves to apply pressure, then when? If there’s never a good time, then nevermind Trump, your democracy is already dead.

Not everyone fell for the lies. It’s a re-writing of history to suggest that everyone was all aboard with the war in Iraq. That war was preceded by the largest protests ever to occur up until that point. I personally recall Hans Blix, the UN official responsible for weapons inspections in Iraq at that time, repeatedly telling us that there was no evidence of such weapons programs. The New York Times should presumably be at least as questioning as my, at the time, 18 year old self. Particularly since I turned out to be right.

What’s yours? Are you suggesting Jewish folks can’t stand against Israel?

Seems like you’re doing exactly what you’re accusing others of, here?

“Eligible” you note skeptically? Yes. Unfortunately, there are a ton of imposed legal restrictions defining when, who, and how we do this. So while our goal is to give all redditors the same access to stock as institutional investors (why should they have all the fun?), our lawyercats can confirm we must follow specific rules explained below.

Really angling for a certain demographic, huh?

Are there no laws about public officials accepting gifts from the community there? Or, you know, bribery? I’ve had public service jobs a lot less important than that and I’d have had a big headache accepting a $25 gift card from a community member let alone an additional yearly salary.

This is the truth. If you want the industry to change, don’t go to restaurants who do the tipping model. If you go to these places and don’t tip in some misguided attempt to change things, guess what. The owner just felt zero difference. They got paid 100% what they were expecting. It’s the waitstaff who just felt it. So why would the restaurant owner, the guy with the power to change things and not notable for giving a shit about their staff, care about your protest at all? Assuming they notice which they aren’t going to.

The only way to actually mount financial pressure on these places is to not go to them.

Of course, I assume most people who claim to be not tipping as some form of protest against the system just want to take advantage of the lower prices allowable by the lowered wage that waitstaff receive while claiming to be doing it for some higher purpose.

This is the fundamental flaw with conceiving of politics as points on a line. “Moderates” aren’t actually in the middle of things. They are their own political philosophy. But it’s not as though you add communism and fascism together and divide by two and you get neoliberalism. They are all distinct philosophies.

I need you to do better and read the actual definition before spouting off about it.

Now if they could just take this lesson and apply it to the rest of the ‘information’ that is supplied by the media environment they have immersed themselves in.
