    Fucking liberals are still trying to make the excuse that it has to be implemented years from now because otherwise it will cause mass unemployment. How fucking many times does that claim have to be refuted? Fuck I hate liberals.

    EDIT: I'm still hung up on the fucking absurdity of this talking point, like seriously, "naw dawg, businesses need a whole four years to figure out how to adjust their pay-scales otherwise they'll only be able to respond by fucking firing everyone en-masse, leaving them with drastically reduced ability to meet demand."

    Fucking nevermind the fact that various places have locally increased min-wages without such issue, nevermind the various economic studies finding that no, actually more money means increased demand because people have more money to buy shit, and that can actually produce more employment later on to meet that increased demand, you dumb fucking cunts.
