It must be a magical time to be a racist

ya i am too. look you have this automated factory it still creates these minimum wage jobs. Some in the factory itself (like security, maintenance, and sanitation), some in the industries serving the non minimum wage people it hires (the IT doods and managers need barbers or whatever), some in the industries that have to provide the raw material for the factory to work (and the truckers that have to transport it)

If you look at the economy as a whole these fully automated factories still create jobs it is just spread over different locations.

it creates far fewer minimum wage jobs than it destroys.......

Yet our economy has declined to a state where the stereotype of the minimum wage worker being the young person living with their parents is no longer the reality. The median person making minimum wage now is a 30 year old single mom.

who's probably also living with her parents.......though I suspect your claim about the median is pure fiction......granted the age is going up, but that's because many 24-25 year olds are still in college nowdays........my son went back to college part time and he's nearly 30.....

why not make all inner cities tax free zones for any industrial development?.......

If by that you mean eliminate import/export duties sure...why limit it to inner cities? That would probably just create brownfield exploitation situation in poor neighborhoods. Why not permit it in all the one horse small towns where the local factories have died due to globalization as well? I wouldn't have problems with that as long as certain criteria are met. Those being that the applicable local environmental and labor standards are abided by and that the companies receiving such tax exemptions assume the full costs of their operations so they can't hold the tax payers hostage, I'd be ok with that.

You're wrong Wacko. That's another one of those modern GOP "If I say something often enough it becomes true" talking points. The minimum wage was created to provide a labor floor for remuneration that provided a minimum standard of living that provided for the basic necessities of life and to provide stability to the economy. At least that was the stated reasoning for the creation of the minimum wage by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.

Here is something for you to consider. With AI systems and automation proceeding at an ever faster rate to replace people, I can see a time maybe 15 years from now when Hispanic migrants will go back as there will be so few unskilled jobs left in the US.
 
I know I'm too simplistic and posting a meme instead of a real response I risk being ridiculed for being like SMKen, but this is what I see as the problem with the Detroits, Chicagos and other large and medium cities in our country. I disagree with the Obama reference and the 7 years reference because it goes back to Bill Clinton, GWBush and all, IMO. Oh, and I'm not nearly smart enough to know what the answer is either. Cawacko assures me that such jobs aren't coming back but I cannot fathom how a society can long exist without similar job (manufacturing, physical labor type) opportunities.

nobody "allowed" industries to go over seas......nobody can stop them.......but they wouldn't have gone if corporate taxes hadn't been some of the highest in the world and we all know who we can thank for higher taxes........

it's not taxes ( effective corp. taxes are not that high) it's profits -mostly cheap labor

They should. They are the fundamental cause for the illegal immigration problem. A ready source of cheap unskilled labor. You eliminate the demand and the supply goes away. Economics 101.

No, he's saying an increase in the minimum wage would put more young black men out of work. There's little evidence to support his assertion and lots of evidence to the contrary. That increasing the minimum wage would act as an economic stimulus and would create more jobs by putting more money in circulation.

if you truly believed this then you would be against illegal immigration and outsourcing because they directly remove money from circulation via remittances and companies using their profits in the US to invest abroad.

tldr you would be supporting trump instead of clinton.
