You mean it's possible to find mathematically significant numbers to calculate how much stress on the economy a certain action
might(and i should mention I use the term might here very mightily) bear? Jesus. I didn't learn that in econ 101 and I haven't at all mentioned that in my previous posts at all and it couldn't possibly have been what i meant about a general number or anything like that. It couldn't have possibly been about gathering together the significant numbers.
What you're saying is that this is significant to the
employees. No shit, that's why it's a
wage increase. You increase the employees wage. Thanks for cracking the mystery though.
But hey, let's go a step further and pay attention to the problem at hand: Will this 21% wage increase effect the economy in a bad way? I doubt it. Nobody cares if this is significant to the employees(which is why it was rejected) they care if it's significant to the economy. So shut the fuck up already, learn to pay attention to what's
actually going on.
Everybody knows it's a 21% increase, why? because they said it's a one dollar increase when it was five dollars before(1/5, i think everyone understands fractions). But thanks for enlightening all of us with your magical percentages that are supposed to sway our feelings on this subject.
21% is a magical number because you've shown in absolutely no way how it's relevant to the actual case at hand, you've merely presented shallow knowledge(for no reason, because everybody could tell that the wages were increasing, that's why it was called a wage increase) that has absolutely no detail associated with it and no actual connection to the issue.
It's like you're holding an electric plug in your hand with no socket in sight, wondering why your lamp won't turn on...
My point about 21% possibly being ECONOMICALLY INSIGNIFICANT (notice how i didn't say wagefully insignificant) is like how the gravity of pluto is entirely irrelevant to the sun because the sun's gravity is so much bigger it makes pluto's gravity insignificant no matter how significant it is to the moons. Guberment/corporations=sun -- minimumwageworkers=pluto/moons
I mean, that's just an example.. who knows if it's actually significant, a 21% increase could be very significant,
but you can't show how which makes your point insignificant.
I like how you debate an issue about the economy with information that may or may not bear any weight on it, though. That's really clever of you.
