@UltrawokeMK @PeterMcCormack He's supposed to subsidise an uneconomic business out of his personal wealth?

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.
I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.
Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions
These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.
Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.
Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.
Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.
There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.
So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.
Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.
The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@Bwipo You could argue that having fewer tools to approach a wide variety of situations makes a champion harder to play, because you have to understand limits much deeper and pilot your champion in novel ways to compensate for said lack of tools.

@Sargon_of_Akkad @PolitlcsUK Just curious Carl, do you wake up every morning and know you're gonna be an absolute bellend or is it something you have to work on.

@PolitlcsUK This only speaks volumes about the audience the BBC clearly hand-picked to come on the Question Time. Given how the Rwanda Plan is popular with the public, some polls showing a 2-1 majority in favour of it, it means that your audience IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE.

@Luckydude139 @Sick_Nerd Yeh it's basically people who love the monarchy but don't want to be labeled royalist. They say 'I'm not a royalist, but..' and list off a bunch of pro monarcy nonsense.

@Sick_Nerd as an american what the fuck does this mean, is it the UK equivalent of "Im not racist... but"?
