15 dollar an hour min wage ain’t gonna bankrupt corporations and multinationals..but it might do so to mom and pop stores/restaurants/service businesses. Which will be replaced, if at all, with corporate owned chains.

Multinationals will destroy mom and pop stores with or without a $15 minimum wage

Everybody that makes that much with an iq above room temperature would show $31.9 million in earnings.

So basically it would be a pro athlete/actor/musician tax.

It's a tax on net worth not earning.

Where is that UBI money going to come from? How can you have more people drawing money, than you have taxpayers paying it in?

---

I’m no expert on fiscal policy or UBI. But, there’s a few different ways you can implement UBI and with different focus goals. Someone like Milton Friedman basically wanted to eliminate all welfare and replace it with cash payments and stimulate the economy. Others think that the government ought to provide a decent living standard for everybody in the country and then if people want more they ought to work for it.

There are many ways you can pay for UBI and it also depends on how much you want. If you want like $30k a year you’d basically have to just take heaps of money from the Uber rich and that would be difficult to do and it would likely have negative economic impacts. But for say $1k/month it’s much more feasible. Andrew Yang’s main source of funding for his UBI is adding a 10% VAT and cutting some welfare programs. People would choose between $1k/month and their current welfare program. Economic growth from people spending their money and a few other minor taxes would pay for the program.

Another way to pay for UBI would be a wealth tax. It is estimated that $12k a year to every American would cost $3t. Bernie Sanders says his wealth tax (1% on every dollar earned over $32m and progressively increasing) would raise around $4.5T whilst a Wharton study found that it would raise around $3T. This would easily cover UBI. If What Sanders claims is correct then we'd have $1-1.5T left over this could returned to working and middle class americans through tax cuts.

The real reason businesses are being screwed is because of large multinational corporations. Instead of getting food at a local family owned diner people buy it at an enormous fast food chain. Instead of a supporting a local bookstore people buy books on Amazon. If the rate of the minimum wage from the 60s had kept to today it would be around $23/hr. Small businesses would easily be able to afford a higher minimum wage if instead of money going to some billionaire globalist who doesn’t even pay tax here their profits came from the local community and went back into it.

If LSU wants him he will be at LSU.

If you take say 24 you can take 26 the next year

I get that people have a disdain for coaches like Art Briles but look at Bama. But my objective opinion is that Bama hire former head coaches as analysts and it helps them a lot. Mike Locksley was awful as a coache but I think being an analyst helped him and later on he was was a good coordinator and recruiter for them and he is now the HC at Maryland where their program is improving.

Shazz Preston’s dad is very good friends with WR coach Mickey Joseph. The leaders in his recruitment are LSU and Mississippi State.

Several recruits are waiting to see who LSU hires in many coaching positions. Recruits will want to see changes on the defensive end of the ball particularly because the atrocious Defense overall was completely unacceptable for LSU football.
