Participant[quote=AN][quote=livinincali][quote=AN]Looks like Seattle beat San Diego to the punch.
http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/03/smallbusiness/seattle-business-minimum-wage/index.html?iid=HP_LNWe’ll see soon enough what raising minimum wage will do to the local economy, bad or good.[/quote]
Good news. San Diego and the rest of the municipalities considering raising minimum wage should all chip in to do a comprehensive study of the impacts on Seattle. Then they can make an informed rational decision rather than one based on theories and emotions.[/quote]Exactly, since Seattle essentially volunteered itself as a guinea pig. We should totally take advantage of it. If it have a positive effect on Seattle’s economy, then maybe we can consider raising it past $15 as well. This will be real world proof of the theories that both sides are providing.[/quote]
Really AN… Cali???
You think because there will be actual empirical data that the leadership of SD will study the effects and make a rational decision?
Stop thinking like engineers…
The decision will be based on special interest, and heart strings…
Facts and Politics is analogous to Oil and Water…
Sorry brother… you know this to be true… Sadly…

Participant[quote=AN][quote=flu][quote=all]I don’t get it. If that is a side project he should not be working on it (i.e. contacting you) during business hours. And if it is not a side project someone likely made a mistake assigning the task to your coworker.[/quote]
He’s a junior person assigned to the project. No idea who/what they are doing….There’s nothing wrong with not knowing how to do it… But what is very funny is, if this was a test of how well someone can adapt to new things, this would be the contrarian indicator.[/quote]This is also what separate engineers from developers or worse yet “devs”.[/quote]
No it doesn’t…
I have met plenty of engineers that want to be spoon fed as well…

ParticipantIf you make minimum wage then you need to move out of San Diego… Pure and simple…
CA for that matter… This is not a state for low income earners…
Hell I have wondered if it was a smart thing to do to continue to live here and I have a decent income.
Go somewhere you can make a decent living and stop drawing comparisons about COLA in SD.
Las Vegas is just across the hills and plenty of ppl make a nice living with no education and no real skills.
This whole discussion is analogous to one of us moving to Beverly Hills and complaining that 100K a year doesn’t afford us what we want there.
If you cant afford to live somewhere… go some place you can…
Plus there are a lot of comparisons of “Where I use to live then and now”… a lot of those place are dumps I am sure but I have lived in a lot of desirable dumps in my life too… They were desirable because of the 3 Ls… so that comparison is not really valid either… You think Mira Mesa is nice?!? Hell no… its a dump… but its a dump that is close to Qualcomm and while that fact remains it will continue to outpace the market… I am sure most of these comparison are similar…
Almost everything about California is an outlier argument…
As for minimum wage… I know just enough small business owners to believe “the Republican” argument of job destruction… but I would not debate for a second that the monopolization of wealth in this country will not have serious consequences…

Participant[quote=livinincali][quote=joec]Does anyone else see this minimum wage fight as simply being welfare so the poor masses don’t revolt and start doing bad things to everyone else?
I suppose I look at it as not really a “business” case or logical analysis, but as shown time and time again in history, the “haves” really don’t want to see what will happen when the have-nots get too pissed off with the current situation. I think in France, some kids and young people torched hundreds of cars in a street. This isn’t good for anyone.
[/quote]Thanks for bringing up France it’s a great example of how minimum wage doesn’t necessarily help employment prospects. For example minimum wage in France is 1430 euros per month ($1959 in US dollar terms). France also has a work week of 35 hours per week so if you assume 4 weeks per month and divide by 35 hours per week you end up with a minimum wage of $14/hr in US dollar terms. In France youth unemployment is about 23.5% compared to the US’s 18.5%.
In Germany youth unemployment is less than 10%. Guess was minimum wage Germany has. That’s right, none. It has a law stating you can’t pay an immoral wage but that’s decided on a case by case basis by the courts. For example a entry level grocery store worker in Germany can be paid the equivalent of $7 US dollars per hour and it’s not immoral.
Also if you’ve every been to France and Germany you’ll know that’s it’s a lot cheaper to live in Germany than in France. Compare Berlin to Paris. Honestly you’d probably be better off in Germany as a cashier in Berlin than a cashier in Paris even though you might get double the monthly salary. It’s all relative.
Can Walmart afford to pay it’s workers $13/hr in San Diego. Sure. With automation, price increases, laying off the weakest performing staff, etc, they’ll make it work. Of course it’s only better for those that happen to work at Walmart and keep they’re job. Also those designing/building those automated systems. Anybody who was already making $15/hr and doesn’t get a corresponding raise loses because they are now forced to pay higher prices for things. In addition those that lose their job to automation are now on the welfare roles somewhere.
People posting here who are making $100K don’t really care. The price increases at the grocery store or restaurant are fairly negligible in their budget. Food/Entertainment is probably less than 10% of their budget so a 10% increase in prices for low skilled labor in restaurants and general goods/foods stores only adds 1% to their overall budget.
While people have linked studies that show minimum wage increases haven’t greatly negatively impacted the economy. Nobody has linked a study that shows major increases in minimum wage greatly improve the overall economy. I thing the realty is at best minimum wage increases changes the winners and loses and prefers experience over youth.[/quote]

Participant[quote=Former SD resident]According to attorney, adverse possession is very difficult to support in California. And given the burden of proof surrounding the true ownership of tree. It’s possible but not probable. Who’s to say previous owners of our home didn’t plant it? Also if they really thought this was a liability wouldn’t they have taken care of it right away? It’s been about 7 months since this started and almost every time we leave they do something else to our side property.[/quote]
I think UCGal has shown her usual wisdom with the suggestion that you put in a fence. That’s pretty much draws the line in the “metaphoric” sand.

Participant[quote=Former SD resident]We reviewed survey and looks like that plumeria is 100% ours! but now an eye sore to us. I hate to do it but we are going to clear everything that’s left on that side of yard and put in a good fence. We are also going to be sending them a demand letter to stay off our property or we will sue. We have taken pictures of everything they’ve done. Fingers crossed that will keep them in their own yard.[/quote]
Interesting legal aspect to this…
Very much the type of thing I think you would see in law school.
They may have planted the plumeria thinking it was on their property.
So if they bought it (which I am not sure you know if they did)… Who really owns it and they may have cut it down thinking it was a liability.
Interesting debate.

Well this post was originally created in 2011. 3 years later and there’s still no hyper inflation and likely won’t be. Maybe hyperinflation in San Deigo home prices over the past year?[/quote]
