So What Happens When Govt Forces Minimum Wage Hikes?

You're not arguing near as much as you're simply trying to fill blank space with more lies. It's all you do is lie.
I stated earlier that I don't mind raising prices whatsoever if the rest of my competitors have to do the same thing. You lying idiot.
Yep. Just as I said before.
You LIED the first time, its still a LIE. Idiot. You cannot stop lying, imbecile.
So you won’t raise wages unless your competition does too. If the govt says so you’re fine with it because everyone else will too. That’s exactly what I claimed earlier in the thread. But somehow I’m the idiot
Well, considering all I've done throughout this thread is copy and paste your own contradictory and hypocritical comments.. is it really a surprise you would claim the comments are lies?
No wonder you came to the board asking help on improving productivity (aka profitability) several years ago.
First, yes, you are the idiot, and you're lying yet again. I never stated I wouldn't raise wages unless my competion does too, you idiot. I stated that it would be difficult for me to remain competitive if my competition didn't have to raise wages while I had to. I have consistently stated that if it's an across the board wage hike, I don't mind. It still remains a level playing field.
Yes you did you senile bastard. You came here asking opinions on paying/incentivizing your employees in an effort to get them to be more productive. (aka commission). You got laughed off the thread then too.
Yet another lie, liar. One you've repeated several times.
When I brought that topic to this board, I had already initiated the incentive based pay system 14 weeks earlier. The question I asked was why would my employees (or anyone's employees) not be satisfied with that system when they were making considerably more money every single week except one week in which they made slightly less than what they were getting paid on their hourly basis.
Now, after explaining this for the umpteenth time, tomorrow or a couple weeks or months from now, you will once again repeat your lie. You will do that because you are nothing but a liar.
. So let’s get this straight. I’m a liar for claiming you said you wouldn’t pay your employees more unless your competition did as well but only a few posts later you claim exactly that. Do you understand why the vast majority of people here think you’re an idiot?
Well played, Bartlett. Well played.

Money is only a temporary motivator. The problem was that these folks didn't like their A-hole boss.
Yes. I’ve already written this above.
Not surprisingly, everyone here told you it was a terrible idea based on the type of work they were performing. The number of employees you have now demonstrates just how well that worked out.
Yes, you're a liar for claiming that. I never stated I wouldn't pay my employees more unless my competition did.
Do you understand why I call you a liar and a moron?
sounds to me like walmart should fire their accountants and hire amazon's.
No, you didn't. You cannot refrain from lying. You and several cons on this board and in this thread are pathological liars.
And you're stupid enough to declare it again and use the "type of work" as a reason when they were getting paid consistently and considerably more money. You have a slug mentality.
Another lie. Don't stop now, moron.
Let’s face it. Most companies raise their employees wages and benefits when it provides them a competitive advantage to do so. Even Greed’s poor attempt at converting hourly wage labor to productivity based compensation demonstrates that.
Greed stated earlier in this thread that mom and pops “just need to change their model” or “close”. Well....he does appear to have taken his own advice and effectively chosen the latter.

Explain to us how my productivity based compensation was a poor attempt when it resulted in every single employee making considerably more money. I look forward to more of your stupidity and lying.
"More ramblings justifying why I have no employees and a $0 value business."
Yet another lie. You're a sick man.
Yet another lie. You're a sick man.
You do have employees? What could you sell your cabinet business for based on earnings/profits?
Just because you claim it did...doesn’t make it so.
Then again...It worked so well.....no one is employed there now.
You're an idiot.
Show us that it's $0, liar. Attempt to do that without introducing another lie.
You're the idiot, not me. If they were making less money, I wouldn't be stupid as you and ask why they didn't like the new system.
Yet another lie. Another attempt to claim the incentive system is the cause of no one being employed now.
Do you have employees or not? Yes or No? (You’ve already said “no”). No.
I’m asking you what you could sell your business for (based on earnings/profit) today. What is your business worth/value?? Why can’t you explain that? Until you explain...this is exactly what everyone knows here:
The fact that you “semi retired”...the fact that you have “no employees”....the fact that you have chosen to scale down (to nonexistence) instead of scale up and grow....the fact that you chose not to apprentice an employee to carry on your efforts and potentially give someone else the opportunity accomplish being a business owner and continue a full operation ...the fact that you have done all the above, instead of sell it to someone who can actually do the things you didn’t and are choosing NOT to do pretty much sets the “value” at $0.00 unless you can explain otherwise. (Tell us where this assessment is a lie)
Listen, there’s no disgrace in you “retiring” your business. I commend you for your long term efforts. It’s just always ironic watching you preach your hypocrisy and contradicting yourself continuously. Inevitably all cycles come full circle. The markets appear to have spoken for your business. Good luck continuing your hobby of working and playing with power tools in your garage. Own that. It’s ok. (And quit being such a dick on here. Some people might give you some respect occasionally.)
^^^Look, it's a breakthrough.^^^
I'm telling you to prove it's $0, stupid liar.
In the meantime, I will continue to appropriately call you and the other stupid liars on this board what they are....stupid liars. Respect from most of you, particularly you, would certainly lower the recipient's reputation.
And don't forget, it was so successful that you and I are paying for his, and I assume at least some of his former employees', current healthcare. You're welcome.
A breakthrough? Everyone (myself included) have been acknowledging you’ve had no employees on here for months. The real breakthrough was that you finally openly admitted it.
I have essentially “proven” your business has a market value of $0 by the situations I’ve outlined (facts you have previously acknowledged) and your continued lack of intelligent response here.
(Kudos to Thunder for remembering and adding the welfare/healthcare subsidy you also admitted to receiving some time back)
What could you currently sell your business for based on earnings/profits? (Greed refuses to answer). Ok, we all know the answer to that. ($0)
So let’s lower the threshold of the “value” measurement.
Greed. What could you sell your equipment, shop, and supplies/inventory for currently if someone wanted to buy it?
Lie. Idiot.
Lie. Idiot.
Lie. Idiot.
You tell us, lying idiot. It'll give you another opportunity to lie again.
