What we talked about in class today 9/10/14

In class today we talked about raising the minimum wage from $7.50 to $10.10. I think this would hurt the economy because the business would have to waste 3 dollars more on everyone's paycheck so the money they get for their business to keep running will go down because the wage is higher. This would result in a lot of people getting laid off. We also talked about people from India coming to the U.S to get jobs. A lot of people will hire them because they will work for less, so the company doesn't have to pay them much and they receive greater income to their business. We talked about online dating too. We named dating sites like e harmony, farmers, and christian mingle. 1/8 couples meet online! Its easy for someone to catfish someone else on online dating so personally i don't think its a good idea to do it, but that's just me. Also we talked about is Chinese people are learning English as there second language. I think it would be cool because we could all communicate to each other and talk about new inventions and ideas and work together to make them. Lastly we talked about the #1 word that most languages use which is "okay (OK)."
