There is no correlation between income inequality and human development

It's also worth mentioning that there is a direct correlation between minimum wage and unemployment rate, and a high unemployment rate is a million times worse for a country than a low minimum wage.

Firstly, black people are on average more poor in america, fact. Idk if that addresses income inequality vs human development or makes me look racist for saying the truth.

Secondly, there is not a direct correlation between minimum wage and unemployment rate. Some of the highest minimum wage countries in the world have the highest unemployment (look at france and germany, they have fairly high minimum wage and high unemployment) and then there are extremely poor countries with no minimum wage that have massive unemployment like Afghanistan and Sudan. So unemployment isnt correlated with minimum wage what so ever.

The first point correlates race with income, not income inequality with human development.

Your second point is creating a false correlation. You're looking at economic strength and human development vs unemployment rate, not minimum wage vs unemployment.

Minimum wage is a price floor, which means quantity demanded (in this case, of labor) is decreased.

Look Dg just because you don't like how a country runs doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong or shouldn't be run that way. How boring would it be if every country worked the same way. Just because you don't like how something works doesn't mean that we will stop or ever will.
I am bad at hide and seek.

@OP
What does the american people think of Obama? (Your opinion) is he doing a great job? Yes? No? :)

I'm going to new york (1 week) then 1 month in Vegas/AZ and LA any tips on any good places to visit? Any areas for good food, nice bar, or just a cool view? It's my first time in the US.

Do you enjoy large cities, or smaller towns?

Who do you look up to? do you have an idol?

What do you like the most about America? If you could pick something you could change. What would that be?

Does people smoke pot in your social circle? Is it socially acceptable?

What's your favorite burger place? Pizza place? Tips on good american food? KFC something you would recommend?

How much is a regular movie ticket?

When is the last day/month usually before Summer break?

Hehe, many questions :)

People will pretty much hate anyone who's in office. He's generally doing a pretty good job though.

I've never been to any of those places so I can't help you out, sorry.

I've never really been in a city with more than like 300,000 people (other than driving through atlanta once and going to the airport in denver a few times), so I don't really know what it's like in a big city.

No

I don't really have a favorite thing. America is just pretty awesome.

It's pretty acceptable to smoke pot, but it's considered pretty immature. It's something that stupid teenagers and loser adults do. No one likes someone who talks about smoking pot.

Please don't eat at a chain restaurant when you come here. There will be hundreds of locally-owned restaurants where you go and they'll be a million times better. Just google the name of the city you'll be in and the food you want to eat.

It's like $8 here, but I'm sure it'll be more in a big city.

Summer break usually starts in early may for college students and late may/early june for high school students
