Sure, why not. Should be a full simulation, not just an internal exercise to feel maximum impact.

The amnestied foreign workers will be grateful to this shilling astroturf mob of dolts, with or without the $15 rate. And they’ll do a better job. And unlike Jesse Jackson when he was young, they won’t spit in the salads.

Thanks fivecatsandadog.

Wasn’t Detroit once a city?

The conclusion is inescapable. We have to nuke Detroit.

Sad story about Detroit and all those folks, both black and white, who felt that they couldn't stay there any more.

Give the workers $15 an hour for one week, and raise the prices commensurate with the wage. Then see how many burgers are sold.

Nope, never give in, never surrender

Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. You would never be able to roll back the wages.
