Fee’s solution is the same as it was for the makers of the wagon wheel, buck skin coats, buggy whips and so forth. We didn’t get to the moon with buggy whips. We got there by pressing technology, but nobody cares about all the spinoffs that came from it now are they?

New technology requires not so much for someone to operate it, but more so for someone to design, build and maintain it. People like Fee have this problem of zero sum thinking without a whit of sense about how he/she/it manages to turn on their computers or what went into making it react in such a manner. Nothing but a bunch of petulant fools who are forever looking for the problem instead of focusing on a solution.

My reply to Fee is that a rise in the minimum wage might give short-tern benefit to the Dems as a wedge issue, but that it does NOTHING to solve the “income inequality” “problem,” nor the decline in middle class jobs.
