But, but, but, “There isn’t a single segment of the economy that’s isn’t better today off than when I took office.” So sayeth the lyin’ king. Hmmm. Didn’t we just read that some fast food/pizza places will soon be closing due to the $15/hr min wage. Odd eh?

A minimum wage pizza cook is not the same as an experienced adult who operates and/or repairs manufacturing machinery in your factory. Years ago, industry employed Operators and Maintainers in factories (along with the skilled labor of Electricians and Machinists). A couple decades ago, “business needs” forced Operators to become Operator/Maintainers with little or no increase in pay and the Maintainers were phased out through retirements.

Now, if a Capitalist had to start providing more services, would he expect full compensation for those services? Or would he just say, “Well, that’s the business climate and I have to provide more services (taking on higher costs) for the same price.”
