Well, then, the solution to too many babies born out of wedlock is to cut the penis off of every newborn male.

That makes about as much sense as saying that liars and scam artists take advantage of there being a minimum wage so altering it or even having one is bad.

If you can’t see the direct effect to you. well....

I once lived where they packed a lot of peaches and they were in wooden crates made of slats you could see between. You could tell when someone was trying to hide some rotten or otherwise bad peaches because they'd put the wooden crate inside a nice looking cardboard box.

I see the direct effects, I don't see why arguing that hiding the rotten peaches by putting the cardboard box of a low minimum wage around the wooden crate makes any sense.

That's just another one of the "kick the can down the road" approaches that lets the real problem constantly get worse.

Stop the absurd policies, they're the real problem not the fact that they're tied to a minimum wage that may or may not be too high, too low, or whatever.

Just out of curiosity, in Seattle, how many people have left the welfare rolls since the minimum wage went to $15.00?

...whatever $8.05 an hour now plus inflation...

Simple; just use the same inflation-rate that the US Govt used to calculate our COLA raises for SS and Military Pensions - ZERO!!!

If they use any other number, they are talking out of both sides of their mouths.
