The Minimum Wage Destroys Jobs

Yes, Mikey, 2 dollars an hour is the most fair price to pick strawberries, as it's cheaper on labor costs than automation in the long-term. Do you really think that farmers can afford to pay 40 people 7.25 an hour to pick strawberries for a month?

Very similar arguments were used to argue for slavery. Somehow our economy survived it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

First: The word is paid, stupid.

Second: They talked about how they'd never be able to compete or do anything if they had to spend that much more on paying laborers. They survived.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That looks to have a correlation of about 0.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
