To be fair, unless you've got a fair system to begin with, raising the minimum wage won't increase purchasing power anyway. Prices just scale up.
The people against it keep making that argument, and it keeps not being true.
I'm barely holding on wtf are you on about?
You might be well off enough that it isn't true for you.
That's why you go one step further and tie minimum wage to inflation/GDP/cost of living. Hardly done anywhere, but I'd wish that happens.
Which study says that?
There's no need for an additional study when we already see it in existing countries.
That's funny, because prices in states with a higher minimum wage than federal aren't proportionally higher than states with a lower minimum wage.
It's almost like payroll isn't the only expense the company has.
Got an example? How do you see a whole country without a study?
They don't have an example because it isn't true. But I know you know that.
