re: #262 Aceofwhat?

I rarely see politicians adjusting things based on actual studies, anyway.

I’m just pointing out that there is a large chance of there being a confounding factor with minimum wage hikes.

I personally favor a larger safety net, rather than increased regulation of business— including minimum wage hikes. My general economic philosophy is that using the government to bludgeon corporations into acting responsibly is very often a waste of time. That doesn’t end the government’s responsibility, though, since the behavior of the corporations (and other business entities) is still occurring under the aegis of the government.
