re: #269 Belafon

Nixon’s price fixing is not the same thing. We’ve raised wages before. Cities such as Seattle have raised wages. And not only has the world not ended, but the economy has improved in those areas. This is not price fixing the economy. This is saying that there’s a minimum cost of an employee, similar to there being a minimum cost for a wrench.

We raised minimum wage many times before. The first time it caught me, it raised my pay to $1.00 per hour. For the record, Bernie and the Dems are both bullshitting on MW. Their bravest demands, with long application times, will not even erase the effects of inflation on the lowest-paid worker.
