You are a master of the edge case Michael! Our society can afford to pay stay-at-home moms $15 to $20 an hour instead of $10 to $15. If we wanted to create a $10/hour exception for 30- or 60-day training periods, no one would be opposed to that as long as there was some upper limit on when the training had to end Businesses can afford this When all businesses pay a living wage for entry-level workers, prices might increase 1% to 3% to cover that incremental cost. When all businesses raise prices 1%, 2%, or 3%, consumers adjust, just as they adjusted to Biden sustaining 3% to 6% inflation and Trump sustaining 3% to 4% inflation. society didn't end because Trump and Biden have run inflation hot over the last six years -- and it won't end because a nanny or cashier go from $10 an hour to $15 Appreciate how strongly you argue your position, Michael— hope we can share a steak sometime soon! Let me know when you're in Austin! 🥩(@jason)
