Then nobody benefits because they raise prices to make up for peoples wages.

productivity frequently reaches no highs, rent keeps going up, things keep costing more, and wages have been stagnant since the 70s

For example, "no x should ever" as a statement applies to all x, not just one particular x. --- formerly evening formerly guide https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe the rich guy isn't referring to his business, but factoring in that many small businesses typically pay min wage so it would be hurting them.

I don't get why we're so stuck on $15 in the first place. I feel like the conversation would be a lot better if there was at least some middle ground discussion. It also seems like people are working on a faulty premise because barely anyone is working full time on the extreme low end minimum wage in the first place, and there are plenty of states with more reasonable minimum wages.

I mean, when I share my unpopular among lefties opinions (like unpaid internships are okay) and share my background, generally it isn't like 'oh a poor person has a different perspective, let's listen' it's more 'oh so you had to deal with some terrible stuff and now you think everyone should'

Hot take: a person's background can provide context to their opinions, but is never enough to invalidate it on its own. If their background truly disqualifies them, then it should be provable by addressing their arguments directly.
