The minimum wage does a lot of good

Interesting you say then when you can clearly see that actually hurts those people.




Its almost like it both has advantages and disadvantages... How crazy...


You're right, I didn't consider employers of illegal workers and the automation industry.


Yep. All in all, minimum wage is a feel good hit. :)


Policies can have both good effects and bad effects at the same time.


It's not the minimum wage that hurts those people, but a lack of aggregate demand.


Exactly, basically they are being paid to be spammers...

[arguably the lowest-value task in the ecosystem]
