All raising the minimum wage does is raise expenses for everything.

Demonstrably false. Prices will always go up regardless. Nobody should have to work for less than a liveable wage. If you disagree with me you are a piece of shit.

Uh, this is a total non-sequitur. It's like arguing that also getting shot will not affect the situation of someone who's been stabbed.

Just because prices are going up does not mean that something else can't also make them go up (more/faster), what a bizarre assertion.

Nobody should have to work for less than a liveable wage.

Should people be forced to hire workers who cost more than they produce?

I don't see how both of these conditions can be met simultaneously, and unless they both are, there is still unresolved unfairness to contend with. What do you suggest?

If you disagree with me you are a piece of shit.

You're not nearly as omniscient as you think you are, to make such an arrogant statement.

Someone's mad that their idealism was confronted with inconvenient truths, lol.

I hope one day you'll mature enough not to react so childishly to being contradicted.
