It's all just socdems going "the optimal minimum wage would be 15.765 dollars, any more would hurt the workers", as if they actually calculated it and didn't just pull the number out of their ass. Everyone is accusing each other of not understanding "basic economics". Half the people seem to have absolutely no reading comprehension.

Please just go back to cancelling each other for dating someone who is shorter than them.

    Point out to them that workers at McDonalds in Denmark make like $22 an hour and a Big Mac doesn't cost a fortune there.

    A lot of these big brains took one or two macroecon courses in undergrad, possibly taught by someone who's chair was funded by the Koch brothers, and now they're geniuses in "basic economics".

      I tried to find an online course that goes over the basics of macroeconomics one time cuz some of that shit is confusing af but fuck me it was impossible to find anything that wasn't tryna instantly convert me to a free market worshipper.

      They couldn't even just give me the definitions of things without trying to sell me on how it's the perfect system.
