I had a discussion with a girl I know about minimum wage (idk what her politics are exactly bc she's inconsistent but if I had to guess I'd say soc dem) and she was saying Biden's plan to increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2025 was the most ambitious plan in world history. She explained that with $15 min wage the US will have the highest minimum wage in the world, this was the best way to do it bc if we switched to $24 min wage overnight then small businesses would completely shut down and leave a large amount of the workforce unemployed and allow corporations like Amazon to take over.
I'll admit I'm newish to leftism and didn't really have an answer to this. Is there an argument from the left against this? also sorry to mods if I posted in the wrong place, wasn't exactly sure where this should go
owning people by their own logic never works, because they understand their own logic better than you do, and there's a good chance you've misunderstood what that logic is. also people don't change their minds after being owned.
i think your point mostly stands but i think it depends on the person. I've definitely changed my mind on things after being owned before. But yeah in general people tend to just double down and even if you own someone with their own "logic" often times that logic only holds up for others anyway, most people are way more lenient with holding themselves to ideals than other people.
