    Stupid This activist wants a $25 minimum wage. Why stop there?

    Joel Abbott - Not The Bee


    Ah, the slippery slope of using government to strong-arm the market:

    Jen Perelman is an attorney, activist, and former Democratic congressional candidate, so she obviously is an expert on how to run a company, build capital, edge out competitors, and attract talent with fair wages.

    I'm sure she's done a lot of research into what might happen to the economy if the employees at the local go-kart place are making $25/hour without even needing a high school diploma!

    Here were a few responses to this laughable suggestion:








    Yesterday, it was fifteen dollars. Today, it is twenty-five dollars. Tomorrow, it will be a hundred trillion dollars.

    Just like Zimbabwe!

    Over a decade ago, the Zimbabwean government started printing as much money as possible to "fix" economic problems. It ended with the government literally printing TRILLION-dollar bills that would only buy you a cheap loaf of bread.

    But sure, let's follow that model on our path to a #LivingWage!

    I used to wonder how people can be so stupid, but I've been shown time and again its exponentially more common than I ever thought possible

    The replies are fun, however anyone fearful of this actually happening needs their head checked
