‘Experts cautioned the effects of the minimum wage may vary according to the industries dominant in the cities where they are implemented along with overall economic conditions in the country as a whole’
When experts start putting their names to their conclusions, then I might give them more credibility. I am truly fed up with claims like ‘all economists’, ‘experts dispute’, ‘experts say’, etc. I want to know WHO is claiming the Leftist agenda is correct and good. If they will not out themselves, they deserve no attention.

That is typical of my experience with HOAs ;ALL the members pay for certain amenities used by some. Much like government taxes. I really don’t get why people wish to pay an additionalset of “taxes” in order to subject themselves to even more rules and restrictions.

Good question.
“fracking had NO impact whatsoever on drinking water, fracking has actually reduced carbon dioxide emissions.”
But they saw a movie where the flammable gas came from the drinking water tap, and it would burn with a large flame!
Therefore, it must be so.
“...Yet according to a major new study that could force economists to reassess past research on the issue, the hike has had the opposite effect.”
I’d like to know the name of any economist who thought this was going to work. You learn in basic economics that raising the price of anything will cause the consumer of that good/service to use less.
