They don’t get the economy,but they sure understand class warfare and politics
Minimum wage jobs have always been a place to learn and develop skills necessary to move up and make a person valuable to future employers.
As it is now, the bottom rung of the economic ladder is often an open door for immediate employment for the uneducated, unmotivated and self mutilated. When the wage rises causing the available jobs to lessen, the competition for those jobs will increase. We are likely to see mature citizens reentering the workforce to put their talents and customer relation skills to work, thus eliminating opportunity for a growing number of young people who will be left with dwindling options for feeding themselves.
I assume liberals see this as good, somehow.
