Milton Friedman called the minimum wage a “monument to the power of superficial thinking.”
There is a VERY powerful reason that leftists and sheeperals PREFER to think superficially.
They stop examining an issue at the very point where the REAL goal is fulfilled. That real goal is to justify the lie that “I’m a good person” and to assuage the visceral knowledge that they are NOT “a good person” when measured against The Standard (none of us are).
Therefore, when they think about any issue, once their sense of self-assurance is fulfilled, there is no need, or DESIRE to think any further. In fact, pointing out the downsides of their position on an issue makes them uncomfortable and angry, because you’re “attacking” their sense of self-worth.
