Doubling The Minimum Wage May Seem Insane, But It Happened In 1949
They nearly doubled it and prices didnt go thru the roof and the world didnt end. Imagine that.
Of course, because post world war/post depression in an industrial/agricultural economy in a nation with 1/4th of the current population and ZERO fast food franchises and similar jobs to speak of is perfectly analogous....

Funny how you guys are willing to argue that a free market will adjust, correct, find the answers and survive when it suits your purposes... then argue that it is the root of all evil when it doesn't.
