Your kids don't work minimum wage jobs. So who do you think will?

Yet people keep working there, so......

Because we aren't employing them as doctors.

If they want to become doctors, they would need to go to school.

I grew up lower income. Worked crap PT low wage jobs while I went to college. My kid actually does work at Target, for a bit higher than minimum wage, while they go to school PT.

I'm not against living wages, but think things through, if you raise the minimum wage to $26/hr, how much do you think the goods and services would cost the consumer? Do you think the consumer would continue to be patrons at such a store/restaurant?

So, a $7 burger now becomes $20. People aren't go to pay for that so the restaurant closes. Now the burger flipper is out of a job.

Honestly, some of you people need to learn basic econ 101.

The government should set the price of the burger. The solutions are staring you in the face.

Yeah, the Romans tried price controls. Prices got so out of hand they had to start diluting the amount of silver in their currency, which caused even worse problems with currency devaluation and inflation. Many historians would actually blame Rome's awful economic and monetary policies for prices controls and increases in money supply for bringing down the mighty Roman empire. It's like Democrats never learn from glaring examples in history.

No one has tried real price control.

Just like how no one has ever tried real Communism before, right?

At the very least they should stop paying farmers to not farm.

Most of those “farmers” paid not to farm are wealthy democrat donors.

I don’t care what political party they support, not that I believe they vote democrat.

But for the ignorant people above, yes, we do price fix, and we pay farmers to not farm to keep prices up. I repeat, we pay, farmers not to farm to keep the supply and demand such that the cost of food is high.

All that have tried have been corrupted by nepotism or incompetence. Here, it would be different. The democratically elected best and brightest would create a new economic planning office and staff with the best and brightest that money can buy. This staff, after years of painstakingly work with models, will determine the best prices for goods and wages that will allow a reasonable profit for the owners of the businesses. Of course, the council will have a line-by-line override veto because who wants to pay more than $1 for a burger?

How could this go wrong?

DP. And "farmers" in this sentence mostly means "large corporations".
