The minimum wage would apply to everyone. Both fast food workers and farm workers. What is your point?

- xienze 7y agoSo let’s break it down like this, since apparently HN isn’t smart enough to see the hypocrisy of the situation. Liberals: pay fast food workers $15 an hour! Conservatives: that will dramatically increase food prices and lead to layoffs. Liberals: no it won’t! Fear mongering! Conservatives: let’s stop illegal immigration. Liberals: who’s gonna pick vegetables then??? Conservatives: Americans Liberals: impossible! That will lead to dramatically higher food prices! That’s why I get a kick out of this. It’s the same arguments repeated by both sides.
- random314 7y agoYou seem to be obsessed with minimizing food prices as the end goal of liberals. It is not. This argument is entirely inside your head. Check Switzerland for a society with high food prices and high minimum wage. This is the kind of society liberals are advocating for.
