I don't go on Reddit, but you seem to still have people on here who are hard of thinking and believe that increasing the minimum wage has no second or third order effects.
- inigyou 3mo ago"oh you think drinking water is good? why don't you just drown at the bottom of the ocean?" is a 100% reddit-tier comment.
- gadders 3mo ago"Reductio ad absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity") is a valid argumentative technique that disproves a statement by demonstrating that its logical conclusion leads to an absurd, impossible, or contradictory result."
- inigyou 3mo agoThe logical conclusion of "drink more water" is not "drink infinite water until you drown" and the logical conclusion of "make minimum wage $15" is not "make minimum wage $100000000"
- gadders 3mo agoThe counter argument of "If we put minimum wage up, everyone will be richer" is "What happens if we massively increase it?"
