So that minimum wage increase to 15$ in SeaTac is working out well. Of course there was really no way to know what might happen. :shrug:

The stuff about suffering was specifically a point about using emotionally charged language as a substitute for reasoned discussion.

Bonus, no amount of proof will actually change his mind about the minimum wage, because he has :sparkles:philosophical objections:sparkles: :swoon:

What is the problem here? I'm not much of a consequentialist. And even in the part you quoted I even said that there were economic policies that would be more important to me than minimum wage.

Evidence is irrelevant. Pfft, it's like you've never even heard of the archbrilliant theory of Praxeology.

First off, no matter how either side of the debate wants to paint the picture, there is plenty of evidence on each side favorable to their arguments. And again you show your willingness to slay strawmen, since I made it abundantly clear in that thread that I don't subscribe to Austrian economics.
