I live in California, the land of the bad policies... sigh
Anyway, when it comes to minimum wage, I just tell them it's like a small bandage when you need to stitch up the actual wound. If all you use are bandages without treating the wound, the patient will die. And then I tell them the wound is why there is so little economic opportunity. Then I tell them how burdensome regulation makes it hard for people to get a small business off the ground, about how the big corps and well-connected people are tapped into an endless source of money...... and we're on our way to Bitcoinlandia 🚀🚀🚀
I don't really bother with arguing that minimum wage doesn't even help..... to me it is a lesser point, not worth arguing about, than talking about the underlying ills of the economy
I wasn't really trying to argue with her, the opposite actually. I wanted her to know I wasn't just being a jerk by not signing her petition, but that I knew that issue well and disagreed.
However, I think minimum wage is one of the clearest "seen vs unseen" examples, so it's well worth arguing about, imo.
