No, it really was. Go to those starving socialist and communist countries who have turned to capitalism and they will tell you.

Which is why unemployment was at an all time low before COVID. Why are you a science denier?

Half of the population is intellectually below average. Somehow, they all post on this website.

Not true, which is why I want as many people as possible working. Why do you want to force people into unemployment?

In your mythical dreamworld, who organizes the labor?

So instead you propose something that increases unemployment and causes prices to increase.

You’re right, valuation of resources (supply vs demand) is an elementary concept. And yet you still can’t grasp it. Sport.

You couldn’t comprehend that millions of jobs could disappear. The past year showed it could.

Why have 2 jobs when both jobs have been eliminated?

Minimum wage overvalues employees. The actual minimum wage is $0/hr.

There were also small businesses that went out of business because they couldn’t afford it.

That’s kind of the point. Large corporations CAN afford a $15 minimum. It’s the millions of small businesses that can’t.

This will have a greater impact on small businesses who can’t afford these wages. So now you are driving more business to large corps.

The cost of a burger now costs $15, so now the majority of lower income workers will be unable to afford it.

Are you saying that you doubt whether there are 1.5 million jobs that could be eliminated? Have you been around the past year?

MW is not the only input into medical costs. Unemployment has a direct correlation to costs.

I don’t. That’s why I want to decrease the labor supply causing an increase in labor price.

Amount of effort put into a task does not determine the value put on that task.
