Marxists who think that hanging the bourgeois from an oak tree will solve all problems are ignorant. Fortunately, that species of “thinker” was as extinct in America as the unicorn even before Saint Ronnie single-handedly dismantled the Berlin Wall.
However, there is another species of thinker gaining strength in America just as ignorant and much more insidious.
Oh my. This was discussed in threads three months ago and concepts like demand elasticity and the fact that some costs are NOT proportional to the minimum wage were patiently explained to the Ignorati. After a pause hoping for forgetfulness the Ignorati wants us to repeat the same education. :smack: And BTW, when this is moved to BBQ Pit I will explain in strong terms that I prefer honest ignorance to inventing statistics out of whole cloth and deliberate prevarication.
For example, from an earlier thread on a similar topic:
I asked Mr. Terr for a cite, clicked on his links and found only mention of a hike to $10.35 and mention of a contract clause specifying "each rate will be at least ten cents ($0.10) higher than the previous rate in the progression schedule.” I tried to point out to Mr. Terr that ten cents was less than the wage hike and that $10.35 was less than $36, but he had nothin’.
Bah.
