If there is more of something then it's is worth less
What we need is to decrease inflation by cutting government spending
No one ever presents a solution in these kinds of threads.

>get an education
How are people supposed to accomplish these things from a rock bottom start? Where is the opportunity?

>Ever using unemployment rate and not labor participation rate

>implying businesses don't want the min wage to go up so they have an "excuse" to replace more jobs with machines
they are going to do it regardless of what the min wage is. a machine is always cheaper than a person in the long-term.
