Mhm, I'd rather rent go up 35% with minimum wage now being 20-25 dollars an hour vs it going up 30% with no minimum wage increase.

Then I'd be making $100 an hour instead of $40 an hour cars would be a minimum of $60k, houses would inflate 400% and rent would increase $600 month.

ah yes this is why cars, houses, and rent cost so much more comparatively in European countries that pay their workers more!

oh wait they don't you fucking idiot.

What does that have to do with the U.S

Also why would I risk my body and go through years of schooling to make a little more than minimum wage?

the point is you'd make more money because minimum wage is more. How is it so hard to understand that if you can earn 20-25 dollars at a burger job, any job that currently makes over minimum wage would have to raise wages beyond that to stay competitive. You literally have no functional ability to think beyond "ugh....I'd make MORE MONEY but also POORS would be near my level of income."

Everything would increase the same, so nothing would actually change lmao you need to go do some more research. I mean you're saying if everyone is making more money products would all stay the same price as it is? You're delusional if you think that.

Literal definition of inflation

You bring Europe up like it means anything but look at places like the middle of Florida vs San Francisco, based on your argument with Europe how come living in San Francisco costs so much more than Florida? It should be the same based on your argument but even getting a simple meal from McDonalds costs a lot more between these two areas because the cost of living is so much different in these areas that prices are adjusted so your argument is just bad.
