    I believe the common strawman is “if min wage goes up, prices go up” which… You know just admits the system is there to abuse. “If you make more money then we’ll take more money from you”.

      the idea is that wages are part of expenses which contribute to prices, which is why you need more regulation about this sort of thing. the best part is that when the min wage doesn’t go up, the prices still go up.
