> they don't understand a minimum wage can't stay stagnant for years on end. it does increase stuff overall, but you wouldn't need to raise it much if they did a good job running the county. they fucked up fuel costs, transportation, trucking, everything skyrockets after that. yup, it's only a tiny part of the equation. fuel cost is number one, regulations are number two, minimum wage? not actually such a huge part, since if everyone is spending more money (which they do if they make more) they also buy more products, which helps pay their wage. the actual reason for inflation is almost never the minimum wage, but instead some other shit like a certain president cranking up gas prices and refusing to lower taxes and regulations, or putting limits on semi-trucks so shipping is more expensive. someone making 3 more dollars per hour at walmart doesn't actually spike the price of everything 30%, it "spikes" it like 1 or 2 percent maybe.
