moron bottom-earner take. companies forced to pay low skill low effort employees even more for their menial monkey work aren't going to absorb the costs out of their own margins so they raise prices. chances are the only goods and services these wagies can already afford are the businesses where they work so the extra little bit of money they get goes right back to into these companies so they're not any better off than before the "raise." in the meantime the rest of us who weren't politically useful who didn't get raises pay the higher prices and end up worse off at scale. this is push the buttons and mop the floors level logic.
