Isnt this something that is just absorbed over time as more employers employees make money, they spend more and then youll have to rehire. Isnt this a red herring argument . And my second question is, why dont we just increase minimum wage or do some index so were constantly increasing wages and we dont have to have this discussion.

We met a man. This kid and he was 13 started pulling electronic parts out of the garbage and went to an internet cafe. He looked at what the components did and within a couple years he built a battery. A couple years after that he built his own Radio Station was brought testing across sierra leone.
