Lobster theory and economic theory are identically delusional, Flo. (Except economics is called āthe dismal science, as if something relying on belief in magic IS a science. And lobsters are usually called ādeliciousāā¦)

Really. Raising the minimum wage will work this time. We promise that it wonāt make prices go up and that we wonāt tax people more and have it all come out of the consumerās share of the economic pie when we raise the cost of doing business for the people who supply the goods and services upon which the consumers must depend.If we secure an extra $2,000/year for you, we (virtually) guarantee that it wonāt result in your annual expenses going up by $2,100, with more money ending up in the pockets of those in power and their most supportive partners in industry.Cross our hearts and hope to blame it on the opposing party in the next round of popular awakening.
