@bonzoesc Is it a Tree Iguana and the tree is normal, or is it a normal Iguana on an Iguana Tree?
@louiscouture The only data I have was what I stated, and it was direct from the office department of defense published figures. As I said its a hard thing to quantify and thats the best measure I can think of anyway.
You can run a whole OSX sysem inside docker now, gui and all... I havent tried it out yet but looks legit.
@kino That said, inflation aside, it has been trivally shown that higher minimum wage causes more harm to the least skilled workers, and thus has the opposite of the intended effect.
@hankhill that depends on how you measure it, and who you ask. The very reason you just explain is why I often argue poverty today is not nearly as bad as it has been in the past. Technology and advancement in processes has made the quality of life for people on the lower half of the spectrum better in many ways.
The key is being able to see and understand that, which most people cant. None of that changes the fact that we could improve the poverty situation in a way that is a benefit to everyone, but we dont do a good job at that.
@kino Not wholly, no, of course not. But that is one effect that has been argued would (and has) result from inflation. The logic makes sense, hard to prove either way though due to the long slow nature of inflation when caused by this effect (if caused by it).
I am much happier that I originally read this reply out of context of the original thread :)
@ambulocetusThere is also a valid argument that a large part of the cause of inflation is having a minimum wage in the first place, which many argue devalues the dollar and thus makes poverty worse.
From that perspective this meme is an argument to lower minimum wage (and slowdown inflation) rather than to increase it.
