@hansw@mastodon.social The data shows that as minimum wage increases it results in the poorest and less skilled people being fired and the more well-to-do people with higher education getting more jobs at higher wages. Effectively causing the poor to become poorer and suffer more.

See attached image as a reference to this.

@freemo @hansw that data only shows that employment has risen and nothing that has anything to do with minimum wage

@freemo @hansw stop posting graphs until you know what correlation and causation

@bloodmasked

I'm iterally a professional data scientist who gets paid by some of the top projects to work on their stuff... so yea, I think i know what the difference is thank you.

@hansw@mastodon.social

@freemo @hansw anyone who starts a sentence with "The data shows" is a fucking retard

@bloodmasked

What a masterful and insightful argument you make... well guess im defeated then, you win. Darn, just too clever for me I guess.

@hansw@mastodon.social

@freemo @hansw says the fucking retard who spent 3+ years in university only to not know that a correlation cannot possibly reveal causation, might as well flush ur diploma down the toilet

@bloodmasked

I mean, I literally spent several messages in thread explaining how the chart showed correlation and not causation and that is why certain conclusions could not be drawn from the chart alone... I know your way smarter than me and all, but even super smart people like you should try reading a conversation before they disagree with it... might make you look like an idiot. Luckily that didnt happen because of all your witty and insightful input just makes you look super smart, but one day that luck might run out, so might want to try reading things before you disagree with them.

@hansw@mastodon.social

@freemo @hansw did your professors not teach you that writing a conclusion which contradicts everything else you had written above it is a bad idea? fucking retard

@bloodmasked

No they didnt, wow thanks for the brilliant advice yet again, your on a roll. If I didnt know how smart you were, and therefore I'm the one who is obviously wrong, I might have thought for a second there you were too clueless to understand what contradictions evn existed, especially when you didnt even read the stuff you decided to throw a tantrum over... but luckily we know your way too smart to even need to bother reading anything before shitting on it, so your good.

@hansw@mastodon.social

@freemo @hansw hey retard can u type 50 paragraphs amounting to nothing thanks

@bloodmasked

Sure can, easy to do when someone is too stupid to even read something before having a tantrum about it. Pretty much anything I could write fits the description at that point

@hansw@mastodon.social

@freemo @hansw gay retard say what?

@freemo @hansw gay retard says:

@bloodmasked

Good job, you read the first few sentances... now show me the part where I explained the causation can be equally said to go in the other direction due toa. correlation chart, that is, having a population with a large unemployed low education population can also cause minimum wage to increase and that a causative chart **alone** can not show which direction the causation occurs.

Luckily we **do** have specific charts and tests that check for and determine the causative direction, so we can easily resolve that problem. It simply isnt addressed in that particular image.

But clearly you already know all that being so super smart and all.
