>If someone comes to this country and says, "$8/hour is plenty money for me," the market value of the work goes down. This is because someone just demonstrated a willingness to work more for less.

"Whether an employee is using the old-fashioned mechanical cash register or a modern electronic version, the value added by the worker is the same."

Not even vaguely true. The modern registers allow a higher throughput. It takes significantly less time to check out a customer today than it did back then.

That means productivity has gone up. Something that you are in denial over.
