CJ, > Didn't you make the claim that because minimum wage workers are no more productive than they were 30 years ago, they didn't deserve to make more?

I'm not the one putting this in the context of who "deserves" what. You and SilentZ are.

Do you think minimum wage workers should enjoy more of the benefits of increased productivity that technology enables? I think they should, but the best way for that to happen is by letting the free market raise standards of living for everyone across the global economy.

Not by raising the minimum wage to the point where it becomes unenforceable. That's just "feel-good" crap.
