    I guess it depends what you plan to use the number for. If you plan to set the min wage on it, you will destroy small businesses in poorer areas, and probably cause the chains to leave those same areas.

      This is already happening, but it’s better to keep paying the poor less under all circumstances as far as republicans and centrist democrats are concerned.

      Can’t create a permanent subclass of flyover morlocks if you pay them like the blue state eloi.
