i don't single out the minimum wage workers for this, it's just a microcosm of a general problem with the populace where too many people have gotten comfortable only doing the largest common workloads and suck at doing anything outside of the ordinary

i had to fire someone recently for being unable to do anything outside of what they've been doing for the last 10 years

Except minimum wage hikes have been studied when they happen and they find no meaningful change and employment or business size.

I learned a new word recently. Economism. It's when people take econ 101 Concepts and apply them to the real world without any thought as to how the real world deviates from the ideal classroom scenario

Ooh, where was this studied?

I just cant imagine most minimum wage jobs being worthwhile to employers if wages were doubled and I read up on some studies, albeit outdated by now, that suggested contrary to what you read
