Never said they are morons, I simply said the prize has become meaningless. And not just because the "Messiah" got one for doing, literally, nothing.I find it quite amusing when people put up the Nobel Prize (for anything) as some proof that the person has accomplished something. It has become no more than a political back scratcher.You would actually have more money in your pocket to buy that Big Mac. Increasing the minimum wage will reduce the tax burden as we will not be subsidising low wage employers.So, you would be willing to spend 2-3 times as much for your Big Mac then right? And for your groceries, car, gas, home, utilities, entertainment, etc., etc.
Raising the minimum wage only kicks the can down the road. How about a real solution for a change?
Then why didn't it work in Venezuela, Greece, or even in the US in 2007 to 2009? We drastically increased the minimum wage in 2007. Why are people even talking about increasing the minimum wage, after a massive increase?
It doesn't work. Never has. Never will.
We've got several nobel laureates, you've got your own rote assertions backed up by nothing. But you do you, buddy!
Right, Nobel laureates are all morons because you're mad that Barack Obama got one.
Not all Nobel Prizes are created equally. Some are not even awarded in the same country.
