a) I was listening to the radio this morning (I was having my car serviced so I didn't have much choice). The fellow was ranting away about how almost everyone is a teenager (16 - 24, I guess qualifies) and these people will be deprived of 'training' opportunities. And the supposed 'working minimum wage adults' are almost non-existent. 

That got me wondering how exactly a $15/hr minimum wage can devastate the economy if so few people are going to be affected. In other words, you can't have it both ways, people.

b) If this $15/hr minimum wage is so devastating, you have to wonder why the economy didn't collapse when the GST was introduced. 

I dare say there is a bit of truth on both sides of the argument. So it sure would be nice to read something that takes a sober even-handed look at it. 

Not that I expect to read it here, of course.
