i think automation will naturally push people to cheaper places b/c land/property is a finite resource that machines can't create more of

lol inflation doesnt happen out of wealth redistribution

I didn't say it causes inflation. But if labor is more expensive, that inevitably makes costs of productivity increase, which in turn makes prices go up.
I've seen it happen over and over in Argentina.

Prices go up > Companies raise salaries > Costs increase > Prices go up

It's a Neverending cycle

But like the problem is that over the last 30 years the cost of everything slowly went up but what everyone was making didn’t

Oh I probably wasn’t clear in my point. My point was minimum wage changes now don’t matter, cus of how little was done over the last 30 years.

I think ppl arguing $15 minimum wage for amazon employees being absurd while Jeff bezos is worth 130 billion dollars are just ignorant aholes. However $15 minimum wage won’t really change sht in the grand scheme of things lol

I am not saying that all aspects of capitalism are perfect, but, matt, what is the alternative, in your view, to what the U.S. uses now?

idealistically, a marxist utopia

but the basic idea is that we should care and provide for people in need

People should be more willing to move to less populated, cheaper parts of their respective country rather than complaining that the cost of living in their current area is too high.

No $15 min wage.

No one lives in those sh*t towns because there’s no work there and it’s boring af.

Minimum wage doesn’t really matter anymore because over the last 30 years it wasn’t raised to combat yearly inflation ,

But that will only make the problem worse...

Huh?
