Gee I'm sorry I didn't know about that BA in economics.
Maybe you could put it to good use by explaining to poor little me how doubling the wages of an estimated 3.5 million workers, out of a workforce of 144 million, employed in an estimated $200 billion sector of our $15 trillion dollar economy, will cut the purchasing power of a dollar in half. Because that's what would have to happen for "Inflation [to] even things out in the end".
That's quite a ripple effect. You must be afraid turn around for fear that you'll knock the Earth out of its orbit.
And frankly, despite you calling me an asshole, I am a bit concerned if a modest increase in the price of junk food would be a hardship on you. Because that would mean you're eating waaay too much of that crap for your own good. I confess I eat the stuff too, but at once a week, the hardship would be only $2.50/month. I'm not rolling in dough either, but my reaction to that has been increased empathy for other people who don't have much, not resentment toward them. I just don't think that improving the lives of 3.5 million fast food workers is going to hurt me one little bit. And it shouldn't hurt you either. Not unless you have an unhealthy obsession with junk food.
