Would you pay double the price for berries? Triple? And if so, what would you stop buying to do that? It is simply not true that people will buy berries regardless of price. If it was, berries would be ten times the price you pay today. Berry producers and distributors constantly struggle to...

More expensive, yes, to a point, as long as wages are increasing too. Prohibitively expensive? No.

What I said, and what I do, is pay our trainers more money to work at our gym than they can make at any other gym in town. I do not pay them the self-employed housecleaning rate of $50-$80 an hour. I pay them about 10% more than they could make if they worked at a competing gym. It is my goal to...

Additionally, people would stop buying berries. Farmers would be left to let their crops die on the vine and/or to sell at steep losses and eventually go out of business. You can't raise prices at will without consequences. Price does not exist in a vacuum.

Over-simplistic answer. Everything works in theory. If it was that easy, labor prices would be already raised to that fantasy level and the jobs would be instantly filled. One of my employees works part time as a self-employed, part-time house cleaner. She charges $50-$80 per hour, depending on...

What's Going on in the US House of Representatives Now? Per the New York Post: "House Republicans] have a majority of just five votes, but hold the whip hand at a time when Democrats’ policies on the economy, inflation, crime and immigration are wildly unpopular. "But instead of seizing the...

Example of robots replacing labor.

Republicans don't seem to notice that DOJ just indicted the chairman of a US Senate committee, not long after they also indicted the president's son. When a Republican is indicted, Republicans scream the DOJ is corrupt. When a Democrat is indicted, silence.

So because that happened in the past, it is true today, even though current data shows otherwise?

I have no way to confirm that, and neither do you. Common MAGA tactic. If you don't know something, make it up.

That's a nice solution in theory. The problem is, it's not happening because workers cannot be found to replace the migrants at any price. You could say they would find people if they paid $50 an hour where they used to pay minimum wage or less (illegal employment). It has not gotten that far...

I did not speak to her in depth about this. She just said she was leaving FL because of the politics. Regarding educators, see this: https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/education/professors-leaving-florida-over-desantis-policies/77-a334d544-c40c-4435-864b-0faa0bd3f520

I see some people leaving. The article linked above illustrates why thousands of migrants are leaving for other states. Just this week, we lost a gym member to FL politics. This black, female medical doctor moved to a northern state to escape the negatives of being here in Florida. I've heard...

Make no mistake. There are a lot of people in Florida who love DeSantis, but his status is diminished and the number of DeSantis lovers is declining, as the article you shared illustrates. In case some readers miss your tiny MSN link, here's a bigger link to that story. Employers lose migrant...

For me, DeSantis was not a disappointment for not unseating Trump. DeSantis was a disappointment, period.
