Donna makes a good point here. Leftists are so wrapped up in their beloved idea that political activism is THE way to improve life for the “downtrodden” that they’re perfectly indifferent to the adverse consequences for individuals. To them, the symbol of legislating higher pay is such enormous value that no amount of evidence of real world harm could ever get them to turn away from it.
Can anyone point to any instance of a government intervention in the market that leftists later revoked or even criticized because of its bad consequences? I can’t.
