No, we have discussions of ideas with Ban and Pat. It's you and Neut who are the disrupters on this board. |

If everything a person on a fixed income goes up and up and up what happens to them? We are not just talking about the cost of on burger. We are talking about the cost of everything going up. Then what happens to that person working at minim wage? When the cost of everything they buy goes up then what? Are they still making what you call a living wage? |

The cost of everything goes up, whether it's wages, materials, or fixed overhead. When material costs and fixed overhead costs go up, if wages don't keep pace, the person who doesn't get a raise loses ground. It's a simple concept and doesn't require a genius to understand it. |

No! That was my point in bringing up human motivation. Why would anybody want to produce more if they aren't going to be compensated for it? |

How can costs not go up when productivity stays the same? |
