“It’s clear from the stories I read that Burger Nation doesn’t realize the predicament it’s in, nor does it understand the law of unintended consequences. Push on a balloon in one spot, a bulge appears elsewhere … which is to say that the status quo with consumer prices today will not be the status quo tomorrow when wages are $15 an hour. Salaries will go up, but so too will consumer prices, and the spending power of $15 will feel exactly like the spending power of $7 to $10 – and workers will have essentially gone nowhere economically, though America could find herself hamstrung by a new financial crisis — runaway inflation.”
