Spoiler alert, true.

I pointed to a shifting consensus position, he denied it, I pointed to an outrageous example of the warping of normalcy in his own backyard. That clear it up for you?

> he denied it

Who denied what now? Can you quote the denial, I'm not seeing it.

"Well, here we are in Australia, 115+ years on and this is still yet to happen.

Any ideas on when your predicted outcomes will kick in?"

And the question stands.

If a minimum living wage leads to economic collapse .. when will that happen (given that's not yet happened after 115+ years in practice)?

And the answer remains the same: a redefinition of what constitutes the standard of living is far more likely than "economic collapse"... it is already happening.
