Quote Of The Day: Minimum Wage Edition
By Mitch Berg
Kevin Williamson on the stupid futility of raising the minimum wage:
Dollars are just a method of keeping count, and mandating higher wages for work that has not changed at all is, in the long run, like measuring yourself in centimeters instead of inches in order to make yourself taller, or tracking your weight in kilograms instead of pounds as a means of losing weight. The gentlemen in Washington seem to genuinely believe that if they measure their penises in picas they’ll all be Jonah Falcon — in reality, their interns won’t notice any difference.
It is kind of a rush to say I’m 5,544 pixels tall – until I get to “pixels”.

Sexist.
Or Amy Koch measuring her bra size in millimeters. It wouldn’t impress her pal Brodkorp.

pixels are a relative measurement. Not all pixels are created the same.

You would figure that those who are most strongly in favor of a floating (as opposed to specie/gold/silver) currency would figure out that changing the numbers merely changes the numbers (and incentivizes games with the currency a la George Soros), but apparently not.
