They want to raise wages, they really do. But do you know how inflationary that would be?
No, the good oligarch keeps wages low to protect the working classes from disaster.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

A $7.25/hr minimum wage is an absolute disgrace. Americans should not be forced to work for starvation wages.
We must raise the wage to at least $17/hr."

JMO, employers who pay so poorly their employees routinely depend on Medicaid, WIC, food stamps should face severe tax penalties to reimburse the tax payers. Then again we could just raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation. Or perhaps offer tax incentives to those paying reasonable wages.
70% of Americans who receive food stamps and Medicaid work full time, with Walmart one of the worst offenders as the country’s single largest employer.
Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize corporations who get away with paying poverty wages, especially not while raking in record profits.

Very interesting article and I admire Michael Pettis. I agree circumstances are different than in the 1930s and tariffs are more a tool than a universal evil.
But I don’t agree that the effects of tariffs in the US will be to raise wages even if production does increase.
But I don’t agree that the effects of tariffs in the US will be to raise wages even if production does increase.
I'm doubtful about this @michaelpettis.bsky.social argument because tariffs would strengthen the dollar, and the rates applied wouldn't overcome the expertise and infrastructure that China, the EU and other countries have developed in manufacturing. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Spare a thought for the retail workers, between the Christmas shoping, and New Year's sales, they are working flat out throughout the holidays - usually on precarious contracts, and for low wages.
