"The labor shortage is from years and years of never increasing the minimum wage."
100% wrong.
The labor shortage is from years and years of the liberal "War on Skills".
Liberals do NOT want people working. Working leads to independence. Independence leads people to see through liberal bullshit. Seeing through liberal bullshit leads to voting for people that do not subscribe to that disgusting way of life.
Liberals solved this "problem" by growing the welfare state. Millions of people sit around and collect just enough to live. They have no motivation to work. You could crank minimum wage up to $30/hour tomorrow (for the sake of discussion, let's assume there wouldn't be an economic implosion when that happened) and you would still see millions of people refuse to work since they get more than enough from government handouts.
Liberals promote all sorts of other social spending for job training (i.e. "learn to code" kinds of programs at various universities and community colleges). Sadly, these are not used. Social workers don't even promote them. There is absolutely no motivation to improve some people's lives when they're given barely enough to exist w/o having to work for it. Moreover, as mentioned before, liberals cannot stand individual liberty. They hate work for that reason ... it makes people independent.
Remember, the only thing they care about is power over people's lives. Liberals fight for a higher minimum wage because it sounds good. They know it won't do anything to solve problems.
