I guess lifting families out of poverty doesn't count as anything 'concrete'.

The minimum wage doesn't impact enough breadwinners for it to be about that. Unless you're conceding that those who favor a minimum wage increase are misinformed.

By definition, for you it IS arbitrary, because you don't care for the well-being of the people being affected by this.

There is no well-being benefit for this. It's a net negative because of the impacts.

Luckily for me, both history and nearly every economist agree with my interpretation for what an economy means to a society. Fortunately, nobody with any sense advocates what you advocate.

And your evidence?
