    @Mik i don’t mean it in the sense of “prices should be raised”.

    If a service is needed and prevented by economics, the economics will adjust.

      Economic adjustments can include closing the stores, of course.

      Education is extremely important.

        @Horace it would almost certainly be both. Higher prices and some people needing to lower consumption -> closures.

          Minimum wage at 40 hours per week is around $300. $10/hr would be $400/week. Federal unemployment benefits = $600, plus Louisiana unemployment benefits.

          People aren't crazy.

          And no dollar store can afford $20+ employees.

            Seems weird. Your state’s benefit is famously low and the federal one expired.

            Only non-witches get due process.

                "Nobody wants to work" is an absolutely incorrect statement. Better: "Many people don't want to work" (because unemployment is more profitable).

                There are reasons other than money that people prefer working to collecting unemployment. Pride; setting a good example for their children; following Gandhi's rule to "be the change you want to see".

                But for the store guy to assert that "nobody wants to work", this prevents him from admitting he's doing something wrong. Or, if he disapproves of unemployment benefits, "not finding" anybody who wants to work protects him from having to admit he's wrong. Some people will go down in flames before admitting to a mistake.

                            Is the math too difficult?
                            How about 10% below weekly takehome pay, to be figured out when filing taxes?
                            Make it obvious: you cannot get a government check that exceeds takehome pay, because you WILL pay it back. People lots smarter than me could figure this out.
