    That is a decent link - the article links both studies.

    Berkeley only looks at food service, Washington looks at the entire labor market. Berkeley is not superior methodologically that I can see - it is studying a smaller cross section.

    What specific methodological issues did you find?

      You've won the internet for today.
      The Internet belongs to me, I don't remember licensing it for your raffle. We shall discuss this fraudulent award distribution at length during your monthly Drama Club review.

        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          That reminds me of how, when I was still but a lad, the state of South Dakota sort of paid folks to hunt prairie dogs which wrecked havoc on farmlands. They offered a bounty of something like 2˘ per tail from one, which barely covered the cost of the .22 round that was used.

                Yup. And my very first outing -- the second time I ever shot a rifle -- I got roughly 75% of them which was just below what my two older, and very experienced cousins got

                    It was likely my great uncle Tom (my grandmother on my mother's side brother-in-law[1]) since it was his farm.

                      wouldn't his father's brother's nephew be HIM?

                              I'm for a $15 minimum wage?
                              Why?

                              Because if I'm for it I'm popular and when it fails I don't have to take heat for it - because when liberal ideas fail nobody is ever called to account for it.
                              That is the fun part about being liberal.
                              Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
