Let's just jump full bore into $100 dollar an hour wage so we can just destroy it, get over it, and never do it again.
You forgot to mention the part where businesses replace low level unskilled workers with automation due to artificially high salaries. Why hire a bunch of teens to flip burgers when a business can replace them with a burger flipping robot?
