Alternatively '1/2 of a unit to 1/3 of a unit' since that's actually happened because people can't do fractions and simply focus on the number increasing.
The same kind that led to the fight for 15. People think more is better, so making more is always better. Then inflation makes more less, so people once again demand more. People in America can’t tell you basic arithmetic of income value versus income total, but they can tell you how racist white people are.
"Why are the wealthiest .001% getting so much more wealth? Idk, anyways, lets make everyone pay out 15 per hour, from mom and pop shops to walmart wait why did the shop close down and not walmart"
There used to be a somewhat satirical argument, when people talked about raising the minimum wage, to suggesting "why stop there?" and raising the minimum wage to $30, $50, even $100.
That argument is no good anymore because they'd probably say yeah, it's a great idea, why not $100 / hr?
It's a "Let them eat cake" moronic argument. Dollars are just the yardstick by which we measure wealth and not wealth itself. Inflation is the symptom of the real problem: that supply has fallen relative to demand.
What sort of moronic argument is this?

The kind that comes to give marching orders to the peons.
The kind that can only be made by someone who believes math is racist

The supply has artificially fallen relative to demand
