He's so confidently wrong; the whole concept of a "minimum wage" is that it's the *minimum* income necessary to live on. It's been decades since that was the case.

also, I'm not a fashion person, but it's been my experience with all sorts of products that the more they cost, the longer they last (though obviously there's a point of diminishing returns). A $200 pair of shoes lasts far longer than a $50 pair. Being cheap often costs you in the long run.

Quality runs counter to Consumerism. If you make something well enough, you only need to buy one of something. When everyone has one, the game ends. Currently we are emptying the tank to make junk we know won’t last
