In the paper, Amanda Y. Agan of Rutgers University and Michael D. Makowsky of Clemson University analyzed the effect of 200 state and federal minimum wage increases on 6 million people released from prison between 2000 and 2014. What they found was striking: Raising the minimum wage by $0.50 reduced the chance that a person would end up incarcerated within a year by 2.8 percent.

Would someone give me the short version of this basic economics question? |

If they had taken that $20 bill from 1998 and invested it instead of buying all that junk food, they might have been able to fill their cart now.

Right, why don't the poors just invest their money instead of buying groceries? They could eat take-out, so what's the problem?

When told that her French subjects had no bread, Marie-Antoinette had the solution. It still applies. “Let them eat cake.”

There may be some cake in there. That 1998 grocery cart looked liked it was full of junk food, hence my previous comment.
