As usual, you take things to the extreme with flights into the
ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is to think government can determine wages or prices
better than the free market.

The average work needs the ability to get to his job. He
does NOT need a SawStop.

So dimwit, you think a minimum wage worker can get by on a Ryobi saw,
and losing a fing-ee means nothing to you, or are you saying if you make
minimum wage, the government should prevent you from buying a dangerous
saw as opposed to mandating equal access to the saw stop?

Let me put it so [hopefully] even a dimwit can understand. If I make
minimum wage $10/hr or $100/hr, Saw Stop will raise the price of their
saw relative to the raise in wages, as everyone wages will rise.
(adding zeros to everyone's freaking money does nothing)

If you want the minimum wage earner to afford an expensive saw, or car,
or anything, you will have to mandate the maximum price of the saw or
car as well. That never ends well and you eventually will be building
walls to keep your ****ing sorry ass citizens IN your country rather
than out.
