The Narrowing Gyre Of Wonk

Shorter Megan McArdle:

Yesteryear: We can't raise minimum wage because it will destroy jobs.

Today: We can't raise minimum wage because it will destroy jobs in small cities.

Tomorrow: We can't raise minimum wage because it will hurt the coffee shop where I buy my cappuccino, not the one downtown but the one further down the street, you know, the one with the green awning. That one. It'll be a disaster, trust me.
