If you read precisely past the point where you stopped quoting, you see their reasoning why this bad, the answer to your "And?"

Whether or not you agree with that answer, shouldn't that answer be the part you respond to, instead of deliberately misrepresenting what the poster you were responding to was saying?

My objection was to the word "artificial," (which is why I didn't quote further) as if mandating a minimum wage is somehow different from everything else we do with the economy. The "natural" economy doesn't exist, except insofar as the adjusted economy we have is the natural economy. Making changes from what is to what someone wants is entirely normal.
