Absolutely. The article in question is about how it runs counter to increasing said wages instead, and the comment I'm replying to I think is saying if we raise wages tips will raise. Which is true, short term.


I mean, wages have been increasing. Legislated wages are a vanishingly small portion of earned wages, except in the states with the highest minimum wages relative to market rates (and then usually only in the least-developed areas in those states, which is also where those legislated wages are likely to cause unemployment).
