Dear Lloyd:
I should have stopped filling out your biased survey when I saw your first question: you left no option for getting rid of the min wage entirely. I’m such a wuss.
Best regards,
Walter

There was one for 750 and below, which I thought covered that. Thanks.

Dear Lloyd:
Yes, that’s the one I chose. But still ….
Yes, it “covered” it. But don’t you want to know even more? You gave so many other options.
Check your bias, I suggest.
Best regards,
