"The truth is never spoken, the truth just is." ????

Perhaps this?? "The truth is, whether spoken or not."

The answer to the minimum wage question is: Of course paying wages (of any kind) pulls down the wage payer. Hence the migrant worker. You are right, however, that an all-encompassing answer is not clear. Ignoring poverty is not an acceptable answer, and making it unduly difficult for an employer to make a profit is likewise not acceptable.

Unlike you, however, using and appreciating all aspects of perceptions of truth I find not at all discouraging. It's called "thinking".

Do you prefer to simply be propagandized?
