Our business has a $70k min wage, a median wage close to $100k, full benefits, 3% 401(k) grants & unlimited paid parental leave.

We've had over 300 applicants per job opening this year.

There's no labor shortage. There's a shortage of jobs with a living wage and basic benefits.

1. That is it. Go back to work and make no money.

2. I can't see what he wrote...

There's this elephant in the way.

What's it say?

3. Dan Price is a trailblazer. I wish more would follow his lead.

4. $34 per hour minimum wage as he suggests would be interesting

Wonder how many jobs would be outsourced to Mexico, China, Vietnam or India though?

5. He didn't suggest that, you merely inferred it.

He made no mention, implicitly or explicitly of raising the minimum wage to $34/hr.

You probably (and inaccurately) projected the example of his pay schedule he set for his company onto the totality.
