For hamburger flippers? A 25% increase in wage might well be superlinear for some of them (eg better circumstances and opportunities for kids)

Yeah but the other people lost their jobs and 100% of wages. So you can compare net utility gain or loss.

[simianwords]

[skrebbel]

Yes and I was responding solely to your expansion, which I believe is inapplicable here.
