I had actually considered telling them that whatever they're doing isn't enough. Like, if they think the wage should be 15, it really should be 30

By putting forth a number which most people would regard as very high you force them to correct you, or risk scaring off the general population

just to see how far I could push them into lunacy

Not everyone has an IQ above 90. Yet these people are denied entry to the workforce due to minimum wage restrictions thus placing undue pressure on social welfare programs.

This is sort of an extension of the 15-30 effort, but its increased to allow for maximum shock value

Raiding the minimum wage will only serve to accelerate automation in effort to defray the cost, driving more underprivileged workers out of the workforce.

There's no need for a legal min wage when the welfare state already creates a wage floor.

Just finished watch chunk vs tuck it was decent the hour def flew by

I don't need them getting mad at me because I apparently showed that they were wrong

and if they start using your 110 number or saying things like "professors and staff should be paid the same" during their protests later you will know beyond a reasonable doubt that they have no goal in mind

they have no goal in mind?

then why are they protesting in the first place

No specific number that they want achieved

Accelerating automation is beneficial, though.

look guyz .. we can be just like termites https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/science/termites-colonies-males.html

Protesting isnt to affect change, its to show displeasure with soemthing

kill all the menz

No larger goal is necessary

I thought we were like lobsters?

McDonalds is piloting a nearly fully automated restaurant in several key cities in direct response to pressures to raise minimum wage. This will get accelerated when that happens and drive thousands of workers elsewhere to find employment and health benefits.

LOBSTERKING BTFO RIGHT WING NPCS REKT

lol srsly... "Now, add “overthrowing the patriarchy” to that list."

I think street protesting is mostly virtue signaling theater.

yes... the termites have overthrown the patriarchy .. by killing all the men...

hm, I think I might see what you're saying. If I give them the "morally superior answer" (Canada is better than drumph's America reeeeee) and they disagree with it, I'd force them to rethink their entire argument?

This kind of automation is also being explored by large companies like Walmart and Amazon who are already highly automated. Minimum wage increases have historically reduced the labor pool of low-income wage earners and will continue to do so by most estimates.

"Tanya Dapkey, an entomologist at the University of Pennsylvania, said that there was much to learn from successful “societies in nature run without any input from males.”"

the termites can fuck off, "real journalism"

Yes thats correct. Assuming that they have no goal in mind and they're protesting for the moral reason of a "liveable wage" they should default to the most moral position possible. Until now theyve been fed generalizations, however by giving them a number it brings them back to reality instead of allowing their minds to fill in the blanks naturally.

I like the idea of putting up more posters during the night explaining this

Just remember to post a picture of them here before you post them irl

hopefully a lot of people won't see me so no one will know who did it

You can't just increase minimum wage and say that you'll "re-train" unskilled laborers who get displaced by the automation as a result. This is a myth perpetuated by politicians who ignore the basic truth that not all people are in fact "equal" and some simply are not capable of taking on more highly skilled work requiring higher cognition.

Because im sure everyone remembers when the media depicted "its ok to be white" posters as "white supremacist posters"

because if they decide that the new number is a better answer, won't they try to reign me in as a "hero" for the movement

They shouldnt, that would threaten whatever control the organizers already have over the protest/movement

how can you be so sure? I'd assume they'd adopt whatever makes them look the best, even if it hurts their cause

think TERFs

Are you a minority or white? and are you a male or female?

I'm a white male lol

I'm their face of evil

you think theyll want the face of evil at the head of their movement?

hm, good point

Besides you can always refuse them

You might be overstating the disruption because people with IQ < 90 are mostly unemployable already.

its not like they can force you to take part in the protest

well, what happens if I get caught? what you said about the "it's okay to be white" posters

if they assume I'm just trying to upset people, I'll get the bias response team or some shit breathing down my neck

If you get caught doing what? putting up posters?

Any politician who claims to be fighting for "equality" is fundamentally corrupt. People don't want to hear that humans are much more complex and variant along three axis that drive their relative success

Values - those principles that are held most dearly and usually imbued during childhood and by culture. Not everyone is equal and shares the same values. For example, Islam's treatment of women.

Skills- those things that are learned by training or by experience. Again, this is highly variant.

Abilities- those things that come naturally. For example, those able to play basketball professionally are typically very tall.

I think they could easily frame it as "vandalizing" since I'm putting up something right next to them

though I guess I don't have to put it next to them in the first place

Unless you're putting them on top of the other things its not a worry

Maybe you need a permit or something to do it and you might get some trouble for that

but its usually just fines

I see a lot of fliers going up without permits.

I like this idea. The reeing will be amusing to say the least

<:NPC:500042527231967262>

Remember, the media will frame you as evil no matter what you do

But you sound like youve been paying attention so you know their playbook and you know what they're going to do

I've got class so I'm off. We can talk about this more later, I've got a number of things to do today

If you have an IQ below 90, you don't possess the required ABILITY to perform more highly skilled labor requiring higher cognition- therefore the market cannot support what value you provide at a 15 dollar rate.

It's not "hate" it's just cold hard reality

So what we should be doing to help those people is fight to abolish the minimum wage entirely.

I'm actually arguing for the more compassionate position to benefit the most people in the real world.

Yet I'm the "evil" center-right libertarian jew

An IQ below 110 is a "simpleton" eh?

<:ReminaEye:485363422326816789> ~ <:ReminaEye:485363422326816789>

If I remember correctly

Apparently everything is "center right" outside of socialism and its variants

110 was average right?

>believing in IQ

IQ doesn't exist

The fact is, there are people who don't have the ability to provide market value at or above 15 dollars. They deserve to have the dignity of earning a wage the market will support

IQ was made up by Australia, which also does not exist

HA take that ya cunts!

Earning a wage shouldnt be the main focus of a person's life, social welfare should pick up the slack of those who are unable to find work

This is also the same argument against collective bargaining. It eliminates market mobility and competition that allows entry level workers to enter the markets to compete.

assuming that they have a good reason for such a thing beyond laziness that is

I believe in collective bargaining when it comes to workplace safety issues that affect the well being of workers. I'm opposed to it when it comes to wages.

Alright. Well if I get the job officially today I'll have been unemployed for 4 work days

Minimum salary requirements almost always wind up hurting the poorest people

ofc the pedo state rep is for abortion

abort the evidence is likely his motto

Wait.

Wait wait wait.

Why would the pedo be pro-abortion.

That's less fuckmeat.

They sound good on paper but in reality aren't as effective as their proponents claim and almost always wind up in massive social welfare expansion.

Milton Friedman excellently pointed this out many years ago. I highly encourage everyone to go check out his talks on YouTube.
