i think there is a similar law in the UK

Ah

that basically allows for on going judicial processes to remain secret until they are through

it was George Pell

@Similar Scowl Economic debate?

is there anything to debate

i imagine i'd agree with you on most stuff

idk what do you believe

i think i'm a centrist in economy lol

though i'm more inclined towards free market

there should be some regulations to protect workers

and then i think the state should have protectionist measures for essential industries in the country, like infrastructure

What regulations

as in just an example or so

I mean, I'm no economist, but I think minimum salary is important, unions and other things that help the workers bargaining for good job conditions are the main things

Why do you believe a minimum wage is good?

because people are too stupid to know how to bargain for a good salary

But what if I told you a minimum wage hurts more than it helps

and a good healthy nation cant have people take advantage of others in worse conditions for materialistic needs

i know what you're going to say

the ancap argument that minimum salary often creates unemployment

the point of minimum salary is to garantee that those who are working are at least earning something that can get them through the month

and these people would be the bottom of the barrel obviously

But it won't because

it'll cause inflation

and unemployment which means you mess up more people than you try to save

infact you save no one since real wages will fall

And you'll cause businesses to shut down

hang on

mhm

you think minimum wage is the gov just giving out a shit ton of money with no regard for averages on income and other statistics?

No

it's setting an income

that employers have to meet

Since it's higher costs, business owners will raise prices

= inflation

and unemployment too and lower working hours

since they need to keep the costs

or they'll shut down

the minimum salary would have to be adjusted to a number that would least effect normal real wages and at the same time provide a acceptable income for low paying jobs

you gotta balance it out
