How would you?

2018-12-12 19:35:44 UTC  

it would always cause inflation

2018-12-12 19:35:52 UTC  

and higher unemployment

2018-12-12 19:35:59 UTC  

it's an increased forced cost on a firm

2018-12-12 19:36:16 UTC  

Artificially increasing wages hurts more people

2018-12-12 19:36:16 UTC  

well you'd manage inflation, all countries have inflation. and it's not always bad to have some or create more

2018-12-12 19:36:26 UTC  

Because real wages would fall

2018-12-12 19:36:40 UTC  

you would raise the minimum wage
>employees fire, lower working hours, increase prices of goods

2018-12-12 19:36:45 UTC  

so they end up worse than before

2018-12-12 19:36:57 UTC  

then they'll demand higher wages and the cycle will repeat again with more casualties

2018-12-12 19:37:22 UTC  

sorry if i sound like a cop out but i *really* dont want to jump into this rabbit hole

2018-12-12 19:37:38 UTC  

nah its k

2018-12-12 19:37:41 UTC  

there are obviously problems with regulations

2018-12-12 19:37:49 UTC  

they create problems too

2018-12-12 19:37:57 UTC  

but it's about picking the lesser of two evils

2018-12-12 19:38:09 UTC  

the lesser of the too evils

2018-12-12 19:38:11 UTC  

or the good would be

2018-12-12 19:38:14 UTC  

removing the regulations

2018-12-12 19:38:24 UTC  

Wages will automatically reach market level

2018-12-12 19:38:32 UTC  

in my country if our minimum wage was removed people would be earning very little

2018-12-12 19:38:39 UTC  

because people dont know how to bargain

2018-12-12 19:38:45 UTC  

and dont know their worth on the market

2018-12-12 19:39:12 UTC  

what country?

2018-12-12 19:39:17 UTC  

it's not about bargining

2018-12-12 19:39:25 UTC  

Employees would have to pay them a good amount to keep them

2018-12-12 19:39:37 UTC  

if they were needed lol

2018-12-12 19:39:52 UTC  

you can replace the woman that is cleaning corridors at your office in no time

2018-12-12 19:40:22 UTC  

we're not talking about IT guys that are very valueable on the market

2018-12-12 19:40:28 UTC  

and can very easily know their worth

2018-12-12 19:41:20 UTC  

i can see you are a very liberal guy so i guess i should also point out my liberal ideas on the market

2018-12-12 19:41:28 UTC  

low taxation is good

2018-12-12 19:41:51 UTC  

creating an enviroment where capital can be invested to create jobs is ideal

2018-12-12 19:42:41 UTC  

people should have acess to a variety of choices of their prefered services

2018-12-12 19:42:52 UTC  

etc etc

2018-12-12 19:43:01 UTC  

idk this is just standard stuff

2018-12-12 19:43:05 UTC  

lol

2018-12-12 19:43:09 UTC  

"you can replace the woman that is cleaning corridors at your office in no time

2018-12-12 19:43:14 UTC  

Yes there would be competition in the labour market

2018-12-12 19:43:24 UTC  

and employees would have to pay well

2018-12-12 19:44:21 UTC  

do you think there are more business looking for people to clean their offices than people looking for that sort of job?

2018-12-12 19:44:54 UTC  

because that would be the only way that the employee would have less to lose than the employer
