Cool.

@Maw somebody has to come last in society. is that ethical? its a matter of fact. peoples talents and skills are not distributed uniformly

Again not talking about wealth redistribution, stop thinking I am.

@Maw to prevent corruption, have fewer politicians and pay them more (obscenely more)

What?

@Maw yes

I can't even.

@Zuluzeit Help me here. I need to do my hair.

Actually the cost of goods increase due to cost of production. It has very little to do with supply and demand?

you have to be prepared to have much fewer people making decisions. this makes the system more accountable. so its very clear who is corrupt

you have to pay them obscene amounts of money. money is why people take bribes and become corrupted. if there is no financial reward there is little incentive

As I said, this isn't about minimum wage, it's about businesses doing unethical things which influences the job market, and therefore the supply of jobs (and therefore the job's average wage). It has nothing to do with the minimum wage, it has to do with businesses taking advantage of illegal immigrants, much the same way as businesses go out of America to create sweatshops.

the cost of goods would affect both supply and demand

Stop thinking it's about wealth redistribution, for the love of God.

Now I'm going to do my hair brb

I know. I didn't Tag you I'm my comment.

i dont get it either, you are surprised that people take advantage of lower cost labor?

ask apple, they are willing to go to court to protect their right to exploit low cost labor

I believe if we want to address the use of using illegal Employees we should go after the Employers not the Employees.

or stop buying things from companies that engage in practices you dont approve of, vote with your wallet

Unfortunately as a General Rule People are selfish and care about self interests. The Cheapest Price!

people will buy shoes made from hide of the rural canadian, if they think that gets them laid.

That's kinda the point of economic regulation, yes.

Unfortunately this is why I'm called a market-skeptic!

The Desire for Personal or Instant Gratification is a powerful Marketing Tool?

The free market theory doesn't exactly work as advertised.

On a Global scale I would say Yes.

Nike is still doing just fine.

So is Apple.

Also let me know how Microsoft will do if they do things that the general public disagrees with.

it works exactly as advertised.

Not really, but you're entitled to your opinion.

@Maw. Biden seem more interested in Internal Tax Reform rather than Trade Agreements to level the Field in the US?

china pays lower wages so companies move there or hire cheaper labor. thats perfectly rationale. it wont be that way forever because as their standard of living increases their wages will rise too

And I agree with this, strangely enough!

I'd like both, but if you could choose only one, I'd choose tax reform.

he meant to say reform his own taxes

Tax the Medical Doctor more than adjusting the Trade Indifference?

Tax the corporation that utilizes critical infrastructure more than the individual that utilizes it less.

Or you know, actually tax them at all in certain cases.

I protest, my Lord!
