How?
what if someone can only afford to pay less than minimim wage
The minimum wage is blocking people's access into the free market and cutting off their access to different jobs
Ok? Then do it
But I ain’t gonna trust a multi national corporation to decide how much I get paid
Minimum wage is reducing the job pool, overall reducing competition meaning everyone is getting payed less

@DontBeAnIdgit the goverment centrally planning your income is better?
but they would have an incentive to pay you more so their own reputation would get boosted
The government should have very few regulations in the economy. One of those few is minimum wage.
if you had a company, they would want to pay you more money as your wage, so their reputation in the market would be at stake there
Minimum wage is one of the worst regulations
it's not like they have an incentive to pay you less, it's the other way around
and the minimum wage should only be there to prevent companies from underpaying employees
> and the minimum wage should only be there to prevent companies from underpaying employees
@DontBeAnIdgit there is no underpaying if someone agrees on working for a low amoubt
Reputation doesn't matter as much as pinching pennies
but companies are not going to actually underpay their employees, not to mention that some buisnesses may not be able to afford to pay the minimum wage
yeah well nobody’s gonna agree to work for a low amount
it's blocking off access to certain jobs
the labour market is a market just like any other market
> yeah well nobody’s gonna agree to work for a low amount
@DontBeAnIdgit there are people who arent really productive but still want to make some buck
Yeah
I just realized that a commie would be pulling their hair out reading this conversation
That’s not the point is it
I believe in having a minimum price for employees
but like some buisnesses may not be able to afford to pay the minimum wage
If ya don’t work you get less
Hell don’t give me anything if they don’t work
But if they work, then they should get paid enough for their job
like I said Minimum wage is making jobs illegal overall reducing the supply meaning everyone gets payed less beacuse of less competition
Name a job that is illegal because of minimum wage
any job that used to be below minimum wage lol
Name them
there is nothing to name
Exactly
It doesn't make specific jobs illegal, but practices
Thank you for proving my point
Fruitpicking comes to mind
> Thank you for proving my point

you like guns? Name every gun.
That’s not what I asked is it?
