Minimum wage is reducing the job pool, overall reducing competition meaning everyone is getting payed less

PS5 fanboys have a melt down

> But I ain’t gonna trust a multi national corporation to decide how much I get paid
@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 didnt prove anything lol

you like guns? Name every gun.

That’s not what I asked is it?

I said to name a job that is illegal because of minimum wage

I can name guns, not every gun, but I can name quite a few

Most of the people who do it are "contract workers" who come up for pennies, send everything back to their home country

You can’t name a single job that is illegal because of minimum wage

But the minimum wage is banning certain jobs from existing due to that some buisnesses may be unable to pay their employees the wage set by the government
