My question would be for @[TDE] Smokie

This is how it should work. Businesses should only provide market value compensation, it's all they can reasonably afford too

Why do you think a job must pay a living wage? Is it because you cannot imagine alternative life arrangements that would work out with that?

I don't think it should.

I never said it should

What if I’m semi retired and have partial retirement income and don’t need a full working income?

That job may be for me

And now that I’ve gone and read back...

Smokie , you’re a dope.

And no one mentioned the term "Living wage" which is definitely different than "A wage you can live off". One is a term used by people to say they want to live comfortably and like every other communist brother, the other says you pay someone and they say alive

Potato podildo

Lol. Name calling now huh? @Rev

> Hypothetical: someone tells you "If you run a business and cannot afford to pay your employees a wage they can live off, you should not be in business." What do you respond with?

The question has a very simple answer, and the answer is the assertion is wrong.

Agreed

It makes a blanket judgement. On the basic principle that absolutes are almost always wrong, the assertion is wrong.

What assertion is wrong?

The assertion that the business owner should not be in business

The proposed hypothetical that I quoted, that Redbird quoted

I hate being mobile only. UGH

So back to what I said, how can a business be open if people die because they work there?

That’s a false dichotomy

You’re literally just trying to be a contrarian

I'm no bird!

How dare you!

Sustained

KAW KAW

Just because a business doesn’t pay an employee enough money to survive doesn’t mean the employee will die

*contrarian noises*

Multiple jobs, passive income streams, partial retirement

So you're assuming things outside the scope of the original question?

No

Yes

You are

Lol

Yep, it's another false dichotomy

No you are!

Times infinity

Lmfao

Come on
