That job may be for me

2021-02-10 23:51:27 UTC  

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

2021-02-10 23:51:36 UTC  

Smokie , you’re a dope.

2021-02-10 23:51:58 UTC  

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

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?

2021-02-10 23:52:59 UTC  

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

2021-02-10 23:53:11 UTC  

Agreed

2021-02-10 23:53:38 UTC  

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

2021-02-10 23:53:54 UTC  

What assertion is wrong?

2021-02-10 23:54:16 UTC  

The assertion that the business owner should not be in business

2021-02-10 23:54:33 UTC  

The proposed hypothetical that I quoted, that Redbird quoted

2021-02-10 23:54:43 UTC  

I hate being mobile only. UGH

2021-02-10 23:54:48 UTC  

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

2021-02-10 23:54:57 UTC  

That’s a false dichotomy

2021-02-10 23:55:08 UTC  

You’re literally just trying to be a contrarian

2021-02-10 23:55:18 UTC  

I'm no bird!

2021-02-10 23:55:21 UTC  

How dare you!

KAW KAW

2021-02-10 23:56:33 UTC  

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

2021-02-10 23:56:38 UTC  

*contrarian noises*

2021-02-10 23:56:53 UTC  

Multiple jobs, passive income streams, partial retirement

2021-02-10 23:56:54 UTC  

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

2021-02-10 23:56:58 UTC  

No

2021-02-10 23:57:01 UTC  

Yes

2021-02-10 23:57:03 UTC  

You are

2021-02-10 23:57:07 UTC  

Lol

2021-02-10 23:57:12 UTC  

Yep, it's another false dichotomy

2021-02-10 23:57:13 UTC  

No you are!

2021-02-10 23:57:19 UTC  

Times infinity

2021-02-10 23:57:22 UTC  

Lmfao

2021-02-10 23:57:23 UTC  

Come on

2021-02-10 23:57:28 UTC  

Remember I’m a mathematician. I’m trained in logic and proofs

2021-02-10 23:57:41 UTC  

thats why i brought up the question of area

2021-02-10 23:58:01 UTC  

15 dollars where I live is more than a living wage, it's usually entry level for very professional positions

2021-02-10 23:58:16 UTC  

No one said living wage...

2021-02-10 23:58:18 UTC  

rent is far more expensive in nyc than say bum fuck kansas i would assume
