Except it doesn't
“I mean I could pay my workers minimum wage so they can afford food and maybe even give them healthcare so they can be healthy. But instead I’ll pay them a few cents an hour and replace them when they die”
When it comes to philosophy I'm a weird combination between Objectivism, Humanism, and Existentialism.
Yeah
And guess what
what about the FISH philosophy
Its perfectly fine for an employer to do that
Yeah no it’s not.
Would you like to be treated like that?
Swizterland doesn't have a minimum wage and their economy is fantastic. Same with Hong Kong and Singapore.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
You'd have to be fucking stupid
To let yourself be treated like that
well america needed to create a minimum wage, as it became a real issue with out it.
guess what tomorrow is
Their economies are great, yeah. But in Sweden people still get paid decently because having people who can spend money back into the economy benefits everyone.
if you dont learn from your past you are doomed to repeat it
Employers have the right to pay their employees what they want. When you get a job you are in mutual agreement with your employer and you accept their proposed wage.
it's not like slavey or anything

Yeah well guess what. When you’re starving, poorly educated, and dying, and the only option is working at a sweatshop because you’re in a third world country, what choice is there?
dont get a job and die
Well that's a different context.
Oh wait, this was the climate of America in the early 1900s
That's a third world country lol
I tell you what the choice is
Dont be a victim, find another way around it
If you don't thats your fault
Where hundreds burned to death in a factory because the boss decided fire escapes were too expensive and locked the doors so unionists couldn’t enter.
thats why they reformed
Yeah, tell that to the poor.
why is this relevant to modern america
There's always a way out.
Yeah we did. Because it was ETHICAL
yeah there is. Jumping to your death.
Let me clarify that I'm not against regulations.
Only price controls.
I'm a free market guy. not a laissez faire guy
Right. No regulation=triangle shirtwaist fire
