I think the minimum wage should be entirely abolished. Let people learn that they can negotiate for their wages.
Minimum wage also fosters a sense of entitlement to a certain income.
Worse still is a real solution exists, but litterally nobody wants to hear it. 😒
Which real solution
Alternatives to gasoline.
Okay
a solution to which problem ? lol
The solution to the minimum wage problem is not too raise minimum wages endlessly (and often fecklessly), but to develop alternatives to gasoline and deisel fuels for automotive use.
Happy now?
I'm afraid i don't understand
the solution to the minimum wage problem is to change nothing except use electric cars instead of what we're using now?
... ¿Did I say *anything* about electric?
No, but that's the alternative we've got
which alternative would you like? Hydrogen?
If not hydrogen then which one would you prefer?
And how does using alternative fuels for automobiles remove the need for minimum wage or UBI?
I wish I could post pics
But minus the meme....my answer is working on battery tech
The solution to minimum wage is to abolish the minimum wage, heavily restrict immigration, repatriate all illegals and encourage people to live near their extended families.

I don't see how alternative fuels for automobiles fixes anything other than temporarily making it a little cheaper to fuel your vehicle and/or reduce climate change etc.
But I'd like to hear his explanation
We have diesel, electric, and hydrogen cars already
If we could convince 80-90% of women to leave the workforce and also stop the flood of immigration then wages would rise naturally back to the point that a single middle-class income would comfortably support a family. Then we could tackle the housing prices with a *severe* property tax on foreign landholders. Then we'd be in a position to start discussing government action on fuel alternatives, which is not really a problem in the US because we are a fuel exporter.
But I too would like to hear what this magical solution looks like.
One way to reduce our fuel usage/automobile outputs is to tax people that live far from their place of work.
I've got way to many coworkers with "Keep tahoe blue" stickers and green new deal garbage that commute 1.5 hours *each way* to work in their oh so efficient Hybrids. Meanwhile i drive my 1963 ford 1 mile (EDIT: 1 mile to work from my house) and use 10% the amount of fuel they do each week.
But it's hardly a large problem, automobile exhaust.
A *much* easier way to accomplish the same goal is just to tax the fuel more heavily.
That will naturally incentivize people to drive less.
doesnt seem to work in california
people are driving farther and farther because houses in center of the cities are millions of dollars
1000sq ft house is a million dollars so they commute 1.5 hours to live in a 1000sq ft house that costs $350,000
It would eventually. But I try not to use California as an example of anything because they are halfway to communism and their markets are totally fucked.
Yea true it's a horrible example
^That's where my punitive taxes on foreign landholders come in.
I don't think "tax the gas" is automatically the solution to reduce gas usage though
Personally i think getting penalized for driving 1.5 hours to work would be successful
Force them to sell and the prices will drop.
There is a whole constellation of policies that have been working over 60-plus years that have made our societies far too addicted to driving long distances.
Suburban mono-zoning for instance
I don't think people in Billings should be penalized like people living near NYC or LA or The Bay Area though lol
The Federal gov doesn't need to be involved at all.
