Socialism = government OWNS the means of productions as well as manages all of the market.

Nice one

blexit when?

I take objection to the notion that regulation is the way to stop monopolies (excepting direct antitrust laws, of course) because Mega ConGlomCorp or whatever has the money to tank regulations and wage hikes that smaller businesses don't have the money or resources to survive. There's precedent of big companies advocating things like minimum wage hikes and government regulation (can link if needed but will need a few minutes), presumably to kill off smaller businesses. Thoughts?
EDIT: Oh, and to say nothing of how smaller businesses don't have the legal resources to navigate the labyrinthine law code.

Kaden, enough about our love life...

Minimum wage is a falacy. Because every time it is raised. Say like here from 7 to 10. Well that raise wont matter as the cost of living quickly raises to match it. As businesses have to pay for that somehow.

Or just hire touch screens instead

^

Or take Kaden for example: Is folding clothes really worth $15/hr?

So in the end mininum wage can be 2 dollars 10 or 50. The cost of living will always adjust so becomes mute

I agree. What do you think of my thoughts on regulation hurting small business instead of the large ones they're supposed to keep in check, though?

Eh. Anti trust, and worker safety laws should be the only ones on the books to be honest

The gove should step out otherwise

More markets

Government should only ever come in as a last resort

Unfortunate thing with minimum wage is that not only does it lead to inflation but it also involves layoffs

Even then, if they just require business insurance, the insurer would just require the biz to have safety programs in place (as many do)

but muh fight for $15

I wish it worked honestly but it doesnt

followed by muh fight for $25

Why does the govt prevent me from hiring a warehouse sweeper for $5/hr part time?

I need my floors swept, and some high school kid wants fun money

@Fitzydog well doubt anyone eould take the position at 5 an hour
