2019-01-12 20:15:54 UTC  

No the market will have to readjust

2019-01-12 20:15:56 UTC  

people work for cents per day

2019-01-12 20:15:58 UTC  

China was never capitalist

2019-01-12 20:16:01 UTC  

and still isn't

2019-01-12 20:16:06 UTC

People can’t survive right now with 8 an hour

2019-01-12 20:18:01 UTC  

Families need to have more than 3 jobs to survive now it’s sad

2019-01-12 20:18:19 UTC  

They would if dumbass Keyneisans let deflation happen

2019-01-12 20:18:22 UTC  

but of course not

2019-01-12 20:20:41 UTC  

oh in their data hong kong is #1

2019-01-12 20:20:45 UTC  

yea

2019-01-12 20:20:55 UTC  

but plenty of cheap products come from there that are made with low wages

2019-01-12 20:21:10 UTC  

Hong Kong has one of the highest incomes in the world

2019-01-12 20:21:16 UTC  

not to mention there is a min wage

2019-01-12 20:21:24 UTC  

It doesn't come from there anyways, it comes from China

2019-01-12 20:21:43 UTC  

It's why Hong Kong had such a rapid expansion

2019-01-12 20:21:49 UTC  

yes the min wage is 32.5 HKD

2019-01-12 20:21:56 UTC  

which is roughly 4 USD

2019-01-12 20:22:00 UTC  

What is that in USD?

2019-01-12 20:22:07 UTC  

Oh so that’s what sidd wants here

2019-01-12 20:22:09 UTC  

scaling for differences in cost of living

2019-01-12 20:22:13 UTC  

Let’s become China good idea

2019-01-12 20:22:17 UTC  

thats less money comparatively

2019-01-12 20:22:26 UTC  

A min wage still distorts the market

2019-01-12 20:22:33 UTC  

But no

2019-01-12 20:22:43 UTC  

If I said China I would say

2019-01-12 20:22:48 UTC  

let's regulate more and have a min wage with higher taxes

2019-01-12 20:22:49 UTC  

But I didn't

2019-01-12 20:23:44 UTC  

according to numbeo, hong kong experiences a higher cost of living compared to the US

2019-01-12 20:24:04 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-12 20:24:07 UTC  

with lower wages
