I was about to say
And the fact that companies need to get employees so they have to pay them well
They’d be controlled by the market
Yep
But realistically
They should be lowered
ye
I'm not opposed to no min wage
nor am I opposed to a lower one
but opposed to a higher one
Because a completely free market capitalist country is hard to do at this moment
Would be hard
ye
I'm not even advocating for it
I don’t know how you could be pro higher minimum wage
neither
Even my economically retarded ass understands that it makes no sense
lmao
I like this server I get to actually learn about shit
I would also like to abolish min wage, but I know that can't happen
if it were abolished, then yes the free market would determine the wage, but for low skill labor such as being a stocker at a grocery store, you wouldn't be paid well at all
most people don't have the skills to find well paying jobs, and if they did, there would be mass shortages
You would be paid well
the market level would be a well paid job for that skill, and the market would just reallocate jobs
paid well for stocking shelves?
how much would you pay someone to do that
To keep employees yes, as firms compete for labour
but for a low skill job, you don't need to pay competitive wages
a lot of people can replace the guy going out because you don't need a skill
Easier than it sounds
You do or you won't get employees
well those people who reject the opportunity to work, what happens to them? they can't live off 0 income
Why would you reject the opportunity to work
that isn't an excuse to use other peoples money
But there are chruches, private charities etc
`You do or you won't get employees`
I mean theres not alot of people doing that job as you may think
Firms would still have to compete
are you saying that if a firm were to pay non competetive wages, that they would not get employees?
Not as many as needed, no
in a free market
