Love it

Wish I had food on the table

You are just spamming now.

You understand that people were able to sustain themselves before minimum wage, right?

Yeah, but today that would be impossible

Because a minimum wage was implemented

the entire sectors of both low and unskilled labor get flooded and unable to handle the influx of people

So the reason we can't get rid of minimum wage is because we have a minimum wage?

Yes

the addition of a class of people that are exempt from minimal wage (because they aren't citizens) though makes legal hiring of citizens a negative

The problem has existed too long

^

Its not fixable anymore

Systems tend to self-correct

Unless people riot

Or all die

they are doing that anyways

For example, black unemployment in the recession year 1949 of lower than in the most prosperous years of the 60s and 70s.

Minimum wage is a forcible distortion and a misstatement of the value of labor in a market.

of course, social programs alleviated the need to work

If you want to hand someone money, you can do so, but a market distortion is simply that: a distortion.

And your not wrong undead

the 60-70s added a lot of incentives to not work, where the 40s had you need to work to eat

I can agree that your right

My problem with minimum wage is that, genereally speaking, if you set a bar, people will rise exactly to the level of that bar

But just becuase your right about that does not mean we should lose the minimum wage

If you go to get a brand new job right now, changes are they will offer you exactly minimum wage

large spikes in social program spending also coincides with large spikes in unemployment

The minimum wage has inflated our dollar to a point where without it, we would be screwed

We would all starve

I think that is hyperbolic

Actually he has a point

Also, if a low pay means that someone is exploiting someone else, wouldn't that mean that everybody could be the "exploiter"?

And if everybody is "the exploiter" who is exploiting whom?

There is no exploitation. The wages simply reflect the relative value of the job in the given market.

Society will crumble at its knees

The whole talk of "exploitation" is infantile nonsense.

Mass rioting, murder

low negoiated pay is the workers fault, low average sector pay is social engineering

Theft

Huh?
