“Livable Point” for the worker? Who determines this? So, an arbitrary value is assigned to the job instead of the value it creates for the business? So flipping Burgers now must have a living wage? Even though this type of job was never intended to be used as a living wage kind of position? So, he actually cannot negotiate nor allow the position to assign value based on it’s productivity can he? Who, instead of the market, shall make these determinations? Democrat politicians?
How about we make employers responsible by not allowing them to import low-skill workers into the economy, thereby depressing wages. Then they will have to pay what the market will bear, instead of having a job assigned a made up value by a Social Justice Warrior.
Arbitrary value??? Where are you getting that from. There ain’t a person here on this forum who doesn’t have a pretty good idea how much they would have to make each month to pay a basic home/apt rent, a basic car note, a basic grocery bill, etc. Not one of us.
So, no it ain’t arbitrary. Of course there will be wage differentials, because it requires less skills to flip burgers than do brain surgery. But should the burger flipper have to get food stamps to survive?
Sadly, there are a lot of Sekrit Socialists among the business class, who like to privatize their profits, and socialize their costs out to the general public. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.
