You said, “The market is even more fair, will determine fair wages,”
Huh??? Are you delusional??? That is more of that Theory Land stuff. I mean geeesh, the whole reason we are having this discussion is because the “market” flopped and big time. People can not live on minimum wages any more, even than they can afford to go to college. So no, “the market” did not take care of things. That is why the H1B Employers are bringing in cheaper techs from overseas, for example. And why food stamps are a thing for the working poor.
The market flopped because the government interfered with it doing what idiots like you think it should, “making it fair”. You will never learn. There is no point in debating with you.
When has the market actually had a chance to work? We do not have much of a free market. I am just trying to defend what’s left. You want to take us further down the rabbit hole that got us into trouble. I have a secredt for you...Government is not smarter than the market, and neither are lawyers.
Once the government got involved, it ceased to be a “Free Market”.
