Frankly, from what I’ve been able to gather about his views (which I’ve decided to call “crazy-wing”, because, frankly, they’re batshit in a way that transcends the political spectrum), throwing people who don’t quite fit in his ideal view of the world under the bus seems to be his default way of dealing with any problems his ideas create.

We misanthropes are more in tune with reality anyway.

OLB-" Fuck all the degenerate slackers they deserve to be poor!"
Also OLB- "I'm going to sneak beer into work and possibly fuck a woman there because I like getting away with shit and that's totally the behavior of a good employee. "

You think that somebody taking a hamburger, sticking into a bag and handing it to you is worth a "living wage"?
I applaud your empathy and concern for others but your understanding of economics leaves something to be desired.
Businesses need to make money to be viable. They can't do that if they pay the employees a wage higher than the worth of an employee's work.
If someone is doing work for money then they should at least be able to live off the wages. Otherwise there is no point in working.
If the business model means that they cant afford to pay a living wage then that business should fail. That's market forces for you.

Yes because unlike you she isn't an utter prick

So tell OLB why do so many economists agree with raising the wage. Right, I forget your opinions override all knowledge everywhere. 
Quote:Businesses need to make money to be viable. They can't do that if they pay the employees a wage higher than the worth of an employee's work.
All this is bullshit giving workers a living wage will not make business unviable this has shown beyond a reasonable doubt. So your simply regurgitating bourgeoisie talking points. It's greed, not business viability that drives that thinking, And businesses that think in that manner SHOULD go out of business.

The man who flips the burger is more productive and has made his employer more cash in a single shift than OLB makes a year, if I had to guess.

I think it bears saying that many (if not most) misanthropes love mankind dearly. I think there's a Charles Schultz quote or something about that. (I love mankind, but I can't stand people-- something like that.)
But when you love something dearly, you tend to notice whatever is fucking with its happiness the most. What is fucking with the happiness of humankind the most?
People.
Therefore, misanthropy is justified for anyone who loves humankind.
