The alternative to the living wage.

[Ryantology]

I think you would find a lot of lazy fucks that would choose this spartan lifestyle. They would also sell dope on the side and drive a better car than I drive. The whole time my money is being stolen from me to fund this. Fuck that shit. We aren't living in star trek times far from it actually. Your idea is awful.

You would be getting the same guaranteed income all these 'lazy stoners' would get, so you would lose nothing.

These systems would give people options to simply quit a job if they feel they are being screwed in a labor exchange. People wouldn't have to worry about where there next meal would come from if the quit because they would always be guaranteed a minimum income.

These systems empower workers without interfering in the market. Current systems of minimum wage and such help some but hurt others.

I'm talking about the other things employers do to screw people over for their own advantage, such as ruining the environment, damaging the economy, and subverting the democratic process. Making it so that they can be less exploitative of their workers is just one role of regulation.
