Don't expect to be able to support yourself.

Why do you want others to struggle and suffer?
Classic faulty conclusion there......

Observing what is, is not a wish for an outcome.

Hahaha what?

You think minimum wage should be so low that you can't live on it. Why do you want others to struggle and suffer?

MOMMY! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!

Um, yeah, you bring a life into the world (assuming you don’t abort it or give it up for adoption), you’re obligated to provide for (at the very least) its basic physiological needs. I’m not much more of a fan of bringing more humans into this world than you are, but that doesn’t mean I’m not aware of how shit like this works.

You just don't understand how money works.



In your reality - they find out how much you make - then price your dinner accordingly.....

If you have no money - you get it free.

If you make a million a year - a hamburger will cost $10,000. 


Sure. - that system will work....

Being redundant does not improve your arguement.

It just makes you boring.


...

I don't think there SHOULD be a minimum wage.
....

Some people ARE totally worthless as an employee.

Wages should reflect worth.

Does it not bother you that you see people as fodder for business? Why do you want humans to serve the market, rather than the other way around? I'm not being redundant, your logic is simply limited by the way you've been conditioned throughout your entire life, so you don't see the potential that exists to actually create a society in which suffering is minimized. One of the ways to do that is to establish a minimum wage that actually allows someone to afford a place to live, for example.

People's lives and well-being matter more than profits. Nobody's worthless. Sorry the neoliberal point-of-view corrupted your mind at a young age.

RE: Raising the minimum wage won't help
So, quick question, if there are some workers so worthless that they don’t deserve compensation, is there any good reason to not kill them? After all, if they don’t deserve to have their basic needs met, why should they deserve to still exist?

Just taking your ideology, as stated in the previous post, to its logical conclusion.

Nothing more boring than a cynical spaz addict like you

Yup and that makes you an idiot 



Quote:Some people ARE totally worthless as an employee.
No one is worthless at least so worthless they should be denied what's needed to live. 


Quote:Wages should reflect worth.
Wages should reflect the fact an employee is a human being

Nope you seem happily preside over a system of needless suffering

Your reductio ad absurdum is just as lame a debate strategy as your buddy's redundancy.

Get a valid response ready and try again.

It's not however nor is Aegon's redundancy.

Nope, they're all valid. You just don't like the conclusion or the reflection in the mirror. So you scream out fallacies thinking you can shout your opponents down and avoid uncomfortable questions.


And all caps. Yup the sure sign of a reasonable person  Hehe
