less funding for you = more subsidies for Felon Musk.

Don’t forget ISRO.

Yes, you are right it is tough being easily replaceable by… robots . It is getting cheaper to just use self-order and self-checkout, self-service pump, vending machines these days.

Maybe the government should provide retraining for citizens to work in more skilled jobs.

Is that why US companies pay so low (in comparison to their Cost of Living) because there is min wage to follow rather than free market. While other countries (with no min wage) salaries are “higher” in comparison to their Cost of Living, food, clothes and etc.

Yup, UBI should be at an amount that prevents people from dying or robbing others, but they would still want to work to improve their lives.

Unlikely, no entity/business/people will ask for $0.02 hourly for their service. In a capitalist society, business/people/entity will ask for correct hourly price/fees/salary/income for their services that is profitable.

illegal workers are breaking the law, so they have no choice, no bargaining power. They can ask for higher hourly price for work done, too, or just don’t be illegal or find another job in their home country.

Maybe don’t compare to prison/illegals/rapist/pedos since there are many countries with no min wage, like successful Singapore.

I started working from min wage up. I don’t work illegally in other countries, and I find another job if pay is too low to make ends meet. The moment I start any job, I also start looking and preparing for my next job. I am never loyal to my employer because they will never be loyal to me.

no. yes. no. no yes, yes and no. The trick is to ask the right questions, you will get there eventually, don’t be scared.

We should keep pushing for higher min wages until it is cheaper to use automation, self checkout and etc. It is sad to see workers struggling at restaurants, preparing burgers and cleaning tables. no one should be doing such menial work.

Other than tech, low min wage is one of the things holding us back from full automation. High min wage will accelerate automation hopefully.

But… most people, even you won’t cut your own income/salary/increments to increase the salary of low-income workers. If not, they would have done so voluntarily.

Did you ever reject your pay raise and ask the boss to give a raise to the low income staff below you instead.

Business income is not magic, and earnings are divided based on salary structure. The income is divided between all staff, i.e., you get your high salary at the expense of low incomes.

The other way to get more money to raise min salary is to raise prices of product/services. But… why let poor customers suffer?

Where do you think the salary money will come from. Why signal so much concern, but when it hits your high salary, it is no go. Many are unwilling to take a tiny salary cut to help low income.

Some think money will 1000% go to C-suite/investor salary/income if everyone take a miniscule pay cut, even after a company guarantee a pay raise for low income in contract. Hardly anyone want their filthy obscene high salaries to be touched so they will come up with all sort of reasons, NIMBY, they want the money for low-income salary to appear by magic.

I’m fine with min wage so long as it is handled by hard research and science and not politicians or lobbyists. Although even scientists can be corrupted but at least it is backed by verifiable facts.

that is cool, maaan. you tha man ! oh maaaan did you see those protests in US ?

what happened to man… as in hey man.

Why is not the right question it leads to ambiguous answers.

instead of why… find out how, when, and what.

Figure 53.

mitochondria is called a parasite for a reason…

Unlikely, Teslas are known to catch fire on their own.
