Why? If they don't employ other drivers and every driver is a member, everything should be fine.

What is needed to make the majority of reddit users switch so that they bring all subreddits with them?

It's just chaotic evil.

Leaving the bag open should be chaotic neutral. It's a sign of somebody shifting focus with neither good nor bad intentions.

Of course, if there is only support if you don't have a job then minimum wage makes sense.

But that support comes from taxes. I would prefer a society where everybody works so that taxes are low. Of course there must still be something that gives people the freedom to say no.

Having neither, it's the same as the saying about liberty and security. If you don't seek employment for all then you won't get minimum wage.

Let the people decide what a livable wage is. A bad job is better than no job. They can still refuse to work.

Of course, without new ideas, things don't change. Not the workers but the companies need a reason for full employment.

You can play if you want. Ask around for others who want to play and start a cooperative.

Because I am not convinced by their arguments. It makes sense if you accept a minimum of unemployed people. But why should society settle for that? Employ everybody and find another way to prevent wages from rising too high.

This sounds reasonable. Too bad that the post lost focus. I would love to know what others think about this.

There is the published figure and there is the actual number of unemployed people.

You rightfully point out that the figure is manipulated. I am talking about the actually unemployed people.

Policy and calculations don't matter if there is low unemployment. It's minimum wage that's gamed. Why fight that lost battle?

How do companies corner the job market?

Doesn't minimum wage support the cornering because new competitors cannot start with lower wages?

The focus should be on "Id pay you less but then you would quit”. Everything else is a weak position.

If there is no competition among stores, workers compete among each other. Though nobody complains because it's the weakest humans who won't find a minimum wage job. When there is a choice for the manager, they will pick the better worker.

Is it still a good deal for minimum wage workers? What should workers do with abusive managers? With minimum wage, there is no option to be willing to work for less but with better conditions.
