Instead of having ANY minimum wage at all, allow multiple unions to operate in the same shop.



Considered far-right by the far-left should be a badge of honor.

Ineffective or outright impracticable in many service jobs.

and how is my boss going to afford his second boat and beach house then? that's what I thought

Lal, this article is amazing if you remove low-income/minimum wage workers, with slaves..

Tnx for the laugh Cam.. mises is shit though

Works pretty well in the Nordic countries. Isn't that the argument liberals make all the time? Let's emulate the Nordic countries?

These countries have a different economic and socio-demographic structure. On top of that, and perhaps even more importantly, the Nordic countries have very strong and generous social safety nets which are indirectly equipping their workers with bargaining power. Because people in these countries are not 2 months without a wage removed from sleeping under a bridge, they can afford to not take each and every shit from employers. Even workers on the low end of the job market are in a much stronger negotiating position in these countries compared to their American counterparts. Against this backdrop, even wages for low skill jobs will not collapse in the absence of government regulation via minimum wages or similar measures.

Thats like the phrase “christian extremist” that the media throws around.

So what if I’m a CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST?

I was going to say no but the australian minimum wage has convinced me higher wages are possible without messing things up 🤔


On the flip side i dont see why we cant eliminate the minimum wage if we provide robust safety nets. More projects for the poor people.

Decisions made in management are made to improve the company's bottom line generating more value for the owners.

Arbitrarily raising costs via a minimum wage hike increases costs without increasing the value generated by the labour of the cashier and the business needs to find ways to offset the increase in costs so you're looking at layoffs or price hikes.

I don't think million dollar salaries have zero effect on consumer price
