  • What issues with minimum wage, other than the capitalists who are desperate to keep their costs down from crying wolf about inflation?

    I’m still waiting for anyone to show data that raising the minimum wages leads to higher inflation. Should be pretty easy to show looking at the minimum wages across countries over the last 25-50 years, while also looking at the inflation rates over that same period.

    As far as governments not raising the minimums, that is the result of poor policy when they were implemented, to not tie the minimum wage to inflation in the first place. People are more aware of that issue now, so hopefully that mistake wouldn’t be implemented.

    I don’t really expect UBI to be implemented on a larger scale because the people who buy the laws won’t allow it.

    Having the mass majority of the population trapped in jobs that pay just enough that they put up with it, while giving away all their time and energy to a corporation is exactly why the average person has no power. They’ve had the will drive to force real change sucked out of them.

    UBI is a mechanism that can help them take back their time and energy to affect real change.


  • I’ve said if he was raped, he should report it. Stop putting words in my mouth lol I think you should stop putting words in your own mouth. Either you’re intentionally trolling or a blatant misandrist.

    He was drunk, therefore she didn’t get consent. So she did rape him. Period.

    However, you and I both know if he tried to report it, it is a near certainty that it would go nowhere, and he’d be mocked and ridiculed for it not just enjoying how lucky he was to have had the attentions of a woman on him.

    It’s a disgusting double standard and you’ve shown that you’re part of the problem.
