Right. The CEO won't take a paycut to employ a minimum wage worker... The people who lose are the ones who could and should work for less, because equilibrium wage for what they do is below minimum wage. And now this unemployed unskilled worker has to live in a higher cost of living environment.

No one is really for "slave" labor, but pay a worker what the job is worth.

You do realize you are more than likely debating with said unskilled worker right? You are not going to convince a "victim" he doesn't deserve more.

Once you get to know people that play on p99 and emu's in general 90% of them end up being total scum irl and play them because they are poor.

Reading the forums you would swear everyone here is a young doctor dating a super model.

And I bet you're a multi-millionaire, right?

Got a $50k job you feel lucky to have? "Th-thanks for keeping me on, b-boss, s-sure I will work more hours without a raise, i-it's tough out there..."

Here's a fun exercise for you. Walk into work and say the word "Union" and see how fast they throw your ass out the door and bring in some other asshole who thinks employers are doing him a favor by "providing a job".

Spineless middle class fucks like you are an even bigger threat to the American way of life than unskilled fuckups and their woes.

And it may be worth noting for the purposes of ad hominem, my family has money. Everything was handed to me and I never had to work a day in my life for it, but I did anyway. I was given more capital than you'll likely earn in your lifetime. Isn't that fair? Isn't capitalism great?

So when you say to pay people what their labor is worth, I think that should go both ways, for the top and the bottom. Right now it only seems to apply to deadbeats...

Another p99 young millionaire! Thank you for making my point.
