@hansw I find that there are very very few people (pretty much just people with mental conditions who cant function in any capacity like even feeding themselves) who are incapable of training for marketable skills.
Intellectual persuits are just one time of highly-skilled labour. There are physical skills as well. Take for example a hibachi chef (one of the best paid chefs).. they have little to no need to have any intellectual skills, but they do train physically to be able to do all sorts of stunts and feats with food as they cook, they are a mix between a juggler and a skilled chef. Thats just one example
You also have artisans who do intricate wood inlays, again not an intellectual skill but highly-skilled and well paid as well
There is an endless list of high-skilled labour that doesnt require cleverness.
@hansw Thats the danger of anecdotal evidence, mixed with a natural case of confirmation bias. You often see things that differ from the overall reality.
I have no doubt you have seen examples of people who were making less money, minimum wage was raised, and they made more, but youa re far less likely to hear or associate the people who lost their jobs when minimum wage increased with the actual minimum wage having increased, and you likely found another reason to justify that loss of work, or perhaps due to confirmation bias didnt not it as significant at all.
We try hard to look at objective data in science and go where the data sends us, but that doesnt mean it has to be blindly followed. If you feel strongly the data is incorrect here, as a scientist or even just a citizen you'd be welcome to explain why and then adjust the model to incorperate and prove out your explanation. But anecdotal evidence is not going to be very convincing up against objective data that doesnt have an opinion of its own.
Why can't we just for once have a democrat president (or republican for that matter) that has a clue.
Stop worrying about fictional categories of guns (assault weapons) and worry about mental health or anonymous gun licenses.
Stop worrying about minimum wage (which just makes the poor poorer) and worry about giving free vocational or university education to those in need.
Quit obstructing pipelines (the result of which is an extreme increase in pollution) and focus on taxing gasoline and using that money to build charging infrastructure
Quit trying to raise the taxes on the upper-middle class and beyond and focus on cutting military spending in half.
Stop doing what makes you look good and focus on what the science says WORKS!
@LukeAlmighty @Synclair Obviously that was Trump's fault. Biden will save us! Today he saw his shadow and didn't run away so that means he knows where he is! That's a good sign.
What did people expect from a company like this? 😆🤡
