did you know that the famous line 'it's morbin time' was cut out of the chinese release of the movie because authorities were afraid that people would be reminded of the Morbin Massacre of 1982 were communist tanks killed literally everybody

Also what are you talking about? You already are paid for your work in most jobs, since you can't just sit there and do nothing. Companies also often have performance bonuses. You are just saying you don't want to honor a contract which is just lazy/scummy.
In jobs where you are paid by your time it's because there isn't another way. How do you pay a nightguard for their work? $50 for every trespasser they catch?

@Spaghettimon
That's just fucking retarded. Would you define a farmer tending his farm so he can eat a duty?
People wanting to work whenever however contradicts with always having enough to survive, thus somebody would have to fill in those gaps which would mean it actually becomes their duty and because they don't have the means reward that duty, boom, you have slavery.

@Chizu
That's why you can't have a minimum. Inappropriate minimum wage would destroy a lot of businesses.

The seller wants to sell at the highest price, the buyer wants to buy at the lowest price. The buyer not buying my overpriced product is oppression!

@Chizu
No. Minimum wage needs to reflect the local economy, so the most the federal government should do is "If you don't set federal wage, you'll follow ours". It would be like trying to argue that Germany and Slovakia should have the same minimum wage,
From what I know it isn't unreasonable to ask for $30 to cover living expenses, but it is in Texas or Florida.

@Chizu @Spaghettimon I guess :peepoShrug: I forgot the specifics about US minimum wage. It can't be federal though since the US so big and diverse.

@Chizu @Spaghettimon I agree with you here. It should either go up with inflation or not exist at all.

@Chizu @Spaghettimon Ah yes, every year the men with top hats and monocles get together in a smoke filled room and discuss at what price to fix labor at.

Are you making an argument against minimum wage?

@Spaghettimon @Chizu
So they should just hold someone else hostage to produce food so you don't go hungry?

If they treat their employees nicely the employees will be more productive and less people will want to work for the competitor.
