I'd agree with you if we had sound money and didn't have minimum wage laws.
We don't need to pay $15 for some kid to sweep and take out trash or do dishes. Low skilled labor deservers low skill pay. Jobs that teach people to be responsible and acquire skills and experience to move on / up.
Don't paint with such a wide brush friend. Fix the system first.
Few illegals are earning below the minimum wage these days. As far as wages, you deserve whatever wage you can get in a free market, but by and large, we don't really have a free market. Do you think that the globalists don't control the wages?
I lived in the Philippines for 3 years 2017-2020 and low skill or high skill wages suck. Minimum wages range from 7 to 11 dollars a DAY, and most jobs don't have a wide range in pay. Many people earn below minimum wage.
Note: pre-covid they were putting in self-ordering in fast food. They typically have a huge amount of workers, and maybe 1/8th are the cashiers. So there's more going on than saving 21 bucks a shift for 3 cashiers...
Selling your labor is your micro-business, and it is rarely a level playing field.
No, that's not mu position. I'm saying they or the government should have ZERO say in wages AND we should have sound money that they can't print without it being backed. Or better yet remove government / Fed from the creation of currency altogether. Blockchain tech has made that possible.
The broken system is the underlying problem, the wages & cost of living (inflation from unbacked currency) are a symptom and exactly how they want it. Remove their control of those 2 areas and the symptoms go away.
