@thenarr47271717@supergeekmike And someone else got the job at the low wage because the employer decided it. Just because you personally turned it down doesn't mean anything
Millions of low wage workers imported into the country affects wages bc the employer realizes people are 'desperate' and set lower wages
@thenarr47271717@supergeekmike "Employers don't decide wages"
Of course they do. Obviously there can be negotiations, but ultimately the employer decides. You know that, unless you're just arguing in bad faith
I'll ask again: how do we make sure wages keep up with inflation and cost of living?
@thenarr47271717@supergeekmike The value to the employer is not dictated by its wage. The employer would surely accept free labor for the same value as paying a high wage.
So if the employer decides the value and wage, how do we make sure wages keep up with inflation and cost of living?
@thenarr47271717@supergeekmike So if people are desperate (the reason *why they're desperate is a separate topic) the value of that job is high so the company can lower the wage?
@Mr_Hydrate@Dylanszn01 School is where children gather to learn, and hunger directly affects their ability to do so. Providing universal school meals isn't replacing parents' responsibilities; it's removing a barrier to education and ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to succeed
