So by your logic we should consider lowering the minimum wage in order to ensure employment. Employment is not a means in itself, the point of being employed is to "make a living". If a job cannot sustain a person then it should not exist. People deserve to live with dignity, earning a living wage. | ||||||||||||||

>People deserve to live with dignity, earning a living wage. Look, I get where that is coming from. But no one deserves anything, even clean air. Instead, you pay for things with other things (e.g. clean air in exhchange for slightly more expensive cars). A (shitty) job is better than no job. Minimum wage should be lowered. You gotta help people with something else. For instance by allowing to build higher density housing. | ||||||||||||||
