minus-squareHikingVet@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down3·2 months agoWhat’s your point? Because it sounds like you are saying people don’t deserve a living wage.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoThat’s not at all what I said. Everyone deserves a living wage and the US min wage is insultingly low.
minus-squareHikingVet@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·2 months agoSo again, what’s your point.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoI was agreeing with the person I was replying to, but reframing it. Automated jobs and outsourced jobs are not caused by increases to minimum wage.
