Like if a company cant afford to pay living wage to all its employees, whats the solution?


fire a bunch of employees.


Wait did we just trick someone on the left to admitting that the minimum wage creates unemployment?

If you stop reducing billions of people into 1 basic concept (still such a really really weird thing to do) then this is not surprising

This topic made me realize that the industry I work in (ad tech) provides an interesting parallel for minimum wage stuff (among other things).

The way companies buy ad space is through an open auction, and there's an option to set minimums on bids that will actually be allowed. You'd think that the best approach would be to leave these minimums out since you maximize the amount of bids received, but in practice this creates a race to the bottom and lower overall money flowing through.

And the minimums also provide an important signal to the buyer algorithms, which will adjust so that they can win more often (so long as the minimum isn't too high).

Although the most effective way of implementing these minimums is dynamically rather than static values so \_()_/

That's the case with anything in any economy, but the state is static by definition, static policies are the only tool it has. That's one simple way to reach the conclusion that 100% of state interference in economy is inefficient.

So crypto....

I am 100% an idiot and also i have almost no money. Whats a good place for a semi-long term investment of a small amount (maybe 200-1000)


Things I like:

Ethereum, ZRX, Theta (although their PR team/decisions since going public have been messy). Whenever Wanchain goes public buy the fuck out of it.

that's not why he's a moron, no. he's just a moron period.

but what are you basing your "nobody cares" claim on? you know wojcicki (he can't even spell her name right lol) is an extremely unpopular CEO and tons of people in the youtube community want her fired, right? i could see there being plenty of caring, if nothing else because it adds fuel to the "she's terrible" fire.

It's almost like the thing people think he's a colossal idiot for isn't "speaking the truth"

You realize that it's YOUR invented narrative that he is persecuted for speaking the truth, right? When that invented narrative is shown to be a hypocritical falsehood, it reflects poorly on you. How is it possible that you find validation in this?
