minus-square@foggylink-16•1 year agoI’m all for it, but this creates an issue for skilled labor making roughly the same wage. Basically everyone needs like 100% more money.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish34•1 year agoDoesn’t create an issue, creates an opportunity “Pay me more or I’ll go get a job at a fast food place” is a simple and easy argument for raises at any reasonable place
minus-square@Mudfacelink5•1 year agoOr just work a part time gig at McDonald’s for a couple 5 hour shifts a week to supplement your career job. Makes it pretty appealing to think about flipping some burgers for $20 an hour, $100 a day 2-3 days a week. Could be an extra $1,000 a month or so for people looking for something to supplement their income.
minus-square@monklinkEnglish26•1 year agoIt disincentives gaining skills that can only earn less than 40k a year.
minus-square@acceptable_pumpkinlink17•edit-21 year agoYou’re looking at this backwards. It essentially would make a business compete with every other minimum wage job if all they’re offering is $20/h. They either raise wages to lure skilled workers, or try to provide some other benefits.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•1 year agoI don’t think it’s unskilled labor at all. If anything, your so-called skilled labor is underpaying you then. We shouldn’t hold others down.

It disincentivizes gaining a skill, which is bad for society.
