Why is it the case that one is entitled to pay someone less than a living wage to do work needed in a city?
I've recently observed a society full of ridiculously unimaginable wealth, with zero homeless people.
How is this possible? This wealthy society decided that any person who lives in it should be able to exist with a minimum standard of living which includes housing, no matter their situation. I believe this actually makes society more wealthy due to network effects.
Why can't the US do the same? I bet it would cost a lot less than the mess we have now.
Before anyone asks, I'm talking about Switzerland. Not without its faults, but in this area it's quite refreshing.
