You complain about strawmen, then launch a straw giant like that? What I actually believe is that we should do more to help people get on a path to a stable, well paying, fulfilling job. Education can be part of that. A living wage can be part of that. Universal health insurance can be a part of that. Even unions can be part of that (but perhaps not in their current corrupt/co-opted form). But discrimination and exclusion can't. Not for long, and not on a global scale. If you also oppose discrimination and exclusion, why are you trying so hard to pick a fight here?

This was more a rhetorical "obviously this is false" statement than a genuine articulation of your position. > If you also oppose discrimination and exclusion, why are you trying so hard to pick a fight here? You're the one accusing me of... I am not even sure anymore. Of somehow aligning with the current US president over inflating wages which you do like but you don't like but you do think should be done but maybe not because it's not sustainable. I get the impression you have not carefully formulated an articulate form of your beliefs and then tried to convey it to others. I showed this conversation to a few other folks just to see if I've got a blind spot. I didn't discover one, sadly, because they agreed that it seems like you're arguing against yourself at least as much as you're expressing antipathy towards whatever ideas you think I have. The only thing I "discriminate" against (besides my sorting algorithms ;) is the notion of hyper-concentration of capital into individuals.
