That's two self contradictions and a reference to a 'working class'.
No, no one gets to decide what others elect to do with their time. Especially here, where many people work for zero monetary compensation on open source projects.
What next, ban open source projects? It's work and there are no benefits. Blasphemy?
- AmericanChopper 7y agoIs ‘working class’ an offensive term now? And where were my self contradictions? Contributing to an open source project isn’t necessarily an employment arrangement, neither is volunteering, or being an unpaid intern. This comment of yours doesn’t contribute much to the discussion.
- lstodd 7y agoYes, "working class" is offensive. Like just about any other classification criteria is. Are you not woke enough to see this? Your two self-contradictions are 1. "you can make an reasonable argument that prohibiting such arrangements would not cause much harm" vs "Anytime you implement a minimum wage that’s higher than the market value of somebody’s labor, you’re restricting their ability to find employment" 2. "People won’t enter into an employment arrangement that doesn’t benefit them" vs "I don’t think a minimum wage in general is entirely unreasonable"
