I’ve always been all for the minimum wage. Seems like it should be a helpful and/or necessary leveler.
Lately though, sometimes ... I’ll get a disorienting flip around in perspective and I will think just what gives you the right to step between me and another consenting adult when we attempt to make a transaction!
And it feels almost gross that the government would paternalistically step in and tell us what agreement we are allowed to make.
I’m not sure what I think in the end. Somehow both things feel true simultaneously.
- galvin 6y agoThe notion of the government being some abstract external entity is really strange to me. Some consenting adults don't have the power to negotiate fair transactions so we, as a society, can use our collective bargaining power to define what a fair transactions is.
