And if there are enough jobs, then it does something, and does it well. It forces companies to spend a bit more on their employees and in some ways, redistributes wealth.
Your solution isn’t better. The government cannot be everywhere the way that Walmart is.
I really don’t think its impact is going to be that big. Low skilled labor will still find ways to get hired for less, off the books if the need is great enough...it happens all the time.
- 8note 6y agoThe government is already in more places than Walmart is though? The government already offers jobs like that too, just that it's through the prison system and the floor is much too low
- heyoni 6y agoLook, as much as I hate Walmart, they exist in places at levels that the federal/state does not. Either way, that's not the only thing my argument stands on. I'm as liberal as they come, and would never suggest expanding the government just to fit that capacity.
