Why do you believe the government is willing to push the price to infinity? How would that benefit them?
- missedthecue 5y agoIn some states, the government has been paying people over $4000 per month to work for zero hours. That is paying people an infinite amount for time, because there is zero time being offered in exchange. If I was making that amount and not working, and you said here's $5000 a month for a full time job, I wouldn't take your offer because giving up 40 hours of my life per week is not worth the extra $1000. How exactly can this be handwaved? It's extremely difficult to compete with that. One market participatant is pushing the price of time to infinity.

- missedthecue 5y agoThe maximum benefit in Massachusetts last I checked was $1800 weekly. That was with PUA. Even Alabama was at $875 a week.
