- toomuchtodo 5y agoI get a sense you haven't experienced enough suffering for the conclusion you're arriving at. It is easy to project onto others that "they should be able to choose to work for a pittance if they want", when they don't want but have no other options. I'd argue, in a developed country with aspirations of being a civil society, you set a solid floor for those with the least power instead of making excuses that "this is their choice." But, as you mention, we all vote and see how it goes.
