I believe that Universal Job guarantee (via a Federal Program - which doesn’t enforce a minimum wage but gives an alternative and sets a defacto floor on the price of labor - akin to the one done post Depression or WWII) or UBI are better than minimum wage laws, but minimum wage seems to be more politically palatable.
- chii 4y agoA job for a job's sake is worse than just giving the money as part of social security or something. The such a job being done must create value, or it just becomes punishment for being unemployed!
- oliwarner 4y agoMaybe. Even a job that doesn't generate saleable value can give someone experience, teach them technical and social skills that have real-world application.
- chii 4y agoYes, but that's why it's called education and training, not a job. And i am for making education and training possible or subsidized somehow.
