Any employer who pays less than the cost of living is effectively transitioning that cost to the state and should pay the difference to the state (or, easier, to the worker). Otherwise we're effectively subsidizing these companies and food delivery isn't something the state should subsidize.
- throwaway09223 4y agoThis style of argument is nonsense. As to earnings, if I have a company and I earn $20k/yr on the side for myself I am not "transitioning that cost to the state" and I should not be prevented by law from operating my business. The same is true if I employ someone to do the work rather than doing it myself. As to determining the cost of living: How would you propose this even be done? The cost of a student living at home is very different from a single person, and in turn is very different from a family with arbitrarily large numbers of dependents. There is no such thing as a universal cost of living. Prohibiting part-time work only hurts people who could otherwise benefit from it -- like students who do not have availability to work full time hours.
