Skilled workers earning 33% more than unskilled workers is incentive enough to learn skills. Why do you think they need to be higher than that? The whole point of increasing minimum wage so much is to push down high skill wages relative low skill wages, so that low skill humans don't have to live such a destitute life. That is what Democrats are pushing for, so why do you see the intended result as a bad thing?
- trimethylpurine 4y agoAt $20/hr minus costs invested for education, this pharmacy tech earns less in total until they are around 45 or 50 years old. They would have been better off taking a job frying potatoes. You might suggest that this would cause a shortage of techs, thereby increasing the wages, but it doesn't, because the people investing in the cost of that required education aren't educated about what they are signing up for. So essentially, what's happened here is that a large corporation has prayed upon the naivety of a younger tech who was sold a worthless education and is now stuck in a low wage job with no way to declare bankrupty against those education costs. What Democrats are pushing for is corporate control of government, same as Republicans. We should absolutely be bothered by this.
