Paying adults more forces companies to focus on value, and to work that contributes to the economy. By travelling around, I was surprised by the non-sense and the lack of efficiency of the economy in some countries. In some places that are 'developing', citizens were working as hard of harder than in wealthy places. But most of them were in non-productive jobs, like security agents to just guard a few houses, tricycle driver (when ppl could just walk), train platform monitor (in the Philippines, I was annoyed because there was someone at every platform, like a lifeguard in a swimming pool, but to make sure you weren't stepping to close to the edge),... Often, workers are even trapped in cheap labour ! Western companies outsource in some places just because it's cheaper, and hire nothing but unqualified workers as long as they accept low wages. These branches would never hire qualified workers or uni graduates, because they're just there for the low wages. So we need to increase the salaries, and make sure children have access to education and better jobs. Also, "it just ensures the ones that can't afford to do that go bankrupt" is just basic capitalism and market economy. They been pushing that on us for decades. According to the media, it was the only alternative, and the key to a better world. Why would that be different, when the market conditions impose a better wage ? Why are the republicans suddenly moving the goalposts ? Do they mean they were wrong ?
