Then it's going to be an impasse, because offering human labor for a price that is less than the generally agreed upon lowest amount a person can live on defeats the entire point of establishing a living wage. Unskilled labor, especially individual laborers, have zero practical leverage. In the absence of government controls wages get driven to zero or unions form to claw back that leverage. So by all means abolish the minimum wage and living wage, I would love to see unions pick up even more steam.
