The article makes things sound very dire, but worse, doesn't really offer any solutions to the issue.
I've seen some throwing around the idea of raising the minimum wage, but I'm skeptical this would solve the problem as well. I'll admit that I don't know a thing about economics, but it just seems a bit unfair for those that worked their way up to whatever the minimum wage would be raised to.
On the other hand, I do think that everyone deserves a chance to have a better life. Sadly though, what people deserve doesn't seem to really align with the supply/demand side of things. After all, I certainly don't feel like I deserve to get paid way more than most just because I happen to be a developer: I am just lucky I like something which pays well.
Perhaps the free community college would help with this issue?
- pavlov 11y agoWell, it's an article written by a German newspaper correspondent for a German audience... So it's understandable that the author doesn't try to offer solutions.
- bruceb 11y agoFree community college might be good but for some it is too late for many. If you have not graduated high school, have 2 felonies already then you probably will not be taking advantage of free community college. Focus on middles schools and reducing single parent households and having kids at a young age.
