It may raise wages if there was limited pool of workers. But given today's world with massive migration and few import taxes, that may mitigate most of the hit. Other change would be a drop in consumption. Similar to WFH, staying-at-ho

Yes. Somehow same stuff becomes a proper work if we hired a nanny. I guess „work“ depends on generating GDP for many people. Sort of like me cooking dinner is not work, yet cook at a restaurant is working.

I guess all sides get what „traditional“ refers to. Just like „non-traditional“. While I'd say nowadays such punk wifes technically are non-traditional...

So far it's vice versa. My wife is staying at home with our 3 y/o. It's unbelievable how many people try to push her back into workforce. Especially other women. It feels like women no longer has the right to choose.

36.9 with a sad face would do.. I mean mercury is past 9 mark so it's pretty much 37, right?

Even for getting people fed, we’re moving the goalposts. A while ago it was to just get enough calories. Now „feeding“ gets more and more complex.

In anti-dumping, it’s protecting not the people. It’s protecting local market. Goods at dumped prices will disrupt local markets and bankrupt local competitors. Then dumpers can raise prices way beyond initial prices to win jackpot. That wh

Your argument is like saying that jailing fraudsters is anti-freedom-of-speech.

Economically it’s more like if Chinese companies are helped by the government, why can’t West do the same? Same as anti-dumping import taxes.

There’s no convenient or not definition. But we have to agree on one before we start discussing if we can fix it. If we define poverty as defining bellow median, we won’t ever get rid of it. Mental health as in mental health issues making p

No A/C = poor is a damn weird definition. Does it mean everybody was poor 100 years ago?

by mantas 4y ago
Depends on your definition of poor. If bottom 20% is poor as per some definitions, then you’ll always have poor. If it’s enough calories and roof other your head… Then we have very few true poor. Especially if we don’t include those who are

Breaking into cars is closer to violent-y crime than financial crimes. Street crime may be a better phrase.

I was thinking about a hairdresser having a salon with a single chair for himself. Full-on co-op wouldn't work if 1 hair dresser is super popular and 2 others are not so popular. It's a very personal business and a big part of it

Extra chairs need extra space. More space = more heating, probably more insurance too. Extra hairdressers will consume extra electricity too.

Hairdresser owning his own salon is pretty close to coop.

Salon owners probably charge obscene prices for a spot. That makes opening your own salon much more lucrative. And customers are probably not willing to pay higher prices to attract more workers into this line of work..

Yes. Products and services would get more expensive. Overall reducing consumption in volume. Which may be negative for the „growth“ in neoliberal sense. But positive in crapload of other metrics.

by mantas 4y ago
If clients ain't willing to pay enough to pay salary workers are willing to work for... Maybe there's no product-market fit and/or business model just does not work?

by mantas 4y ago
Raise wages till workers show up? Or costs go up so much that market shrinks and there's no need for new workers... Free market!

I’m not sure about you, but for me I don’t get same emotional responses when writing code. Of course, there must be few people who have mental issues and a) won’t get normal hormone response to sex b) already addicted to sex. But I see it s

Dangerous lines of work is dangerous for you. Prostitution pregnancy is dangerous for the outside person. Having both loving and caring parents is quite important during the early years… It also gets important late in life to know family me

Are you sure you wouldn't have changed your mind after a couple days in your job?

by mantas 4y ago
There're quite a few things going on in human body during sex that doesn't happen with most lines of work. Let alone what happens in case of pregnancy.

As if non-capitalist system would get rid of shitty jobs and being forced to work. Point in case - USSR where not working was a crime :)

There's a pretty big difference between prostitution and other shitty jobs from mental health perspective.
