Who should regulate this? Is it different in every city or state or the whole country? Also, what is the living wage? What should you reasonably be able to afford with this living wage? Do taxes factor into the wage? Do you really think High schoolers, who get their first job flipping burgers for extra money, has to be paid enough to be able to afford a house and car and bills and savings?

Living wage is about $21 an hour. Like yeah, high schoolers should probably not be making a living wage but blame that on our capitalist society. More then just high schoolers are doing these jobs, that's the reality, should grown adults be doing them? No, probably not, but they are.

Ok. Where does the $21 come from? Is that the national average? Should it be $21 everywhere or just in the highest of priced cities? Also, what does a monthly budget look like at $21 to make that the golden number?

That's the national average. Like I dunno, I think it should be that wage everywhere. Think about all of the stuff you have to pay for, you need a car, health and dental insurance, in some cases mental healthcare too and that is expensive. Food, gas, car insurance, utilities, phone, internet, these things are not cheap but all are required too. If you are in college this could be enough to pay your tuition, so I would think that would be a huge plus? Capitalism is a disaster.

Actually, it's both and I don't know where you get the idea that it isn't. The cheapest cuts of beef are always more expensive than cheap chicken and pork, and easily become the most expensive and "fancy" once you start going past london broil and bottom round roasts

Wtf. You do like most other developed countries and use those fancy macroeconomic measures like the CPI to figure out on a regional basis how much it costs to eke out a reasonable, human existence within an arbitrary margin. Then you pass a law forcing companies to pay at least that much. We call it "minimum wage". You can tax this just like you would any other income, which should be "not much or at all" since you can't get much blood from a stone.

As for the high schooler question, I don't give a gently caress how much a high schooler makes doing a job I don't want and you probably shouldn't either. Maybe sacrificing some time for disposable income at a young age is worth rewarding somehow.

This was also cool as gently caress and we should really just do it.

I have a hard time feeling sympathetic, given the fact that it took me years to nail down a full time job after college. If she thinks working a full time job for minimum wage sucks, she should try the idea of having to work three part time jobs strung together to pay the bills, without the benefit of health insurance (paid my own, decade before Obamacare) . And all three of those jobs required a bachelor's degree. It sucked, but it was a living.

My current job is awesome but has nothing to do with my major or even requires a degree. But I wouldn't have gotten it if I was so proud and full of myself to think I arbitrarily deserved a position.

So her scheme is some kind of long con? Didn't like her jobs career track so she blows up her twitter about how lovely it is, brags about delivering whiskey to work, etc meanwhile sets up donation options for her followers and crawls for job offers.

Then I guess she collects unemployment/severance while milking Millennial sympathy?

Indeed, suffering is good and we should uphold it as meritorious and indicative of your value to society as a whole. All shall be forced through the mesh until only the deserved are able to comfortably provide for themselves, and staunchly defend this cycle.

It isn't. And never will be. There is no justice in the world. There is nothing that is "true" or "right" or "sacred." Everything is bendable and pliable and anyone posting here is just as likely to get ground into paste under the wheels of society as they are to live out their banal lives with absolutely no impact on anything around them but for the dozen or so people that will mourn them when they're gone for upwards of several days before they have to go back to their lives. Nothing matters. No one matters. You're alone, and the only beings that will truly miss you for as long as they exist is your gut fauna. Welcome to the real world. You're worthless.
