Why must we constantly insist that every job in America must pay a wage that allows someone to support themselves living alone or even better a family. There’s plenty of zero skill labor in America that wants to work part time for discretionary income and experience. There’s plenty of businesses that want to hire those people. Those businesses don’t seem to be experiencing any shortages of labor because there’s plenty of people in households that do not need to be the sole breadwinner.
Why do we constantly insist on trying to tell everybody else what to do. Lets force businesses to pay more for employees and when they cut/replace employees then we can argue about how it’s a good idea to force businesses to hire employees. You’re never going to win this game via forced government policy because every step you take makes it harder for an employer to employee people. You worry that McDonald’s might make too much money but you have no consideration for how much harder you just made it for Joe the Pizza guy to start his 2nd restaurant.
