ParticipantWhy does government actually need to be involved, at all? The free market will sort itself out.

ParticipantLOL don’t forget it was the supermajority ca dem congress that rejected a CA gov healthcare insurance plan 3 times!!
We are what the 6th largest economy I think, surely we could have come up with something.

ParticipantFine. Don’t set a min wage, but socialize benefits … everyone should have access to healthcare, UBI, etc. Finance it at the back end by taxing corporate profits. No minimum wage, but companies won’t be able to attract competent staff by paying $1 per hour.

ParticipantIf theres no maximum wage, there must be no minimum wage. A penny a week. A SACK OF RICE PER MONTH and a patch of ground to lay on. Perhaps that not far enough. Negative pay. Pay me to work for me. For resume experience.
In fact, maybe theres a business idea you pay me $100 a month, i “employ” you, serve as your reference in a job hunt, put you on my firm website.

Sadly i suspect they would. Id subsidize my kids first job for 1.00 an hour for the roght opportunity.

ParticipantThen it’s an unpaid internship, since gas and parking will likely cost more than $8 per day.

Maybe ubi at $7 an hour is better than min wage at 15. Spreads the burden more widely.

Labor is bad at self representation because its so desperate. For starters, its hungry and has a backache.

ParticipantIn San Diego I’m not sure you can attract competent staff for $15/hour!
