Someone living in Vancouver vs someone living in Milo Alberta could also use different mins. But its a min and no that’s not high, americans are just too used to exploiting people.
I don’t really know what it costs to live in Iowa. But if 15 to 20 is what is needed there, then it’s way too low for nyc. And since the population is concentrated in cities, that means it’s not helping most of the people who need it. There must be a better way.
Yeah, market forces. The min is just that, a min. If someone can not live in a city with a wage under X then if places don’t offer at least X they should fail, but they don’t since we prop up the current system.
Yeah, “they” like to claim market forces as well as supply and demand will balance things. But in so many cases, the person making the monetary decisions isn’t the person impacted by them.
Like big box stores… if a location can’t hire enough people at the rate the central office wants, they tell the location to make due. They aren’t personally impacted by the shortage, all they see is numbers.
Software. The decision maker on what to buy is almost never the user of the software. So the software is designed to look good to the decision maker, not to work well for the user.
Market forces just doesn’t work at this scale.
