>I aim for a livable wage (and will not work for less)

Okay so what's the issue? What makes you think being tyrannical would solve this issue?

>Lowering the minimum wage allows further exploitation of workers. Workplaces already have cut out as many employees as they possibly can, if the minimum wage goes up, the pay goes up. If an employee could be eliminated without harming the business, they'd already be gone.

How does it further exploit workers? you don't get to address a basic set of data in one comment, and then completely disregard it in the next. there are only SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND adults that work for minimum wage in this country. If you argument carried any weight, that number would be higher by an order of magnitudes. Employers don't pay employees based on the lowest amount they can get away with, employers pay employees based on how much money they can produce.

>Now I could agree with lowering the minimum wage to 0, but it only works with a robust ubi.

you have zero evidence to support this claim.

>I'd rather be unemployed (and have been) than make less than 20/hr. Less is indentured servitude.

You think its indentured servitude to pay someone $10 an hour if all they're capable of doing is cooking French Fries?

>In 9/10+ low wage jobs, hard work gets you nothing but more responsibility.

That's just simply not true. You don't get a $20 an hour job fresh out of high school because dropping fries in grease is hard work. what an absolutely idiotic thought process.

When you start your first job making shit money, you start learning VERY valuable skills. You learn how to be punctual, respectful, orderly, follow instructions, communicate, work as a team, recognize weaknesses and strengths, manage relationships, etc. After you prove that you're capable of being a responsible adult you get to branch out. You get to take your experience at burger king and parlay it into a job at Publix, where they value customer service and attention to detail. Your pay increases when you go to Publix, but so do the expectations. You have to be clean shaven. You have to be well groomed and presentable. You learn VERY valuable customer service skills, their stores are very nice and orderly so you learn how to clean, stock efficiently, while juggling the needs of customers. You pay attention to detail. Then what? Maybe you parlay the experience of working efficiently and being detail oriented into a job detailing cars? or maybe you start your own detailing business where the detail skills and customer service skills come into play, or maybe you get a job for a company doing inventory? You establish relationships an a reputation, etc etc etc.

But no, fuck all that stuff, fuck the most common path of successful people, lets just hand anyone who has a pulse $20 an hour just for being a big boy and feeding themselves! you people are insufferable, and as ignorant as the day is long. All of your suggestions and policy demands hurt poor people the most, and no matter how much evidence we present, you wont fucking listen.
