best take found on twitter:

The point is that our economy should be built upon jobs that actually provide a meaningful purpose along with a living wage, like trades, crafts or other skilled work, instead of expecting people who are trying to build a life for themselves to be subjected to soul crushing busy work to line the pockets of corporate stooges.

I would be strongly in favour of abolishing the minimum wage IF AND ONLY IF there is also a guaranteed UBI.

I would happily serve icecream for free if I got a UBI.

Janitors would need higher pay than many other jobs.

Maybe these terms mean something different to y'all but in NZ Living Wage is considerably higher than the minimum wage. And you definitely can live on minimum wage, but not well. I'd definitely expect making icecreams to be a minimum wage job. For reference NZ minimum wage is $23.15 ($14.25 US) Living wage is $26 ($16.01 US) . What's a US living wage?

the avg DQ worker is like 30 years old right? how long should people be living with their parents?

Good points, although I think the concern about the difficulty of avoiding a neo slavery caste is larger. That said, one of the arguments for UBI is that it would give the freedom to walk away from shitty employers, so the pressure would be in the opposite direction. I don't think it's necessarily that simple, since the creativity geared towards exploitation seems to be boundless.

Must own a franchise to have a shit opinion like that.

Stupid people don't know there are stupid people and they are them.
