I'll try and fix the title right now.
Edit: couldn't think of a good way to put this in the title, I think that's why I left it out originally, but I did state it clearly in the OP, I guess you're reading a topic, not topic titles, and I hope you at least skim the OP before replying!
It's the businesses that pay low wages that are the terrible ones. In an ideal society there wouldn't be a minimum wage and if a free person wants to waste their time getting paid 10 cents they should be able to do it, but in the context of our society, a minimum wage protects workers from their corporate overlords.
Well, if the minimum wage rose with productivity it'd be something like $18 per hour.
And honestly all those stupid jobs is what is wrong with our society. It's an endless hamster wheel of stupidity. 150 years ago almost everyone had to produce food so that people wouldn't starve.
Now that it takes only 3% of people to produce the food, we should all be working 16 hour work weeks and live comfortably, instead we've created this shit-show of a society.
We pay rent-seeking assholes left and right, and all the work is pointless busy work. All those retail jobs are unnecessary, the wages, if set by free people would be much higher, and all the nonsense work that doesn't deserve to be done wouldn't be done. That's an ideal society right there.
