Because people don’t understand they should be saving up in their dead-end job so they can start their own business

Work, save up, start a business of your own choosing. So many excuses for those unable to achieve this simple formula that our forefathers fought and died for us to have the right to.

This is insane. The rise in wages for the bottom half are higher than they have ever been and it is solely because of low unemployment. How in the world do some people become economists and not understand supply and demand?

Could someone elaborate on what they think a good developer should "learn cold"

Regulation is not necessary. DuckDuckGo is a great alternative. YouTube on the other hand..

This. People miss the broader picture when they support “safety” regulations. Politicians will often amplify the outliers in order to gain public support to enact regulations that further monopolize returns for their buddies.

Cronyism. Outlawing building types like these hurts middle and low class individuals. They take advantage of the public by citing “safety” reasons but really this just lines up the pockets of larger real estate developers and their political cronies. I imagine it is more correlated with left-leaning cities but wouldn’t be surprised to see cronies on the right too

This. An ad-free, recommendations-free, comment-free, subscription-free YouTube. Just a search bar with an advanced search feature. That way I can just watch what I need to, not what I want to.

Because it’s probably government funded. If it’s not burning a hole in your own pocket it’s not worth staying up all night over.

Boomers grew up in a generation of less regulated markets. Less regulated markets allowed for greater wealth creation. Easier to build wealth when there's more money to go around.

This sounds like an echo of liberal ideology.

> They're creating this massive underclass of workers that won't be able to afford any of the services they provide.

My understanding is they set a corporate minimum wage of $15/hour. Is this not a higher wage than more than half of Americans?

Perhaps you could offer a more privacy friendly version of their security camera?

Besides more electric cars, what else could we expect from “electrification”?

TikTok went the wrong way about preventing cyber bullying against the disabled. In this situation it would have been better to do nothing at all. If they had just let disabled individuals get cyber bullied they could have avoided this negative press altogether.

You are missing the point. Minimum wage increases don’t harm all businesses, but they harm all employees. Businesses compensate for minimum wage increases by reducing hours or staff. This in turn increases labor supply and competition for the remaining available jobs.

Says the monetary value created from a tech job vs the monetary value created from a retail job.

Employees who could have been hired by these businesses won’t be now. This creates more competition for the workers because it decreases the supply of jobs. (ECON 101)
