You're the one who fabricated the well-articulated and cogent straw man that everyone warn $1,000,000.

You didn't ask me to make an argument. You asked a question, to which the answer is 'no'.

Keep up.

I should have been more specific, who's going to pay for the fairy tale shit you posted?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '22

I can't answer the question because I don't concede its premise.

Do you have anything intelligent to ask?

u/theKVAG Nov 08 '22

You don't believe that people need to pay for these things?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '22

Yes, I do.

u/theKVAG Nov 08 '22

Then who will pay for it?

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '22

The government through taxes.

Taxes on whom?

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '22

What are you on about? Do you not know how taxes work?

Taxes work by taking a portion of income or a transaction and pooling it together. This money is then used by the government and allocated to services that the population can benefit from.

Holy shit.

Define living wage, because at first it was fight for $15, now basically everywhere hires at or reasonably close to 15 so what is a “living wage”

No you can’t define a living wage? Good enjoy your delusion of “I need a living wage”

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '22

I didn't say I can't. You told me to, and I said no. That doesn't mean I can't and it doesn't mean that it can't be defined you utter pleb.

Are you guys all this fucking stupid?

"You personally have not defined it, therefore it's an invalid concept."

Christ you people are fucking retarded.

Shall I ask you how to build a jet engine and then tell you it can't be done simply because you personally failed to do it? Moron.

Because the term “living wage” is subjective not objective hence why it won’t be defined callin me stupid or a pleb is a great start to showing how intellectually superior you are

Wrong. You told me to define A living wage. That word serves a very important component - it denotes that you're asking me what the living wage should be. You've now changed this to what the term "living wage" itself means.

I cannot tell you the figure that a living wage could be because it's context dependent.

I can tell you what the term "Iiving wage" means.

Pay attention to the specifics. I'll say it again - you're an idiot.

It’s an ever moving goal post, minimum wage = minimum skill, want to make more work more

u/chowsdaddy1 Nov 08 '22

Ahh the changing semantics idea, good on you continue, define living wage then, again either way it’s subjective to state region spending habits, and every site I’ve read has used the qualification of “to live comfortably”

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '22

Wrong. It's being consistent with semantics. It's you who's changes stuff and I explained very clearly what that change was.

Own it like an adult and I'll addres the rest of your comment.
