    I’ve heard people call it a thriving wage but if this is what it takes to get the wine moms to shift left, let’s go with this terminology.

    Like, grilled corn is amazing. You just throw it on, straight in the husk, turn it three or four times, and get something delicious. Don't even have to put anything on it if you don't want, but I usually put some BBQ rub and some butter or oil. But if they aren't going to accommodate something that simple, they can get fucked.

    Employers in British Columbia: “The living wage is too expensive for us!”

    Employees: “Maybe you shouldn’t have increased prices to an astronomical amount and gave your CEOs record payouts”

    I don't think that I laugh or love enough to meaningfully supplement my living wage :/

    After so many years of working and with an aging body, i'd demand a dying wage on top of that too.

    No wage seize the means of production in common and abolish wages in general.

    This is how I feel whenever someone says "we ought to have a UBI... below the poverty level." The entire world has been stolen from us and we deserve 100% of that surplus back.

    Money has diminishing marginal utility, and we live in a profoundly unequal economy. That means the overwhelming majority of our resources are being wasted. With today's technology we should be living large.
