Republicans tell you to go to school if you want a better job.
They turn around and tell you that you wouldn’t be in debt if you hadn’t gone to school.
I call bull.
Every job should pay a livable wage, and companies that don’t pay it should be responsible for the cost of public assistance.
@lythander paper delivery boys are a thing of the past.
Kids generally don’t work full time. Arguing for low wages helps corporations who have been shortchanging Americans for decades.
@prodygy That's fair. Given the cost of a physical paper no one would pay for them anyway.
Where do you draw the line then? Like the UK have 2 minimum wages, one for under, say, 23, and one for over? I agree that full time jobs should pay a reasonable, living wage. Presumably we can outlaw tipping at the same time? Because the inflation that a change like this would require the Fed to raise rates and put people out of work to address that. It's a big messy problem if you look closely.
@Helen_Noonan @lythander oh, our labor laws and culture are insane.
My friends from New Zealand can’t believe how many Americans work 60 hours a week.
@prodygy There should be something like the Affordable Care Act for attending school, so people won't run into guaranteed debt traps placed by the private schools lobby in Congress.
Education is a human right & necessity.
