Sure, ideally everyone gets well-paid, fulfilling jobs...

So, when do we start talking about practical solutions?



A reasonable minimum wage


I do believe in raising the minimum wage, but how does that address the fact that outsourcing and automation have been reducing and will continue to reduce the supply of jobs?

Thousands of people have skills that are not worth enough, these days, to support the lifestyle they are used to. That's the problem here.


What about the people whose labor is not worth your minimum wage?
