    I also oppose the minimum wage. It not being enough to live an acceptable quality of life at full time hours is bullshit.

      I live in Spokane, WA, just across the border from Idaho. Where I live the minimum wage is 16.66/hr with no income tax. Just a short journey into Idaho, and it’s the federal low of 7.25/hr minus income tax.

      In the theme of that one meme with that one actor who I can’t remember the name of and am too lazy too look up …

      "You oppose the minimum wage because you simp for the owning class.

      I oppose the minimum wage because I believe wage labor is inherently oppressive and the owner-worker dichotomy should be abolished.

      We are not the same"

      To clarify, he believes that there should be no floor to what an employer may pay you. Believes that by removing the minimum wage, it would put downward pressure on all wages, and that would be a good thing. (I assume you recognize that, but just want to make sure you know that he is in opposition to your viewpoint).

        It might result in fewer billionaires, at least temporarily.
