Going to Work Every day

I will "dictate or impose" things through the representative democracy we live in and there's nothing you can do about it.

Meh. Let me know how far you get, and if the resulting law is constitutional or not.

I'd recommend rather than going to the courts to inflict your preference on others, that you create a compelling market advantage to what you want. It'll take far less time, and be far more effective if in the market.

Market advantage is found in 70 hour work weeks for company scrip and child labor.

I'll pass.
 
I've come back from just about every European vacation with a cold....

Not fun.

Going on ten days now. It gets better, then it comes back with a vengeance. Yesterday, I felt great. So, I cut the grass. Today, I woke up with a clogged nose and have had sneezing fits most of the day.

I don't usually do drugs, but I am tempted to buy some OTC meds.

I do believe that you are wrong about that. While, yes, there are some people who do those kind of hours, its not something that employers can demand from their employees. Those typically doing those types of hours are doing it for they business that they own, and by their choice.

Typically, in 2017, yes. But only because they were forced out of old behaviors.

The behaviors that you seem to be describing hasn't been in effect since before the labor unions came to power.

Now they are pretty much part and parcel of socially expected behavior by both employers and employees, so woven into the fabric of society.

And people like you are pushing hard to get back to that, dictating that all these service industry people "don't deserve" enough money to support themselves unless they work to full time jobs.

Nice of you to plant a strawman on me, because it's a load of partisan talking points bull****.

The reality is quite different:

'A 'shocking' discovery was made when a pair of researchers at Harvard Business School decided to analyze the impact of higher minimum wages in San Francisco on restaurant failures...hint: they went up.

Entitled "Survival of the Fittest: The Impact of the Minimum Wage on Firm Exit", this latest study on the devastating consequences of minimum wage was conducted by Dara Lee Luca and Michael Luca and concluded that each $1 increase in the minimum wage results in a roughly 4-10% increase in the likelihood of a restaurant going out of business.'

Thoughts?


Let me guess?

Liberals? - 'this is bull****'

Conservatives? - 'we told ya so'

Kinda what happens when the economically illiterate try to dictate to the market without understanding how the market is going to react, and end up doing even more harm to those they profess to support and care about.

Should'a just left it alone.
