I ' ve never been in a relationship but I ' ve been rejected a couple of times so at the point I said fuck it . No point of seeking a relationship when I ' m just going to get rejected anyway lol . It ' s not like I ' m a total dick or anything , I ' m really nice to people regardless of who they are . I treat other the way I wanted to be treated but some people don ' t want to be in one or prefer to be a friend . That ' s life I guess lol . <| sep |> You can ' t dismiss the laws of economics , but you can ' t rely on them to produce an ethical , functional society either . Completely unconstrained capitalism will concentrate wealth at the top indefinitely and screw over whoever it needs to at the bottom . Not everyone can be part of an exclusive , high demand labour pool , and those who are able to get into them , by virtue of combinations of natural talent , hard work and a lot of environmental factors beyond their control do deserveneed to be paid more . On the other hand , it ' s no longer a small , high demand labour pool if everyone skills up from their minimum wage job , and as long as we have these unskilled labourers and are employing them then they need to be paid enough to live on , otherwise they won ' t be able to live . As I said , they ' ll be needing to use food banks , soup kitchens and government handouts . I understand that it might not always be possible to provide for the unemployedunemployable , but to have somebody in full time work unable to earn a living is something that society needs to protect against . I ' m aware of the arguments against minimum wages as driving away jobs that would otherwise exist etc . and I ' m unconvinced . The conservatives opposed the introduction of the minimum wage in 1998 in the UK on the grounds that it would drive unemployment straight back up , and it didn ' t . Unemployment remained roughly steady until 2008 and that whole mess . Off to bed , will reply tomorrow .
