To be honest I can ' t find it anymore . I read that , or what I interpreted as that in another post . But I might very well have read her wrong . The point about her not believing that this represents feminism is in this post though . <| sep |> I have that table and its been great . So free speakers . <| sep |> Thank you ! appreciate it . <| sep |> Blaming the minimum wage and other worker protections is the age old excuse of the rich and the right in order to dissuade from giving workers a leg up . The argument goes that regulations don ' t help , they only hurt , and we just gotta put up with the imperfect world of capitalism because any attempt to make life better will just make it worse . The elites are trying to impose a form of learned helplessness in you where you just accept the system as it exists and never try to improve it . I ' m not saying the minimum wage is a perfect solution , it ' s quite imperfect , but I really don ' t but the arguments that the minimum wage is harmful to the economy as a whole , at least not in moderation . There are better solutions out there , I admit that . Unions , basic income , even workplace democracy aka what socialism is supposed to be , but I do believe a minimum wage will be an improvement for workers in the us . If your argument has any validity at all , it is the lack of bargaining power in other sectors of the economy that dissuades them from pursuing increases . Lack of bargaining power is the core problem .
