Morphine Prince 86,853 Posted February 19 I cannot believe this has to be said but: If you canāt pay your employees a livable wage your business does not deserve to existĀ People work to LIVE.

Marx was not a good person and his theories have never worked, theyāve only lead to human rights abuses, food shortages,Ā and authoritarianism. John Maynard Keynes is a much better role model whose ideas actually worked in practice. We need a mixture of the Nordic and the East Asian economic models and to empower labor unions. I agree that American capitalism is inhumane and exploitative, but realize that itās not like this in the rest of the developed world.

As i said before in the past, the "zombie" companies as they are called hold back the economy tbh Ā If ur business is so unprofitable it cant survive without paying super low wages then its a drag on the economy because its using up labor that could be better used elsewhere and then that person payed better too Ā U dont want to create jobs for the sake of creating jobs. Unemployment rate alone doesnt determine how prosperous an econony is. If unempmoyment is only 2% but its all in low paying jobs from uncompetitive businesses then the economy is still sh*t 17 1 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
