eliminating jobs isn’t a way to stop povertyThen maybe they shouldn’t have staff.

If you can’t afford to give a job it wasn’t a real job to begin with.eliminating jobs isn’t a way to stop poverty
Not allowing people to start businesses when they can’t (or won’t) pay minimum wages is a good start. I’d start a yard/car/window cleaning business tomorrow if I only had to pay staff $5 an hour.Anrakyr:

so only the rich can afford to start companies? yeah, that works for moving people out of povertyNor allowing people to start businesses when they can’t (or won’t) pay minimum wages is a good start. I’d start a yard/car/window cleaning business tomorrow if I only had to pay staff $5 an hour.
No. Only those that can afford to pay minimum wage. If the company doesn’t earn enough to pay it and they have to pay it then it will go bust. So don’t allow it to start up in the first place. Similarly, if a company can afford to pay it but won’t, then take them out of business.Freddy:

-With all due respect, there’s a lot wrong with this.If the company doesn’t earn enough to pay it and they have to pay it then it will go bust. So don’t allow it to start up in the first place. Similarly, if a company can afford to pay it but won’t, then take them out of business.
You are making a lot of assumptions.I’ve heard some strange ideas on this board. This one’s up there. WAY up there
That would be the rich.No. Only those that can afford to pay minimum wage
but what will be the minimum agreed wage? who or what sets it?You should not be able to run a business by paying people less than the minimum agreed wage.
Business owners want to pay people a fair wage, but you seem to indicate they should not be creating jobs. So if they don’t get to create a job…Your question indicates that someone has too provide jobs that don’t already exists. Just pay people a fair wage. It’s really not a point we need to waste time on
As noted, the FBI statistics do not bear ;you out; 409 in 100,000 is not 1 in 5 - unless there is a newer New Math.If one in five commit crime and next to no one gets indicted then it follows they are not being procecuted.
Theres nothing wild about it.
The Federal Government sets a Minimum Wage under the the Fair Labor Standards Act. States either adopt it, or may set a minimum wage higher than that.but what will be the minimum agreed wage? who or what sets it?
I said one in five commit crimes not one in five are prosecuted.As noted, the FBI statistics do not bear ;you out; 409 in 100,000 is not 1 in 5 - unless there is a newer New Math
This is exhaustingIf a person is not prosecuted you have no way to know if they committed a crime.
You’re just making things up.
By that I mean that a company must guarantee to pay minimum wage. Paying less will be an offence and you’ll be required to pay the minimum or close down.Freddy:

First, “don’t allow [a business] to start up in the first place?”
Yes, seriously, Freddy.How does a business know how much they can pay? Seriously? If you’re going to start up a business and put money into it and you don’t have a business plan then you’re a fool and shouldn’t be starting up in the first place
All your problems were addressed. And yes, if you want to work for nothing or your wife does or your partner does then lucky you. But employ anyone and you pay minimum wage. I can’t see how this is difficult to followFreddy:

I’d pretty sure the Apple boys didn’t have a business plan showing anticipated sales, operating costs, etc., when they made their first Apple I.
Interesting that now you’re walking back your ideas - I must pay minimum wage if I pay anything at all.
As usual…when challenged the plan changes. But I still can’t pay commission-only, apparently.
Further, I had a half-dozen serious issues, just off of the top of my head. Those stand unrefuted.
I’ll charitably assume you’ve never run a business.
